Part of the time, I've worked on the family "to-do" list.
We've managed to get the swimming pool winterized and covered...
...while Elvis watched.
We also managed to settle my 86 yo mother-in-law into her assisted living apartment, cleaned out her house in Dallas, and are in the process of selling the property.
Plus we finally found what seems to be the right program for our daughter (21 yo with disabilities) so that she has something outside of family...her "niche" so-to-speak. Because everyone needs to have something that promotes self-worth - especially folks with disabilities.
Thankfully it appears we found it! I'm thrilled to say that my daughter has decided to participate in a sheltered workshop at Goodwill.
She works two days a week. Works! She started training last week. Job coach(s) have said she is doing fine. She says she loves it. A very important item on "to-do" list done!
The other busy stuff has been knitting. On the needles, I'm doing a sample knit for Knit Picks. Getting ready to block and happy to have it that far. On the loom, I'm re-knitting a couple of my designs for an up-coming loom knit book in colors preferred by the publisher.
Of course, I'm already making plans for what I want to work on after the deadlines are met. I think I'll plan it around this yarn...
...which is already in my stash. See? I am still sticking with that yarn diet!

I've been mostly absent, too. The latest art class has really got me spending a lot of time in the studio.
Yea! for Angela. That's great.
Sounds like you've been busy! And that sounds like an awesome program your daughter is in!
Good luck with meeting the deadlines!
Good luck on your deadlines!
That program sounds great! So inspiring to see people helping and doing things that make a difference!
