Well I know... I know

Well just a quick life update, with the lovely pandemic going on things have been insane for me and our family. I am still waiting to go back to work even after being told that I would be able to start back in July. Little has been back at daycare since I was informed that just before her birthday. Which she is officially a preschooler this year, not just a preschool 3-4 yrs she is actually in pre-kindergarten classes at her daycare. I am so proud of her. 

Crafting wise I have completed several projects and started a few as well. I have finished the strawberry cardigan for the littles Easter dress, and am currently working on the steggie sweater for this fall for her. I’m trying really hard to open her color horizons as she only wants to wear pink.  I did get her to agree that stegosaurus’ were not pink in color fully so she could have pink for the spikes but not for the whole body of the sweater. Crochet wise I did just complete a stuffed unicorn and started the Sophie’s universe CAL blanket. I love the difficulty of this pattern so far it’s pretty easy and it’s showing me all sorts of new stitches. 

Been MIA sorry

So I do apologize for not keeping you all updated but a lot has happened in my personal life over the last couple of months that, to be honest, just hasn't been fantastic. We moved again, due to mold in our last apartment, which I can't remember if I posted about or not but it was stressful. At that time I had planned to post a what I got for my birthday deal, however my birthday was on August 4th and we had to move on the fifth so I did get to unwrap my gifts from family and friends but had to pack them right back up again. I know fun right? They are all still packed up right now too. We had to get rid of the only real furniture we had gotten up to that point as well. 

Then, when things were just starting to settle back down after that, had started saving to replace furniture and such, my grandmother took a turn for the worse and passed on. So I flew up to Wisconsin for her funeral at the end of August. And had a bit of a downward funk of a mood for about a month. In that time frame I can count on one hand how many times I had actually gotten outside to run or even workout in general honestly. 

But now we have a couch again, slightly used but better than our old one, it's a lazyboy. 

We also hope to have a bed and mattress soon as well or atleast I hope we do, we have been sleeping on an air mattress since the move and it got a hole yesterday. Tried to patch it up today and it is turning into an epic fail escipade right now.  

 But yea tomorrow will be posting about my attempt at making apple butter so wish me luck!

QOTD: what do you do when things get out of control?
