Well, since my last post, I haven’t been making a whole lot. I went on vacation, on my own, for nine days to visit my family.

Thanks to the lengthy traveling time (three flights in a row, each way) I had only six days to see as much of my mum and sister as possible.

Mum turned 90 and we had a party for her at her house (her first time she’s been home since last September thanks to a health crisis that had her in hospital for 10 weeks and then in a care home). She is hoping to be strong enough to return home, with daily visits from care aides, possibly in April.

The holiday was wonderful.

Beautiful weather, most days.

Beach yoga.

Beach walks.

Incredible birthday cake.

While there, my holiday crochet entailed making three dishcloths of which I didn’t get pictures. I left them at mum’s house to be used.

This morning I finally got back to the sewing room and made a tote bag for hanging up at work. Love this fabric so much.

I have a late shift today but a weekend off to look forward to. The weather is warming up nicely and I’m eagerly anticipating the new leaves and green shoots of spring.
