       Fall is coming! We have had cooler temps all week and I am glad of it. My crafting mojo is coming back stronger and stronger in all varied projects. Quilting, wool work, paper crafting, gardening clean up, canning and freezing the bounty and  even minimizing my household. I won't say I am motivated for housework. Now that is going too far. Haha! But I do feel an energy to start getting my nest streamlined and getting things ready again for our Minnesota winters. I want to get back down in my basement studio and crank up the music --and the creativity!  I am trying to track my increased motivations on Motivation Mondays and the results of my goal-making on Finish it Fridays. Join me as we start a few new endeavors!

My All--Garden Style!

Is it Spring yet? Gardening is one of my top three hobbies. I also love quilting and scrapbooking. If I had to choose a fourth it would be thrift and garage sale shopping. Oh, and going to lunch with friends. But, maybe, lunching with the ladies shouldn't count....It is lot's of fun but not very productive! Frankly, I have not been super productive the last 8 months in any of my top four or five hobbies. Starting in late July of 2017, I had a sequence of several unforeseen and unrelated health concerns. One after the other I had a group of crazy challenges.  First a serious staph infection in my right middle finger that almost cost me the finger completely. Surgery was required. I was then hospitalized for 5 days, I was on IV antibiotics for 30 days, and bed rest for a month with my hand suspended above me in a sling. I don't know why I was smiling in this photo. Probably because I had no idea what all was to come next. We did save the hand and the finger. Praise Go
