Virgo

There were a lot of things I could have done today. Most of them involved either being sociable or cleaning. Since I just returned from being out of town and potentially exposed to “who knows what,” that became my excuse to avoid people for almost all of the day.

And cleaning? Is there anyone who really loves to clean?

So I decided to spend the day on Virgo – the next of the Nora Corbet Zodiac Girls.

This is where I  was on the 2nd which was the last stitching before heading to Missouri-

and this is where I ended last night –

which was a total of more than 1600 stitches later including a lot of Kreinik. There are less than 300 stitches to go before this one joins her sisters in waiting for backstitch and beads. Then it is on to either the Barn Owl or the Haunted Library.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
