It's Been A While

My last post was in 2014 and already it's getting to the end of 2015.

2014 was a pretty traumatic year for me, as my beloved and best buddy dog had a serious medical condition that required lots of time and angst, and then we ended up losing him on the Thanksgiving weekend.

Who knew you could get that attached, and grieve so much. Some say there are "forever" dogs, that are your soul mates, and no other dog can compare to them. You can still love other dogs, but something is always missing. 

I still cry freely, when I think of him. And I don't think the mourning will ever end. 

We have a new doggy. She's sweet and fits in nicely, but though she's filling the physical space, the emotional space is still empty. Well, maybe in time...

But in the meantime, I've been doing more genealogy than knitting or quilting. And my misery left me a little less than social, so I have not posted any of the quilted bags I created and gave away. I'm trying hard to emerge and find my bearings, so I hope soon I will start posting more creations, ideas and helpful hints.
