"Rooted in Magic"
I mean to be here more, really, I do. The days are spent making, by evening my eyes are too tired for screens, and/or K. is using the computer. I love these days of stitching. So lucky to be able to do work that I love.

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "It's not a choice."
At our first gathering a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that she was sitting in front of me. At the next sessions, I noticed that she moved up a few rows. Ha!

Spring has sprung.
