Tasks -whether they are mundane, ordinary or exciting hide how fast the Time Flies!
It is hard to believe we have been here for nearly 6 weeks. All the rush of packing is over… and now the unpacking takes place. As a result, of all the deadline-based activity time flies?
About July
The month of July was hot and steamy and the pasture was alive with butterflies. Of course, I had to drop everything several days and record with the camera as many as I could. I saw many of the Kentucky butterflies in one field and it is in my backyard! The Swallowtails, Monarchs, Cabbage Whites, Clouded Yellow, Admirals, Sprites, and Skippers feeding on the wildflowers in the field.
Rain
In Kentucky, we are technically in a drought and surface plants are struggling without rain. See time flies even for plants. In addition, the rain has been sporadic and uneven, so the ground has not had a good soaking. As a result, we cut the field short.
August
The middle of August found me in Chicagoland for a week. It was planned more than a year ago, well before the idea to move. I shared some of my quilts with the Pride of the Prairie Quilt Guild of Plainfield, IL and the ‘Threadpainting’ process that I use the following day. Sorry, I didn’t take any pictures… because I never remember to get the camera out. I try to focus (pun intended) on assisting and coaching others through the “Threadpainting” process. Once again, times flies!
I do have one picture. A wonderful little pincushion, with a matching teeny tiny 9 Patch Quilt (which is signed and dated by the maker) Cheryl Parker, was a gift. Cheryl also created a fabulous blog post about the Threadpainting class, and you can see it here. This little pincushion will join the other treasures gifted by friends and family, in the Creative Space. However, setting up the Creative Space up is a very slow process. There is one certainty, many things need to be done… at the same time, and I am having difficulty prioritizing. Again, time flies!
Next week
I hope I have filled you in… a bit… and forgive me for the lapses in posting. …. I am here even if I am quiet, (which anyone that knows me will say is a feat that does not happen often {enough, maybe?}).
More Later!!! Beth
nice to see what you work on and what you are about – here from Benita’s blog
Awesome and thanks for the comment and stopping by. There is always more going on than I have time to get done… the list never ever seems to get shorter. Or maybe my brain needs to take a rest???
The unpacking takes longer than the packing. I bought a new roll top desk for our office, and since it is almost twice as large as the old desk, we had to move everything out of the office and re-arrange everything. It only took one evening to pack and move everything out, but I’m still going thru stuff a week later. At least it will be organized in here now.
I always find there is something(s) that are impossible to put away in a sensible or convenient location that it fits in!!! Generally not for me. Unpacking is about as quick as the packing, but we are getting ready for some space changes… construction/remodeling… and a bit more. Maybe by Christmas!!! Beth
