I call what I’ve been working on here and there mindless crafts. Things that I don’t have to count stitches etc.
My daughter did come home for hospice care to my house on May 5th. I tried really hard to take care of her. It was just too much mentally and physically for me. She was moved here to the hospice house May 8th. She was able to make it to her grandson’s 1st birthday party in the park on the 6th. Being immobile the guys picked her up to place her in the wheelchair and my van to get there and back home. It took a lot out of her, but made her smile.
I brought my laptop to the hospice today.
I had been taking my cross stitch to sewing group and getting a little bit done on it. I’ve now been working on it just a bit each day here at the hospice. I still have a very long way to go before it’s done.
I used what I had left of scrubbie yarn and made 6 scrubbies.
I have Sunday down as my day to work on my diamond art. Can you tell yet what the picture is? If not, I’m sure it will be clear the next time I share it.
These plastic canvas squares will soon be jingle bell blocks.
I actually had packed for Kansas City before Easter. One bag with all my clothes, another bag with jigsaw puzzles and diamond art, and 3 project boxes. I have decided that I think I will still just work on the crafts from those project boxes for the 3 months anyway. So far I’ve only gotten into the one with the crochet.
I still don’t want to make a to-do list as I don’t know what each day will bring.
I would like to say though, we are doing a fund raiser for final expenses as Elizabeth has no life insurance. If you feel so inclined, please share the link: Angelinks fundraiser to prepare for final arrangments.

My prayers for you and your family. I can’t imagine how you are getting through each day. I’m thankful that you have your crafts for some comfort. Thanks for sharing them on Wednesday Wait Loss.
Your projects are lovely. I look forward to following your progress on them.
I got a shiver reading your words. My heart goes out to you during this unbelievably horrible time. Yes, thankful for stitching.
OH Marsha, I’m just so sorry to hear your sad news about your daughter. I know it must be so hard on you, but Hospice is one of the best. I used to be a volunteer for 10 years. I will be sure to send some money to help with final expenses. I will keep you all in my prayers.
Very nice to hear from you Nora!
Aww Marsha, it is too much to ask a loved one to do hospice work, especially a mother. I can’t imagine what you are going through, but I pray for you and her. Your cross stitch is lovely. Take care.
Marsha I have been thinking of you all week and saying a prayer for your family. I’m so sorry to read this post and can not imagine the pain you are experiencing. It’s a good thing to keep your handwork close to give you something to do.
