Two of Many

one of the many pieces I've been working on lately

there will be patchwork flags

stitched along one side

will hang horizontally...

sewing room angel (invisible wings)

inspired by antique cookie cutters

have a bunch drawn up...

most with more than one angel

*****

work has been very stressful lately

financial troubles 

leading to layoffs and cut hours for some

working short all the time for everyone else

learning a new normal 

for now

I still have a job and all my hours

trying not to worry

about how long it will last...

I work for a non profit hospital 

it's one of the last independently owned 

 

Fun Antique Rugs

I always enjoy the rug shows

Saundra 

 shares on her blog 

hoping you'll enjoy mine

with a few fun rugs...

I think these squirrels are having a discussion

about the nuts

in the neighborhood

 

 off course

I would change this to a cat

with birds...

 the possibilities...

have always wanted to reproduce this one

hearts and all

empty the worm baskets!

this looks like 

something you'd see under a microscope

I can only dream

of hooking something so wonderful...

***** 

Mom and I had a pretty good night last night

slept more than we have in days...

about 5 am she started with the 

"get me out of here"

in her mad Gladys voice...

she went half an hour

the overnight staff has been wonderful!

if all her test results come back good

she's going home 

to the facility today

she is looking and feeling so much better

we had a wonderful Dr from the hospital in charge of her care

she took her time talking to us

(in the hall)

and was very patient and kind with Mom

we spoke to her about the future

what would she do if this was her Mom

we liked her answers...

wishing you a wonderful day
