March 2024 WIPocalypse Check-In

Hi everyone!

Happy Easter if you are among the faith celebrating today! Happy weekend if you are enjoying a normal end-of-March Sunday. I hope 2024 is treating you well so far.

It’s a sunny day here in Rhode Island after what feels like tons of rain. While my family doesn’t celebrate Easter as a religious holiday, we do celebrate it as a gathering with family to celebrate life and renewal and spring. We gathered yesterday and had a very nice afternoon of love and laughter. Today is more of a catch-up chores sort of day, but I’m hoping we can spend some time outside to relax later once things get done.

I’ve hit a bit of a wall with my stitching lately and haven’t picked up a needle in weeks (sigh). But rather than force it, I’m just embracing the break and hoping that my stitching mojo comes back soon. I tend to hit some sort of a wall in the spring every year due to work chaos. It’s just my busy season, and I’m just often a little too tired to concentrate at the end of the day. But as the days get warmer and I can enjoy some extra time outside, I’m hoping I can get back to stitching… now on my patio to get some fresh air.

I hope you have a wonderful April with your projects!

Best,
Melissa
