...and I'm home alone.
Bob, my husband, left for France last Monday evening where he will be there off and on for 3 years while he works on his PhD. Meanwhile I'm still in Connecticut, getting used to my new norm.
My lovely dogs seem to have gotten more obnoxious about waking me up in the morning when Bob is not here, so they have pushed me out of bed earlier this past week than I have gotten up in the past with Bob at home. Which has given me a bit of a routine which makes the day go by quickly-ish.
I've also been busy with meetings, home visits and seeing friends this past week so when Sunday afternoon came and I was free for the rest of the day, I hid in the home office and needle-pointed and watched TV.
Before Bob left, I decided that I needed my own PhD project, and Edwin Longsden Long's painting Babylonian Marriage Market seemed like a great fit. The final product will be about 4 feet by 2 feet (aka HUGE!)
But I haven't been able to start it just yet, first I must get some Christmas stitching done. So this week I've been working on a smaller project for a swap partner on Ravelry which needs to go out in the mail by December 7 and then I'll try and get a Christmas stocking done for my youngest niece before Christmas actually comes. But my fingers are itching to start my PhD project so hopefully I can finish up those stitches quickly.
