Still Hooking Away


chairpad four
there is a definite dent in the worm stash now
blues are getting low in the shades I need

the red goes on and on


this face
he cannot believe I stopped brushing him

 *****
I've been rounding up wool
making stacks and bundles 
doodling up some designs on linen

planning to get the patterns on etsy next week
the wool on Facebook:
The Wool Pantry Rug hooking and Fiber Selling Group 

shooting for Wednesday and Thursday

if I ever find those Halloween chalkware pieces
I'll list those too

darn work gets in the way of everything
 *****

today I'm off but will spend most of my time with Mom
it's bingo day!

they win a quarter per game
you'd think it was high stakes the way they carry on
today it's a quarter and a prize
one of the local home health care organizations
brings in a big basket of prizes to pick from...
candy, word game books, lotion, decorations
it's a lot of fun for the residents...

I usually buy packs of gum to pass out to my "friends"
they've seen me every day for nearly 3 years now
I make sure to learn everyone's name
they know mine too

they know they can ask me for help anytime
mom doesn't mind sharing me
(most days)

Hope you can be a little ray of sunshine in your world today
so many people are aching for 
a friendly face
something I see daily in the ER

I love this pattern and your colors, Kelley!! I just love stars! Bingo is fun and it's great they play for real money...even if it's only a quarter! Have fun and enjoy your day with your mom and your friends!

Funny, because when I saw a new one started figured it must be chair pad number 7 or so. Geez, hope that I'm quick on the trigger when you post your sale items. Be sure to provide a link for us on your blog.

Looking forward to your destashing and patterns in your Etsy shop.
I hope mom had a good day.
Hugs :)

I know that feeling, I need to clean out my piles and make some money so I can redecorate the house, time to get moving on a cleanup and redo. Need to think of a design and fabrics for a table cloth to go with the mats, really like the blue shades with the mix of colors, will brighten up that area. I hope I can get myself on an even keel this year and maybe do some visiting at the homes here, so many who have no visitors.
