Strawberry Love


 all photos from Pinterest
you think I'd be tired of strawberries
I've eaten so many this week...


 haven't stitched any in ages
that's about to change
Olivia loves to carry them around and bunny kick them
so first up
wool strawberries for cats




do you have a favorite strawberry shape?
 


 did you notice the one
with pennies...








okay
not a strawberry
but isn't it a sweet old pincushion...

*****

so 
time passes...missing mom doesn't

I'm mostly still puttering around
cleaning 
filling boxes and bags for various charity donations

packing up the Fidget Mat unfinished pieces
all the supplies...
my coworker Misty and her church
The Salvation Army
do a lot of elder outreach their area
she assures me the children and women
will just love to get their hands on these goods

they regularly make little treasures
for the children to deliver to residents at local nursing homes
making everyone's day!

much better than sitting in my sewing room

Misty is one of my favorite coworkers...
favorite people
sometimes you get lucky
meeting a special soul

Happy Saturday
ugh, work...

Recharging


every year
I think this will be the year I hook Sparhawk
my sister gifted me with the pattern
over 10 years ago
the color planning just stops me cold...

I normally hook with no plan
or a very loose plan at best 
this one might need me to phone a friend...


now this is more my speed
lots of scrappy


this year I want to work on backgrounds
and reproducing the antique look 
like Saundra does 


the border!!!


now just picture it with two cats
like I do...
gorgeous background

***** 
 
I'm not sure when I'll get back to hooking
spending more hours with mom
on my days off

working on the fidget mats as time allows
I can feel this project
recharging my creativity

Fidgeting








another night of pinning between patients...
I am amazed at how many people make these mats
all over the world
 a great alternative to viewing the news
 
off the weekend so now I can get to work
or maybe tomorrow I can
I'm fidgeting to get started
today will be spent with Mom
until she goes to bed tonight

 Mom and I are going to organize her cards
from Christmas
thanks to all my fantastic online friends
it could take all day! 

Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year
full of hugs and stitches
