Well, barring any sudden changes in health, attitude or whatever over the next couple of hours, we will be making the 4 hour trek up to my parents’ house tonight for the weekend.
My list making for the trip didn’t begin until late last night, which didn’t help my anxiety at all. I was still sitting on my computer at 11:00 PM, trying desperately to make my original logo concept for my mom’s business work. I ended up laying my head down on the keyboard in disgust because I don’t like it and it’s just too bad for now. I guess I need to remind myself that it’s just a first draft and I’m not always going to get it perfect on the first try. I think I’m spoiled because my last logo creation attempt turned out to be a snap.
Anyway, most things are mostly packed. Toiletries are almost packed (ran out of time this morning before we had to leave for work), clothes are all packed, dog stuff is packed. And, of course, my needlework bag was the first thing I packed. I started on that on Wednesday because I knew I wouldn’t have time to stitch before we left anyway. Hey, a girl has to have priorities! 🙂 Besides, stitching saves my sanity, so it’s much more important to focus on that than the smaller stuff. Okay, well prescription meds aren’t smaller, but you know what I mean.
I’m hoping to finish the last of three small projects in my latest model stitching job. I’ve picked up two designers since I started my Silver Needle hiatus. The really nice this is that I like both of these designers’ work, so stitching models for them is a pleasure. That makes three designers now, each of whom are kind, caring and do beautiful work. That should suffice for now. 😉
Well, back to the grind. Lots to do before we leave and the clock is ticking…
Have a safe journey and a lovely weekend.
