Monday, May 11th Update: Everything is going well. Mom is sleeping a lot, which is good for her healing. She's eating well, and her pain is manageable. She sends her thanks and best wishes. __________________ Mom, is doing well. The doctor said everything went great and that she should get some immediate pain relief and with time, a little more mobility. Won't know how much until things have had time to heal and she has had time to rebuild her strength. She truly appreciates your continued care and support and hopes to be back with you soon. Knowing mom, it won't be too long.

While your hands are busy stitching, piecing, hemming, or wondering why the bobbin is acting possessed… your ears can be off on an adventure. If you enjoy having something cozy and fun to listen to while you sew, come visit my audiobook channel—stories to keep you company, make the time fly, and possibly help you survive seam ripping with grace. Because every good sewing session deserves a good story.

I’ll be popping in less over the next six weeks as I prepare for my lower back surgery in early May and then take the time needed to recover well afterward. I’m also working hard to get several new recordings uploaded to my new YouTube audio reading channel before surgery, so my days are a little fuller than usual right now. Don’t worry—I’m not disappearing, just stepping back a little for a season. Please keep the community active, warm, and encouraging while I’m quieter here. Support each other, share your projects, celebrate progress, and keep the good spirit going during the days I’m absent. Don't forget to check out what's available in the Classroom. There is no shortage of projects to get involved in, so stay creative.
