September was a wasteland for me stitching-wise, I finally got to the point where I can deal with everything around my dad and Auntie dying last year. I've been emptying out one storage unit, organizing another one, shredding papers and digitizing what must be a million photos, slides, and negatives; I almost have to laugh at how often I open a box and it's just random old mail and photographs. I cry every day but at least I feel like I'm getting somewhere - I'm hoping to have an empty house and no storage unit by the end of the year.
I check everyone's blogs when I want to cheer up and see the cute things you all make and the fun places you've been and your beautiful families - thank you so much, faithful blog buddies, for sharing your lives. you have no idea what a blessing you have are, even if no one is commenting that doesn't mean you aren't appreciated!
Some throwback finishes from past Septembers - it's funny how often I have Easter finishes in September, haha, but I did find some fall ones:

I’m sorry to hear about the load you are carrying. I can’t imagine how difficult this is. Hang in there!
Sometimes we all wonder if our blog visitors are "real" people or just AI algorithms of some sort. I am glad you fins some escape from and solace in the crafting blogs, I know at times that is as much as we are able when life gives us challenges emotional or physical. I hope that your journey with grief will let you arrive at a better place soon.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It must be hard going through all those boxes of memories. It will get better, just take it one day at a time, or moment to moment. I love your Halloween stitching, they are wicked. Take care
