I'm Back...

Like a number of other bloggers, I left the world of blogging.  After a 2 year break, I have decided to return. I am not sure how frequently I will update but I will make an appearance now and then. I wish more bloggers would return and that exchange groups would start up again. I was pleasantly surprised to see that some of you are still around. It was fun visiting your blogs to see what you have been up to. 

So much has happened since I last posted. Here is a quick rundown: 

September 2017
Vacationed in Ireland

November 4, 2017

Our youngest son got married in Georgia. 
We now have another wonderful DIL.

February 2018
Our oldest son/DIL had their 1st child.
Making me a Grandmother (móraí) to this precious little girl.


I made her these two quilts 


April 2018
We sold our Vermont house...

And moved to Georgia (move #10).
We are having a house built and will be living 
about 30 minutes from our son/DIL (that makes me VERY happy).

August 2018
 
Spent a week in Wisconsin visiting this little gem.
Like her móraí, she likes French Macarons...

And a Berry Smoothie

All of our belongings are stored in Vermont, including 95% of my crafting, so I have not been doing much stitching. What I have completed I will share in my next post. 

Until next time...

It was so good to see a new post from you, Marie!! And what a two years it's been for you! Lots of changes, but all of them wonderful... Congratulations on becoming a grandma to that little cutie! I'm still waiting (not so patiently!), but my oldest got married last October so I'm inching forward... Hope you are very happy in your lovely new Georgia home! And welcome back to blogging!

It's so nice to have bloggers come back. I get so much inspiration from these posts. I hope more will return. I had thought about starting a blog, but it looked as if so many were leaving. Looking forward to your posts.

Julie said...

Welcome back, lots of happy times celebrated during your absence

Sherry said...

Welcome back! I took a leave of absence as well but missed my blog and other bloggers. I agree with you that it seems that a lot of the bloggers have stopped. I wish they would come back! It looks like you have stayed busy though. Keep on blogging!

I hope you'll be back again soon, would love to see more cute baby pictures :)
(and some stitching if you have some to show, but mostly baby pictures!)

Great Article. It's very useful

Marie, I do hope that you are still receiving comments. I have found a photo on the net of one of your Christmas ornaments. You posted it way back in 2013 and it was a gift for Lynn. The title of the piece was Shepherd's Bush, Christmas in X stitch - Girl. I was wondering if you could tell me if this was a chart in itself, or if you adapted it from a larger design. Hope to hear from you. Sandra

Great post. Articles that have meaningful and insightful comments are more enjoyable, at least to me. It’s interesting to read what other people thought and how it relates to them or their clients, as their perspective could possibly help you in the future.

There's always something great to watch with Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. Choose from popular movies and full seasons of hit TV shows. Enjoy a wide variety of choices, including Action & Adventure, Comedy, Kids & Family, Documentaries, and more. Plus, there are never any commercials.

While seeing generally, if you are looking for more content and entertainment, you can go for Hotstar. If you are always exploring something new to watch, you can go for Netflix. If you want to have the common ground between this two, you can opt for amazon prime.
