And since pictureless posts are slightly boring, here's a shot of me with Rachel and my dad last Thanksgiving. He rarely smiles for pictures and I think he looks so charming here.

Update
Howdy! So, it's been over a month since I last posted anything because I have had a TON of wadders in a row. Like 5 or so, including a knitting wadder (those are the worst!) I then decided to make a TNT pattern just to get some confidence back and while that has been finished for over 2 weeks, I haven't seemed able to get a picture of me in it. When the time changes next weekend I will be overjoyed to have some evening hours with my photographer! And all this week I've been spending my spare time at a hospital because my 81 year old father has a severe case of pneumonia/low blood pressure and I had to take him to the ER on Sunday. (They expect him to make a full recovery.) Whew! I have been looking forlornly at my half completed dress and longing to spend some time on it but just don't have any at the moment.

Best wishes for your Dad.
ReplyDeleteI can't take up knitting, because the possibility of a wadder after all that hard work would be too heart-breaking.
You all look great together, and I hope your father is feeling better soon. Take care.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!!
ReplyDeleteI am an ER nurse and glad you recognized the signs to get him in!
Take care ,

All the best for your Dad, I hope life is back to normal soon.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely photo. My mom had pneumonia a couple years ago and ended up the hospital too; hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI agree, knitting misfires are the worst. I just frogged two projects, both of which were about 80% done.
All the best to your dad - and I hope your sewing and knitting luck has turned.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you Dad for a speedy recovery. Give yourself a break. The wadders can wait!
ReplyDeleteI had missed you, I just hoped it was nothing serious. Take care, family first. Lovely picture as well, a real keeper.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that your father is on the mend. Hope he continues to feel better.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back, but sorry about the wadders. I've had that happen too. And it is usually just after a total success. Go figure. But knitting wadders have to be the total pits. So much time wasted.
Hope your dad has a speedy recovery and he certainly does not look 81 in the picture. I hope the wadders are a thing of the past for you.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for you dad.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful picture. I hope your Dad gets well soon. I have had a knitting wadder before. I had totally completed each piece and the unrepariable mistake happened as I was trying to sew it together. It was so disappointing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely picture. I can see where you get your good looks. Glad he's doing better. Wadders are part of sewing just like when we buy clothes how many really become staples in our wardrobe. Hope your next project is a winner.
ReplyDeleteLovely pic. I love that cardigan you have on, my eyes zoomed in on it lol. All the best for your dad.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture! I hope your dad has a speedy and complete recovery!
ReplyDeleteHope your dad gets well soon!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo! I like that you are all reaching out and enfolding each other into the middle of the shot. Here's a quick prayer for his recovery, and that you'll get back into a successful sewing "groove."
ReplyDeleteLove the photo - I can see the resemblance, esp around the eyes. So glad that he will make a full recovery!
ReplyDeleteI must say that I dread the sewing wadder far more than the knitterly one because (provided there's no steeking) knit wadders can be ripped back to perfectly reusable yarn! Not so with fabric, once it's cut up, it's gone, gone, gone!
Ah, your Dad looks like a nice man (I can see the family likeness between you).
ReplyDeleteI wish him all the best for a speedy recovery.
And here's wishing you great sewing mojo!
Get well soon to your dad! Hope he makes a fast recovery.
ReplyDeleteI hate knitting wadders too back when I used to knit. Knitting seems to take forever and to spend that long and not have something wearable is heartbreaking.
I've also missed reading your blog. Too bad about the wadders but I know you have such high caliber sewing skills that nothing less than perfect will work for you.
ReplyDeleteHope your Dad mends quickly so you can enjoy each other. Time with family is so precious!
Best wishes to your dad for a quick recovery.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the time change either--it won't be dark when I leave work!
Glad your dad is going to be ok and so will your next project!
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious picture! You all look great! Hope you dad is back to feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteThat whole hospital thing is emotionally exhausting. Take care of yourself and your family and we will all wait patiently for your fabulous sewing!
ReplyDelete¡¡¡Beautiful Picture¡¡¡ Wonderful everyone¡¡¡ I wish your father will recovery soon.

She's so, so cute! Love all the hair! I passed along the Versatile Blogger award, if you want to play along. :-)
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking of writing a post on wearing make-up while sewing and I always think of you when that thought pops into my head.
ReplyDeleteIn any case. I was thinking about you.
Prayers,
Kathy
Prayers and good wishes to your father for a speedy recovery. We lost our step-grandpa (98) last weekend and it is very hard on my 72 year old step-father. He's running a fever and just so sad. Parents are so precious.
ReplyDeleteAdorable photo! I love it! Really!
ReplyDeleteThoughts and prayers are out to you!
Awww, sorry to hear about your dad, but glad to read he is on the mend. The picture is adorable. I know what you mean about trying to get into a sewing groove. It seems I am struggling a bit myself, with inspiration. I did take advantage of Gorgeous Fabrics sale, so I think this will help. Take care, and looking forward to seeing your new project.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to your dad.
ReplyDeletegreat fitted skirt and super nice color.
ReplyDeleteI love that photo. He's so handsome. :) I hope he's feeling better and on the road to recovery now. I have been battling a "walking" pneumonia since the week after Christmas and it is rotten. Make sure he takes it easy for a while!
