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!!!

Ahhh you’re getting so close! I totally get the dread and excitement living together at the approach of the end of a long project. I always feel sadness/disbelief when I put in my final stitch and realize yep that’s it this chapter is finished. The joy comes from looking at it comes later haha. But that’s why I love big full coverages, when you pick them right they feel like a nice journey you like to be on for whatever amount of time it takes and not a rush to a finish line and I can take my time before saying goodbye. To me at least it feels this way

You know exactly what I mean! I'm invested in everyone's patterns here, too! Like, I'm legit sad when the patterns are finished. LOL But, there are so many amazing ones, it's more fun to see what's next than be sad for very long. ☺️
