Time Marches On

A song from "back in the day"  Time Marches On by Tracy Lawrence

While it still feels like Groundhog Day (the same day-after-day-after-day-after-day)
in reality, time is marching on.





When all this "shelter-at-home" started I thought "I can do this! Think of of that UFO list and that long list of to do's and cleaning projects!"  But, I'll admit, it is wearing thin.  All I really want to do is sit around in my jammies and eat Oreos.

And, I'm one of the lucky ones!  I have a job that keeps the day interesting...mostly ... albeit I do work from home.  And, if I really need to, I can go out and take a walk or go to the grocery store.
Not everyone is as fortunate.







Had a nice telephone chat with one of the Needlers yesterday, Miss Wanda. You'll remember, we Needlers went to have dinner with her back in February (?) early March (?) ... was that THIS year ? .... can't remember exactly... 

Her son took her to her doctor appointment yesterday.... now the assisted care facility where she lives says she must be in isolation for a week in her little apartment.  Granted they were pretty much isolated already, but she feels even more isolated now.

So I have decided she needs a Care Package.  I won't be able to actually see her, but I can leave her this gift.


I put out a call to the other Needlers.  Let's put our heads together and see what we can come up with.

Here is a pattern we decided to include.
Something to give her a chuckle and keep her hands busy,
her mind occupied and memorialize the year, the year of the T.P.
















Miss Nancy and Miss Kate in the studio ... obeying the rules ...
Picking, pressing, cutting and labeling all the fabric pieces to include,
A Kit.




















 Inside the box:  Something to read, some things to eat, hard-to-find paper goods
(nothing says "love" like a roll of T.P) and some notes.

And the box is packed and ready to be delivered.














Some of us may not be able to do much in these strange times,
but we do what we can.

We Love You, Miss Wanda.
