Life is still going on and we are coping as best as we can right now, in our exhaustion and sorrow. I'm not really interested in talking about it on this blog or on my social media, but if you know us, or have an idea of what is going on, I'm are happy to talk to you privately. However, I'm still having a hard time focusing. Any progress I make is a positive right now, in my opinion. So you aren't worried, everyone is healthy, all of us are alive, and nobody is getting a divorce. There are just some hard things happening and we could definitely benefit from your prayers.

My designs are taking a little backseat to life, though I do hope I can get back in the game and work on them more diligently when we get through the roughest parts. So, besides these socks, I am still working on Qiddysat Katrin and Nisseet, and I hope to have Warda ready in the middle of May. If I do this right, it might be ready for beta knitting in time for folks to give it to someone for Mother's Day. The sleeve on my vintage styled blouse is still awaiting my attention, and I'm hoping to get to it tomorrow night at sit and stitch.

I haven't picked up Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge at all. Garden of Truth is still on my nightstand, and I peek in it here and there. The only thing I've really been reading, besides my prayer book and Bible, and much more slowly than I had been before, is Mrs. Pollifax on the China Station.
