It seems crazy that it's been so long, RIP Debbie. I still miss you.
My auntie has been in the emergency room almost exactly every four weeks for a year now. I finally agreed to start hospice and it's a nightmare. I can't believe I'm giving up on her but at this point I think the ER is going to kill her anyway. I've just been lolling around crying for the last couple of months. In some moments of sanity I stitch.

I started this in memory of my dad - it reminds me of all our camping trips and has a kind of retro vibe, it's Bear Walk by Lee Fisher of StitchyFish for Just Cross Stitch magazine:

And I started this map of Ukrainian needlework. I'm a volunteer docent at the House of Ukraine, a cultural museum, and they have a display of Ukrainian needlework, so when I saw this design it jumped out at me. People who know what they're doing can tell you what region of Ukraine the needlework is by the design. It's from Wonderland Ukraine.
This is a better picture of the design:
Kuna has my vibe:
