I'm back!

Well here I am...I'm still alive. I've just been really busy lately.
These last three weeks have just been a whirlwind.  So much has happened and it's all been an emotional roller coaster ride for me personally.  This has by far been the hardest move for me.  My husband and I have moved several times in our 23 years of marriage but this one has been the hardest.  I'm not sure I can explain why or even put it into words, all I know is that I'm emotionally drained and physically exhausted.

I have not crocheted anything since the move.  I'm just not in the mood.  I keep thinking I better get busy working on something but I just haven't had the energy. So instead I'll show you something someone else made. These potholders were gifted to me by an elderly lady at our church.


 She has a whole bag full of them which she keeps in her car and gives them out to all the new people. Such a sweet lady.  She gave me four of them.

Hubby has been preaching once a week since we've been here. He loves his new job. Although I think he works harder now than he did at his last secular job.  
There is always so much to do around the church. It's truly a labor of love and he enjoys it.
I have so much catching up to do. I feel like I've been gone for ages. I just know once I start visiting your blogs I will be inspired to pick up my yarn and start creating again. I've missed you all so much and I can't wait to get around and see what you've been up to.

  1. I am sorry that the move has been so hard for you, I truly hope that things will settle in time and that you will feel loved and at home again in your house, life and the new church. The lady that makes the potholders sounds lovely, such a simple thing to do and to give to people but that sort of things makes newcomers feel so welcome and cared about. I imagine that every time you use one of the potholders you will think of her and smile. Give yourself some time and it will all fall into place I hope. Lovely to hear from you again. xx

  4. We just listed our house and have the first showing later today. Oh my. Talk about stressed out. On top of that I am having surgery. We haven't moved for 26 years. I will be excited to hear more about your move.

  7. I know how hard moving can be. Please take time for yourself to rest and recuperate. It's such hard work. I hope you're staying cool, NM is in its hottest time right now.

  8. Hello Beca, it's so lovely to hear from you and to know you have the move behind you; I'm sorry it's taken so much out of you but I hope you will settle soon and feel stronger and rested - moving home is right up top of the list for stress inducement! Wishing you and Hubby peace and contentment in your new 'place'. The lady who gifted you the potholders is obviously a lovely person. xoJoy

  9. Hi Beca, I'm so glad that you are back and welcome I missed you! Don't worry about the blogging and crocheting! Moving is very hard and you can gradually get back to everything when you are all settled in. I wish you and your family a lot of happiness in your new home. Take care and enjoy the weekend.

  15. welcome back :) moving is hard and draining and it can also be exciting I hope that it gets better. I know I don't feel like knitting as much when I am feeling emotionally drained. I wish you and your husband happiness in your new home and hope he enjoys his new job :)
