From Grace to Chaos

-->


From February ’till June our lives have been turned upside down.
The studio has come to a complete halt,
I missed the annual June studio tour and our house is now in chaos 
due to our house sale that did not go through. 

I need another day of grace like I had back in February but it may be a long time coming.

The studio also came to a halt due to the fact that we are now working on our house again
New wood flooring for the upstairs will be going in the next couple of weeks 
and several other projects that need to be done are in progress.   
You can imagine how that has affected my work and our house.

On a brighter note the good news is my daughter is expecting 
a long awaited and longed for child. 
New grand baby will be arriving in August.
Before all of the chaos took hold I was able to finish up rugs,
which were on the Toika 
and they are now available at OOAK gallery in Micaville. 


Also in early spring I juried into the TRAC galleries 
and have woven table runners and soft sculptures
 available in both Spruce Pine and Burnsville.



Over a year ago I started piecing a Churn Dash quilt. 
Since I needed something to help me keep my sanity I assembled it and started quilting. 


Early every morning with my coffee in hand I can go to the studio 
enjoying the peace/quiet and quilt for at least a half hour 
till the endless list of tasks have to be started.

Sorry that it has taken me so long to get back to the blog.
It may not be too interesting but I will keep everyone updated on our progress!
Hope each and everyone is well, happy and a good kind of stitching, hooking, weaving busy!
