A Common Problem

Jan Patek
these patterns all have one thing in common
the sit unused in my stash
 this one I like the center design
thought it would make a good hooked rug

 Jan Patek

the larger applique blocks would also be great for rugs
since I've purchased these patterns
(long ago)
my desire to applique has diminished to nada

 
 except for wool applique
this one keeps calling to me...
pillow and quilt
a Cheri Payne pattern
 


another Cheri pattern I've loved from first sight
I could hook or wool applique this one
or do both


 from Cheri, of course!

this one looks like such fun

a drop in the bucket of my pattern stash
I have purchased very few patterns/books this year
too many I want to do now

this time of year I vow to do better next year
more hooking and stitching for Christmas
remind of that in the Spring okay?

***** 
Mom is slowly returning to herself
still mentally changed from Dr messing up her meds
on return from hospital

she has been enjoying the lovely cards
and gifts my dear friends have sent her...
the outfits we daughters have given her

and my sneaking her water that's not thickened
(she has no issues swallowing it, no choking or coughing
the speech therapist has been off sick all week
but substitute has moved mom to nectar thick)
 
 looking forward to having this weekend off
to spend more time with her
even if we only nap side by side

Happy Friday!

Vintage Christmas



more delightful Pinterest finds
right now 
I don't even own a tree

in the move all my prim green and brown trees
were donated to ReStore
only so much could fit in Mom's house...

for now I dream of vintage ornaments



especially garlands

and birds...


 at Christmas
I am a huge fan of shiny and gaudy
mixing the sparkle with the prim

how about you
do you step out of your normal style
for Christmas decorating?

wishing you a beautiful day
I drove home in freezing rain and crappy roads last night
so cold and snow 
are a delight today

All Smiles


love this photo

it's all smiles around here
as there is just a little of the background
to finish hooking on the 
second rug pattern from
Woolen Memories...

need to pick up batteries for the camera
or I'd be showing it off now!

still working on the design for the 
church rug for mom...
it has to have sheep


looks like I'll start another rug 
while I ponder the details...
a pattern from my stash
will do just fine

Christmas design anyone?

what's on your frame this week?
