Off the Track

Sometimes life just gets in the way, doesn't it?

The Chanel jacket pattern arrived the day after my last post, but my mojo for the jacket was lacking. 

Word came that the wife of a close cousin was seriously ill.  My Sis and I made some trips (about 80 miles one way) to see her and be with him.  I'm sorry to say that she passed away about a week ago.  They were college sweethearts together over 40 years.  She was definitely part of our family. 

At the memorial service, I was in the process of coming down with a viral bug that has been going around here.  It lasts about two weeks, and I'm till trying to shake it.  I'm trying to do what HAS TO BE DONE and vegging on the couch the rest of the time.

So,  it may be the first of the year before I resurface in the sewing room.  In the meantime, I'm knitting a bit on a top down sweater (while on the couch).
