I totally spaced on a check in question last week! :sweat_smile: Thanks to those of you to popped in without my prodding!

This week’s question is…

It’s the first day of Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere. What do you look forward to most during springtime?

For me, it’s typically Spring Break and our first family vacation (or staycation) of the year, no matter how big or small!

Spring break was last week here.
I’m just looking forward to more sunshine, I’m really craving the light.

I’m looking forward to more and more daylight! The best thing ever here in grey, cloudy Michigan.

I had a rare sun-day today! One of the cats was shouting at me on my lunch break so I put her harness on and gave her (and me) a short break in the sun.

In other news. Not much happening on the embellishment front. I found a useable pattern in one of my books and I spent one training session and a project meeting winding yarn. Nearly done with that part. Hopefully this yarn will work as intended, otherwise it’s back to stash shopping.

Ooh, the mention of spring flowers made me think of all the bright orange poppies that I recently saw popping up alongside the freeway. That is definitely one of my spring favorites! A bit of beauty along a drive is always a nice thing!

My mug rug is going well so far! Going to make some more progress tonight during some well deserved sewing machine time. :slight_smile:

I have my mug rug packaged up and almost ready to go. I just need to go to pirateship and print a postage label.

I started constructing the different elements for the embellisment. Thing 1 of at least four done. Might as well make it eight or twelve… We’ll see. The pattern appears to be working so far.

I made decent progress today. Ran it by a co-conspirator and got the thumbs up so hopefully that’s good! Brainstorming another component for another day…maybe tomorrow!

I hate when I feel too cold to be productive! I picked up an ‘XL Extra-Long Back & Neck Heating Pad’ for times when I feel chilly. I think l’ve worn it in the intended style once, now it just sits on the seat of my chair and I turn it on any time I want a little extra warmth. It’s helped me craft on nights when I normally would have declared it too chilly to work.
