I do suffer from Seasonal Affective disorder so when the days are dark, so am I. I feel pain more acutely and slip into myself. I work in a government public service position, so by the time I hang it together at work, I have nothing left for others.
With the longer daylight hours and the sun peeking out every so often, I feel a weight lifting and start feeling better. Now it's time to reconnect with all you wonderful people and leave my lurking status behind and start being involved again

I haven't posted an update of WIPs in forever and even some of the finishes.
So warning... This is picture heavy

Unframed last minute finishes that were given to DH and DS. Getting framed soon.

And now WIPS..
My goddaughter is expecting her first baby in May, so a birth announcement by Vervaco. I have also been crocheting some things as well. This is my prime focus right now. When it's done, I will move into a rotation.

This is a Vervaco bookmark I am working on my lunch hour. Almost done.

I'm stalled on my Paris Market. Still working out how to get to the left side with shoulder issues. I guess I will have to get it on a hoop and do in shorter sessions.

And last in my to-do rotation. A pumpkin. I had to put this one away when dealing with cataracts but no reason now to leave it any longer.
Where I am ...

And what it will look like when done...

Now that I have taken the time (a much needed day off today) to put this on the forum, I am hoping it gets me going again and removes my guilt in not being more involved with this amazing group.
Please know that I have enjoyed all your projects this past winter, and worried for you when life was less than grand. It wasn't that I didn't care. SAD just leaves you emotionally unable to move into a social environment.
But I'm back and looking forward to a spring/summer filled with wonderful stitching experiences with you.
Thanks for looking at my update.
And truly...
Cheers
