I hope everyone is safe and keeping busy with your crafting during these trying times.
One thing it has taught me is that I would have no problem being a hermit. When this first started up the beginning of March my daughter grounded me. I have health issues so she wasn't taking any chances. I have always hated shopping so not a big issue for me to be in the house and my yard all day. I haven't been out since then. She does the grocery shopping and any other errands that need to be done outside the house. She also grounded my husband but he doesn't go out much anyway due to health issues. Our weather here in Montana has been a great help with social distancing because even though it is April we have been getting snow at least once a week and it has been COLD. They do say that this week and the foreseeable future should be warmer and just rain if any precipitation at all.
The upside is all the crafting time I want. I get up and do all my chores in the morning. Usually by 10am I can sit down to stitch or diamond paint. For some reason my knitting and crocheting bugs have left the premises.
I had a bit of startitis earlier this month. I started 4 new HAED's. I have also resurrected a long ignored HAED.
All of my stitching are Randal Spangler art work. He is my favorite artist and his draglings are just SO CUTE. I am doing what I call #YearofSpangler. So far I have been able to stick to is as I have so many of his charts and most of my WIPs are his.
First new start is Midnight Stories. This one seems to be an obsession right now. I started it on 3/5/2020. On 4/7/2020 I had a page finish and I haven't slowed down since.
Then since when you are reading Midnight Stories you get the Midnight Munchies.
Then I Sailed Away.
Then it started snowing so I had to start this cutie.
This one was started but on the wrong piece of fabric so it is in time out.
This is a restart of a long ignored WIP. I didn't like how it looked so I turned the fabric and started again.
As if stitching isn't enough Diamond Art Club is now charting his art for Diamond Painting. This was started today and I am also working on the cross stitch one with it.
Well I've rambled on enough. See you soon.
Cindy, these are all fabulous new starts - great to see you enjoying your time in Iso.
ReplyDeleteWow! You've converted me...I am beginning to love Spangler too! I especially love the Snowman Magic. Your work is lovely...This isolation is only proof that we are forward thinkers,and have prepared ourselves in advance to be quarantined. LOL!!
ReplyDeleteI ma glad that you are coping well with the lockdown and being sensible too! My parents have got used to the idea they can't go into town all the time and are enjoying the garden more.
ReplyDeleteSo many projects hahaha - I love the thrill of new starts but then I feel so bad when I realise how long ago I started some of them. In the last couple of years, with work taking up so much of my time, I've managed to get better control and I only allow myself 1 new start a year, if I can hopefully get 1 finish as well.
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely the queen of Monster Projects! I am exhausted just scrolling through all of these. They are beautiful, and so intense! Glad you are staying safe and well.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, you are on a Spangler roll! You have not problem keeping busy while isolating with such a wonderful choice of projects. Happy Stitching and keep well.
