What’s up 2022

 I had intended to write before this but a lot have happened since then. 

First thing was Christmas Eve we had a water leak in the kitchen and couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. So we were not able to fix it and needed to just turn the water off to the house.  We have a well and creek so we had water for the toilet and drinking. Being Christmas there was no way we were going to find a plumber let alone be able to pay what someone would want.

Finally Tuesday, 4 days later we had water inside again.

We were also supposed to have 2 of my daughter’s come last weekend for a late Christmas but decided to reschedule for a couple months from now. I went through emotional up and down for a week.  Have to say the house looks good.  Thank goodness I didn’t do a lot of holiday baking before hand.

“The Man of the Place” birthday was the 31st. We never go out because he doesn’t like to on his birthday.

The first day of the new year I was able to spend time with fellow bloggers from all parts of the world.  Haven’t been able to zoom with them in over a year.  There was many reasons it didn’t happen but it all worked out this time  

Here is our host Chookyblue showing us her Lucy blocks

At one time there was 24 of us on. 

I worked on the Peace in Pieces 

I believe I’m about a third of the way done. Had so much pleasure being with other stitchers and I was able to sit in for about 6 hours, they were still going strong when I left.

I’m going to make myself a goal to help me get my mojo back for quilting. 

I’m going to do the One Month Challenge at Elm Street Quilts.

And this quilt is my first challenge. The goal is to just get the top finished. I’ll be sending it off to be quilted because it’s going to be a gift and I would like it to look nice.

I start a new planner, worked out the last month I ran out of pages to go another month. This one is a lime green book. Going for a cheerful color.

 While planning today I put down in writing what I’ve been thinking about goals. Since I was diagnosed with cancer thinking about having a future would be a trigger of fearful thoughts and getting past having these fears is something I’ve been working on.

Making plans, especially long turn ones is very challenging so I am going to do short term ones. I’m going for weekly and up to a month.

So for this weeks to do 

1. Work at least 15 minutes a day sewing on the top

2. I have a couple of knitting projects I should be able to finish this week

3. Start a gnome for the 2022 gnome KAL

4 Try a new recipe 

5. Clean up my house plants

I believe this is a doable, baby step, goals. It’s not just that it’s tasks to be completed but the fact it’s a planned commitment. Something I have not been doing outside of dealing with treating cancer. It’s been 10 months since my first CT scan showing no cancer and I’m trying hard to be back to a normal.

I have to keep to working at it.

Okay that’s enough rambling. 

Thank you for visiting and it means the world to me.

Linking up with design wall Monday 

Till next time
