<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">other things are difficult.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> I can't just go see my Mom, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">as she is in a nursing home. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And I worry about her</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">every day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Both of my girls are working, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">for which I am thankful, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">but a Mom worries.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This brings so much added stress to our lives~ </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> we need to remember, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">we are in it together.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I know that others have harder struggles</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">mine look minute in comparison.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As our restrictions started,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">my sweet girl </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">became ill.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">At first it was thought </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">she was diabetic,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">but we quickly realized that it was something more serious.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Just after her 12th Birthday,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">we had to set her free</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and send her to the beyond~</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">where I know she is with </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">others and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">waiting for us.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> She has been my companion,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">ever beside</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> as I worked each day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Molly was a rescue from Peurto Rico.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">She adored fruit and vegetables.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Tim worked the gardens</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> so that she could enjoy strawberries,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> blackberries and grape tomatoes</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> at her will,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> and within her reach.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Murphy, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">her companion,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">is feeling the deep void as well.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We carry grief with us,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">but know there are others</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">with a heavier burden as well.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Self care is important.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As the grass greens up </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and leaves return to the trees,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">we are enjoying our little piece of the world;</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> our back yard.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Simple pleasures,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> such as enjoying the birdsong,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">or watching the squirrels play,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">bring us balance.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">When I need to ground myself, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">the mountains always </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">soothe my soul.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It is reflected in my Adirondack friends.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">we did take a little drive</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">one dreary Friday...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">but that is for next time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Stay well and safe.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Seek balance when it is hard</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and simply connect with the Earth.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Just standing barefoot </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">on the good Earth</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Welcome to </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The Cottage On Curry Road~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Where our home,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">is </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">my studio.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">No kidding,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">almost every room</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> has a place I can work in...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It's a small Cape style home,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">that has a cottage feel to it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My family was a military family.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We moved often.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Wherever we were stationed,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">there was always </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">clay, paint, pencil, and paper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My father was a soldier and an artist as well...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">but there was never a formal studio,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">especially on-base housing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">However,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">the kitchen table </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">served all of our needs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Everything was mobile,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">so that it could be moved on and off</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">quickly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Eating and creativity</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">danced in make-do fashion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">....and so, I give you my sewing station.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I absolutely love </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">my dollhouse shelf!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">When I was asked to do Bewitching Peddlers,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I knew just what I wanted.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am blessed to have wonderful friends</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">with their own magic</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and together,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> my vision came alive.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Angie's husband, Jake made this!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">After the first show, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I came across the perfect size shingles,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and our dear friend,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pete worked his magic as well.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Because storage is an issue</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">in a small home,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">it was put to work.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It sits atop</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">an old buffet</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">given to me from my Sister In Law</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The buffet</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">is part of my pattern station</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">( that is a whole other thing, for another day, perhaps.)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am thankful in all of this,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">to have such a wonderful husband.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">He may not understand all of this,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">but he has adapted well</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">How are you doing friends?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Are you taking care of yourself, in all of this?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Self-care is so important,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and now,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">even more so.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Make that cup of tea...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Step out back for some fresh air,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">or open a window.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We can smell spring!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Spring is hope!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The promise of life renewed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I thought long and hard</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">about picking my blog back up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">When reading Blogs, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">you can </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">look into someone's world </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and their thoughts</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">on a deeper level.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I have always loved being in the car</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">when it is evening;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">you can see inside someone's home,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> for that split second.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Are they are home from a long day of work, perhaps?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The tv may be on, so perhaps they are catching up</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">on the news as supper cooks?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">or just enjoying a show after dinner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">A bedroom light upstairs...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">perhaps that would be someone young, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">working away on homework.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Snippets in a blink.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Lives we can imagine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">There is a feeling of comfort in that;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">A soft place to land...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Our home is different</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">the past few weeks</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and I'm sure yours is </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">to a similar extent as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We have stay at home orders </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">in Upstate NY.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The picture above</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">was my inspiration last Spring,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">just before we left for Salem.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Now, it's time to stitch some up,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">for Bewitching Peddlers in the Fall.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Creating has always been my self-care.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">a place to immerse myself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Whatever gives you peace and comfort,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">make sure you do some of that!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">a favorite recipe, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and will share how I do it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I use a little more cinnamon </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">and less salt. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I just sprinkle it on each side.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I don't add the onion...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and for the sauce,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">2 cans of Contadina</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">sauce with Italian herbs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Easy, right?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We are doing our best to flatten the curve.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Our world is strange now and scary.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I can't see my girls </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">or my Mom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I do my best to talk to them, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">through their anxieties</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">about everything.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">New York State</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">has been declared a disaster.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Starting tomorrow,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">we </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">will be like Italy </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">in our measures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Tim and I started about 10 days ago.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We are older, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and I have lung issues.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">BUT....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">There is much we can do!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Come on, my stitching friends,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">There are MANY masks needed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Not just our state,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">but perhaps yours as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Maybe not today,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">but certainly</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">in the days to come.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Both of my daughters</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">wear masks every day, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">so I approached this</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">from a Mom point of view.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">.....also, as a doll maker,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I don't have elastic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">That is hard to find as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">My thread may not match~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am using up scraps</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and fabric </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">that no longer serves my art.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The insides are lined </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">with muslin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Cotton fabric is </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">perfect,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and these masks fit around your face</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> quite well.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I can't believe it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> I</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">have been gone</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">from here,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">for a year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It was a tough one, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">my friends.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">That is the truth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I wanted to hop on, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">many times and write</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">....but I just couldn't.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Now...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As I am making my way back,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">the world is struggling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">What can I do?...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Perhaps, this can be a soft place to land.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It is my hope that blogs such as mine,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">will be dusted off and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">become a safe haven,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">at least for a bit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Today, I am sharing </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">a pattern for you to snag</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">on here and print.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">If you know someone that doesn't</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">have a printer,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">please copy one for them</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> and mail them a gift.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> if you want it bigger or smaller...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">go at it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Play around with the design,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">it is merely a guide,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> to let your creativity shine.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">To say that I got involved in her dress,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">is an understatement.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had this pictured in my head for years now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I attack my sewing simply</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with an elegance to it...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and this was anything but simple.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was able to get it,</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">challenge myself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It took some time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">....and it was </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I was a young girl,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">my Daddy told me, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I could do anything </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that I set my mind to...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>and</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I could be anything </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to be.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As I grew into a young woman</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and entered the workforce,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I realized that it was still a man's</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">world.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I tossed that power suit</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and heels...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and I made my own way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I followed my bliss </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of family, </span><span style="font-size: large;">children,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and my art.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Many a time,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I would hear that I <i class="">couldn't</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">complete my vision</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">in the way or technique </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that I wanted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have always</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">stepped quietly away </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">from those men...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and came back, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">proving them wrong.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tenacity</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">has always served me well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It keeps me challenging</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">myself </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to work out a</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"can't" and make it a "can".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It pushes me</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to grasp</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the process and technique</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">in areas that </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I feel are not my strength</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and own just a bit of it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">....in the end,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">it comes down to problem-solving.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This year,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am using </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">my </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">tenacity</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to work on</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">human faces</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and watercolor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Who says</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">just have to </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">pick one???</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">February crept in</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">under a crisp,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">starry night.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Quiet and without fanfare...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I peeked out </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to say hello, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">in the wee hours,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">before I making my way</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to my slumber.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">our visit from</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">we are halfway between</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Last night, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">was also the release of EHAG '19.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Skelly Girls for Bewitching Peddlers...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but you may see a rare one, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">here or there, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to celebrate something special</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Winter has certainly made its way</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to our area.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This past week has brought</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a big snow,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">bitter cold,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">winds</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">warmer temps</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">flooding rains</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with no place to go,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with all of the snow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We know for certain that </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the Winter still</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">has a way to go,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">so we stay cozy and create our world around us...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">bringing bits of Spring </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">in any way we can.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I imagine that you have been wondering ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where did she go?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's just say </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that life sometimes can </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
throw curveballs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am finally moving forward~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's always hard to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pick out </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what designs to release.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a bit of a formula</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the Collector's mice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
along with the Art Doll sculpts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
don't fit the formula.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked some of the most popular </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in feedback </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a couple of classic primitives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each one has been selected </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from their</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
popularity at shows as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those little witchery boots</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and shoes?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
squeals of delight</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and are often the first ones gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rest </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are favorites</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at Holiday Shows,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for gifts and home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I keep my Primitive Angel Ornaments out year round...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>primitives</i>...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As with all of my patterns,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
no release would be without a good sale...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
especially on </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Black Friday,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Small Business Saturday</div>
