HOOK ME!

all those birds are wonderful

the top row is pretty sweet too

the parents are doing better

in some ways

worse in others

it's a day by day struggle

A Blue Quilt

this is the blue quilt

I saw on eBay that has inspired

my current project

a few dozen 8" blocks are stitched

many more to go

I've been auditioning 

alternating blocks...

while I'll never be shaped like this

I'd love to have that smile...

if only I could get the hang

of the hula hoop...

picked up one at the Dollar Store yesterday

no luck yet...

my version of this antique rug is on the frame

working on a few small colorful pieces

to cheer up my living room...

yesterday I finished the hooking 

on a large bee skep

Antique Applique

I found this antique quilt

at

Crazy Creek Quilts

circa 1845

wouldn't you love to know the history?

Making Do

in addition to using up my

craft supplies this year

I'm working on using up most
of my food before buying more...

packing my lunch for work everyday

it won't take long since in the past

I've mostly eaten in the cafeteria at work
plus way too much fast food-take out...

Yesterday I made a pot roast

in the crock pot that drove the cats mad

by the end of the day

Olivia had knocked the lid off
and was licking the inside of the pot
(the food was in the fridge by then)

this morning I had a hearty lunch
to take to the folks for
Mom's 88th birthday!
