Day 28

 


 I have just spent 2 solid days at a needlepoint retreat. The Wool and the Floss hosted 18 women in Gross Point, Michigan, to share ideas, shop, get inspired and learn!  It was an excellent weekend. I thought Detroit was farther away but it wasn’t a bad drive at all. I will definitely visit them again! 





My current project is a baby mobile for Leah and Eric’s bundle of joy. I hope it’s done in time for the new baby! I have no pattern for the little animals but I did use pictures and an old canvas for inspiration on the woodland animals. There are 8 of them all together. I got a lot of help from my new friends at the retreat. All but one of the animals were completed on my cruise travels in January.


With the mobile complete, I am now working on these trees. There will actually be 3 of them and they will be gifts for the girls. I am using fibers I would have never used before this weekend but my new friends gave me encouragement to try something new!

Much anticipated trip

 I’m on the move again. My house is kind of complete and I feel all moved in.

I will post pictures when I can. For I will give a few hints Men wear Capri pants. (Manpris!!) Coffees are tiny and you stand at a counter to drink them.  Breakfast was a cappuccino, freshly squeezed orange juice and a chocolate croissant as big as a shoe. All for €6

Day 97

 As usual, life has ups and downs. The people buying my house have to sell theirs first so my sale is contingent. My contract says I can entertain back up offers. I am doing that now!

Day 19

I’m waiting for the sun to rise while sitting at the back of the ship. We are currently sailing to St. John’s Antigue having already passed Dominica and Guadeloupe.  The moon phase is a waining crescent moon. Tomorrow or the next day I should be able to see the sun and the moon together as the sun rises below the moon. This is called the New Moon. Google has a lot of positive things to say about the new moon.  My first picture shows the moon and the sun. Although not yet aligned, you can see they are getting there.  Enjoy the beauty of the sun rising and have a very blessed day.
