Seven years ago I made a Welcome quilt for my side door.
This was it before it was quilted. The door faces North, so it wasn't going to get direct sunlight, but it does get a lot of reflected light. I knew it would fade eventually.
This is it now, seven years later. Eventually has arrived. I don't want to make the same quilt again. The pink letters became brittle and broke, so they aren't on the wall on the front porch any longer, and of course, Millie has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. I want to make another quilt for the door, but what?
I made flowers like this for Violette's quilt, back in 2008.
OF COURSE they will be PINK! I'm not quite sure about a final design, so I will keep playing around.
I got my second booster shot over the weekend, and cleared through some of the paper junk in the office and brought it to the town's Shred & Drug Takeback event. Always nice to dispose of that stuff safely (and for free.)
I was cleaning the bathroom and looked over at where I store my earrings. I stopped wearing earrings when I worked from home from April 2020 to the summer of 2021, and haven't resumed wearing them because the holes in my ears closed up. WELL... What am I keeping them for?
I got rid of MOST of them, and kept the ones I really liked. I also cleaned out some of the necklaces. My neighborhood has a big yard sale every year, so I bagged the stuff I will try to sell and set it aside. It's a good motivation to go through my extra stuff.

I passed a lot of my earrings along to my sister and nieces when I retired from the daily office routine. I have two pair I wear once and a while now - mostly due to not going anywhere in particular and wearing masks with ear loops. Good for you for continuing to clean out. And good for you for designing yourself a new door quilt - one updated to reflect who/where you are now.
If you want to wear some I have gotten my holes back open, with effort. It can be done, unless you really have active growth going on keeping them closed.
