Goodness what a hectic month September has been! First a friend and her DH decided to come for a visit, since it's been two years since we've seen anyone (thank you Covid!). We are all double-vaccinated, so was nice to get together with friends even if it was just for a few days.

But, again thanx to Covid, we had a timeshare credit (from a cancelled trip to NB), which we had to use up. So Bill and I stole away for a few days, and had some relaxation in a cottage on the St. Lawrence River. It was lovely, no email, no work, just reading and stitching and walking!

HOWEVER, the NEXT week my brother and his wife came to visit. Well, they mainly wanted to visit our parents (who they hadn't seen for several years, since they live out west), but they stayed with us. FYI, my parents live next door. As with the others, it was lovely to see them - and it has been even longer since he and I saw each other, as my parents were able to go out west before Covid struck.

But all these people, after no people for so long, was a little overwhelming, and I sort of had a big sigh of relief when it was just us again!

So, what did I get stitched in the middle of all that chaos? I was still working away on my GNOME GREETING CARDS, which I am pleased to say are going to the distributor this month, so they'll be on my website next month... and I worked up some new classes for the EMBROIDERY ASSOCIATION OF CANADA SEMINAR 2023, including a new Hardanger box with dragonflies on the top - yummy!

Keep safe until next month...
