RetroSew

Returning back to an old passion of sewing, I discovered a Facebook group where sewers recreate garments from vintage patterns and fabrics. So as I hone my skills, I'm planning to do just that! This morning I ran across some old childhood pictures and I think I've found my inspiration outfit that I would actually still wear today!

And then these fabrics from old family photographs would be so fun.

2020 Life got Real

2020 is the year of the Covid19  Pandemic

2020 is the year I had to work from home

2020 is the year there were no vacations with family

2020 is the year I lost my dog Henry the Yorkie

All of the above is hard, but life got real on November 22 when I lost my dear mother.

Everyday I think about her and how lucky I was to have her as my mom.  In 2020 my heart was broken.

 My little guy October 8, 2010 - October 19, 2020
Henry Hudson Parker Longfellow, you were a perfect little boy.  I cherished our relationship and I'm mourning your absence.  I am so sorry you got so sick.  We already miss you so much.

And then this happened...I'm pretty sure a squirrel was involved!

The Gnome

 Moving  into this house has brought gardening back to my life.  I have truly missed out over the years both in nature's beauty and a good workout.  This little gnome graces my gardens. Yesterday my creative side took him for his own photoshoot.
