No, I haven't given up blogging...and I am ok. It's just that life has been hectic and most days, I feel like I am juggling more balls than I can handle. It's exhausting. Work, managing two households, chores, errands, being social and dating. There just has not been any time for blogging...or stitching.
Mind you, I shouldn't whine too much. The summer has been lots of fun. I've gotten lots of sun and have had a wonderful time in general.
Some people have guessed that I met someone and it's true. Mind you, I am not ready to label it as anything because, even as the beau has said, I am hesitant and jaded and I can't shake that. However, it's been more than wonderful to have someone to talk to, listen to old jazz and swing music with, explore the city with and be close to. And it's nice to be surprised with pretty things like these once in a while.
I've forgotten how time consuming dating is though. So with managing my stuff and my parents many crisis' and issues, I have very little solo time. I've been managing about 100 stitches a week. Not nearly enough...I am going slightly insane and am trying to figure out how to build a routine to have time for stitching plus the gym.
I wish I could sit here and type away but I have a pile of mail staring me in the face. How this mail multiplies, I have no idea but someone has to go through it!
I hope to be able to blog more often and stitch more often and visit with you all more in the very near future.
Much love and hugs
Until next time...

It's lovely to see you back blogging and it's good to be busy in a nice way. You'll get there with the routine, things change and you find ways of adjusting to suit.
OMG! THank god I though you feel into the black hole Hehe J/K
I have to say that I am happy for you. YAY!! Hopefully soon we can plan a girls day in the city or down here?
Don't worry you will work out a great schedule where you can fit stitching back into your life.
Take care and talk soon :)
It's a shame that you don't have more stitching time, but who can be sad when it seems to be mostly good things that are keeping you from it :-)
How fabulous to hear from you, Valerie! Really nice to know you've been enjoying time with someone too - and he brings you flowers! That's a plus!
I've always noticed everyone blogs a little less in the summer and during holidays anyway.
Your stitching looks awesome! Isn't it a relief when a border meets where it is supposed to? Keep stitching?..you look about half way to "meet up" time.
Hey, I'm so pleased for you! That's a mightily pretty bunch of rose :-) The stitching looks lovely too.
hello deary i am so happy for you.

Welcome back, Valerie. I'm so happy for you. Gorgeous roses! And pretty stitching. Hope everything continues to go as well as it has.

Your plate was full before, so it makes sense that blogging had to take a back seat for awhile. But I'm oh, so happy for you, having someone to share things with - and he send flowers! Keep us posted, as best you can, please.
