I'm not sure how anyone manages to be bored during the Pandemic, LOL, as I seem to be running around like crazy, trying to get a million things done! 

May has been no exception... as the weather grows nicer, my DH and I are eager to get the big screened room on our deck open. 

Having to install a new canvas roof was a challenge, but with my 86-year-old dad's help we managed to get it on... now the lovely wooden screen door needs some repair work - guess we shouldn't have left it on for the winter... lesson learned, LOL. 

Bill (my DH) has also replaced a few screens that he managed to damage using the space as a workshop over the winter (!), and the furniture is back in place.  We've even started eating most meals out there - when the weather cooperates!  My only concern is that the fabric on the couch and chair cushions is fading from all the sun that room gets, so I may have to re-cover them (sigh), add that to the list... 

Just about a whole week was taken up this month with publicity photos, videos and brochure write-ups for EAC SEMINAR 2022!  I've been asked to teach both a 2-day and a 1-day class, and they needed everything, like yesterday, LOL.  The 1-day class was something I had to come up with at the last minute, as they had a teacher drop out...

However,  ANPT kindly allowed me to steal the GROWTH TREE project I created for them, so I'm doing a class called MOVING UP, where we'll look at working with overdyed and varigated threads (and what's the difference); and we'll also look at stepping up from Aida to evenweaves or linens (and what's the difference, LOL).  Should be fun! 

Of course I'm still working away on other designs... GNOMES seem to be a big theme with me this year (GBG), and I'm working on a set of GNOME GREETING CARDS, which are just a hoot - here's a peek at a bit of the large EASTER card (there will be designs for a large or small card for each occasion covered): 

Keep well until next month, when I'll have more to share about future designs!
