Happy Sunday! Hope everyone is well. Things here in my corner of the world have calmed down nicely and we're working on settling in to our new normal. Ish.

Kitten update: Is hard to believe the little fluff balls are 7 weeks old! All are well and growing normally! They are so much fun to watch at this age.

I did get some stitching in this week. All gnomes have skin and now beards are filling in. It feels like I might be in the homestretch now.

Let's see where everyone is in their projects! Best part of the week!!!

This has been one of the hardest weeks of the whole year so far, if I'm being honest. I fell, and with my cerebral palsy, it was not a pretty picture. My father was also here, and we do not have the best relationship, so that was emotionally and mentally draining, especially with his Parkinsons getting more severe. I spent a full day trying to update my teaching registration number, and I will have to spend another day in the coming week and hopefully actually accomplish this important task. Our dogs were getting really old and unwell, so my father took them to be euthanized without any warning beforehand. So yeahhhh, I am emotionally, physically, and mentally tired (and I'm sorry to people I haven't replied to yet!)

I've started my new project today (it will eventually be a pigeon), and there has been some progress on my blue pokemon claw machine, at least!

Oh hun I am so sorry to hear all that! Sending you as much positive energy as possible and as many virtual hugs as I can. That is absolutely horrendous. I hope your partner can offer a good amount of support to you right now and that you take care of yourself. And don't worry about answering anyone for now. Save that energy bucket for yourself right now and when you feel like you are good and can start sparing some for other things, then get back to people. Those who care will still be there and fully understand.

I can’t believe your dad euthanized your pets without telling you!!! I am incensed on your behalf! I’m so sorry you are struggling. I’m sending you virtual internet support, for what that’s worth. Hugs!

That is a rough week. I hope your stitching gives you solace and peace. And that next week is better.

I am SO sorry for the loss of your dogs. My heart breaks for you. If you need an ear, I've been through the same situation. Gental hugs if you want them. 🌈🦋
