Just for Today

My  new phone is not working properly...It tells me that my passwords are incorrect.  It will not forward pictures and I cannot recieve emails.... So, no posting here, no calmness for me.....Here are two of my latest iron on Halloween squares...I still have to applique them with the machine.  I am getting tired of Halloween and it is not even here yet...Time is going so very fast.. Guess I had better make some Thanksgiving items.....Slowly I am making new friends to replace (not really possible) lost family and lost friends due to COVID. Political stress abounds...

I now have four of these spider blocks.. I will applique them, then leave them for next year..
Above, the first of my fall potholders..
Below, jar openers for presents these holidays..

Seems I cannot get away from stress....Terminal cancer is visiting our family...scary as all get out.
I am dealing with it by sewing mindlessly and munching on the $5 chocolate bar from Trader Joe's.
Voila, washcloths
I bought new facecloths for my bathroom, but they came all cheap and scratchy.  Not wanting to dump them nor return them, I covered them with pretty for cleaning things.  All done tonight....so relaxing!!
No pictures because of my disabled phone.

The bandage on my nose comes off this upcoming Tuesday...I will so be grateful.  Also graterful that the MOHs surgery and the plastic surgery are over...and successful.
With a heavy heart, I am trying to de-stash in small ways....a fabric piece here and there...
Very, very grateful me has wonderful Sherry coming by tomorrow to check on my phone..
I am kind of out there since my sister is so busy now with her family...
Me, the former  matriarch of our family, is now trying to concentrate of her own mental and physical health and what I can control.  What I can control is so very little. I am glad I live in my apartment without the worry of a house.  I am grateful that friends still gather round with love and support.
Happy to still be alive.

Praying for your comfort and clarity. The older we get,, the more we realize how little control we have. Don't let it depress you. You don't have to be general manager of the universe. Sometimes phones are just screwy. Sometimes the best thing is do power it off and throw it in the drawer until you can deal with it. Don't let it stress you- you didn't build it. Lovely sewing photos. Keep petting fabric.
