Easter

Easter this year was not perfect or ideal.  We did church online, we didn’t invite anyone over, we had meltdowns.  I didn’t make bread or pie because of other priorities and fits.  

But we really do have so many things to be thankful for and need to keep be pointed back to god in this time.  He will ease our fears and anxiety. I must say it’s been helpful for me to do a short devotional before prayer time in the morning and then at bed most nights.

24 Cross Stitch 100daysofkatiesxstitch

I ended up doing 100 days of cross stitch.  So far I have made this little portrait of my family - I plan to add a border but I am not sure what I want to be so I left it.

I started a triangle cross-stitch but I don’t love it.  I think I might change it up later but I also put it aside for now.  

Now I am working on this Bee and Flower cross stitch.  I am planning to add another bee and maybe some fun butterflies too.  I don’t have any patterns I am just kind of loosely getting inspiration from other cross stitch and nature.  

I look forward to continuing this project.  I have wanted to cross stitch for a while but never bought any cloth so this has been a fun 10-15 minutes of craftiness in a time that seems to be extra busy and crazy.

100 Day Projects

Tomorrow I plan to start the 100 day project.  This is my 5th time doing it I think.  

2016 I did drawings (i think i did 18) 

2017 I did 100 Yeses.  

2018 I did 100 Notes from Katie 

2019 I did tried to do 100 family selfies (this was my favorite one).  

I have NEVER finished in any of the years.  Although I usually get to about 80. 

This year I have been wrestling with what I want to do.  I am trying to decide between something sewing and art journaling.  I think I am going to land on embroidery which may or may not also be in my art journal.  Although I haven’t officially determined the details.  I also may jump ship and get creative with video instead.  

46 - Make doughnuts

Since we aren’t going anywhere or seeing friends.  I have been baking and cooking things.  This past weekend I made biscuit doughnuts with a glaze and sprinkles, oh the holes i did cinnamon and sugar.  

They were enjoyed.  I prefer a cake doughnut but I didn’t want to sift a bunch of flour.
