January Catch Up

I started a new little savings account

my cats NEED a catio

like this one 

Melrose taking over the hooking frame

another quilt added to the list

of pieces I must stitch

my latest hooked rug

adding to the February No Spend on supplies

sell 10 items from around the house 

and 

$100 grocery budget

these additions will be a challenge

especially with my empty pantry, fridge and freezer

success!

ended up being too easy

Cats, Houses and Wool

Olivia has gone crazy

for bird and squirrel videos...

Melrose enjoys them too, especially all the chirping

house blocks heading to California

for the wonderful folks

turning them into quilts

for Paradise fire victims

it was fun picking out the fabrics

A chilly day in Ohio

perfect time to dye some wool

one pot on the stove

Barb and Emma Lou's

Taco Bean Red

Cats and Books

just finished hooking this

 the photo makes that green blob

in the left lower corner stand out

to be fixed asap

not sure what's next on the frame

taking inspiration from the journal writers

I drew up this simple page 

to keep track of the first month

of my 2019

No Spend Challenge

with enough supplies and books to span decades

plus all the UFO projects

it's time for me to get serious...

Happy Birthday to my dear Mom in Heaven

she is loved and missed every day

I am blessed with all the quilts

she stitched with love for me

and endless memories to share with my sisters...

A Rug to Keep

cats and books

what more can I say..

Happy New Year's Eve!

it's been raining all day here in Ohio

no complaints from me

it could be snow

I've a few more hours left at work

praying anyone drinking is not driving

I've been away from blogging for a bit

so there is lots to share next year

No Santa?!

a sweet Santa image found on Pinterest

of all the rugs I've hooked

I can't remember hooking a Santa

maybe I should say finishing a Santa 

a few have been begun and reversed hooked

so tomorrow 

there will be a Santa on the frame

have you hooked Santa?

more than one ?
