I'm so far behind reading posts here, so I'll simply send hugs to everyone. My husband and I have been so busy with all of our packing projects, and the business end of our upcoming move/property buy is intensifying. Hubby does all of the business stuff, for obvious reasons, but I'm a good strategist for the other things I have some control over.

Early this afternoon, I took a productive break and did some hand sewing projects. I find it very relaxing and enjoyable, and I've grown acceptably well at it over the years. A good mindfulness activity. I also hate to throw away pieces of clothing that can be "saved". I'm frugal, so this makes me happy. Plus, both Hubby and I have our favorite pieces of clothing and want them to last. I just got done sewing denim patches on one of my pairs of jeans. Also reinforced a deteriorating seam on a blouse and sewed on some buttons.
