New Old Design Progress


still mostly pulling from the pre cut baskets
only the oragne strips are newly cut
I used nearly all the orange them last year...

cleaning up my old doodles
for the booklet has helped me get some of my 
hooking mojo back

tomorrow will be 3 months since Mom has been gone
there is such a big empty spot inside me
trying to stay busy and positive
knowing that's what she wanted

I am pulling old memories from my mind
from when my parents we younger and healthier
the past 10-12 had pushed those memories deep 
for the most part

 
 here's a recent good memory
Mom and Melrose were best buddies
they had their own little mutual admiration society

off to work soon
ah...the stories I could tell from the ER

It Seems Like Forever






one year ago tonight
a little after midnight
my dear Dad passed away with me by his side
it has been quite a year
mostly so busy with Mom
I haven't had time to grieve
I thank him daily for so many things
miss him always...
Dad loved Christmas with his family
so tonight I've been looking
at vintage Belsnickles
checking out recipes for pfeffernuse
all things German for the holidays
tomorrow I am bringing mom home
for a few hour visit
praying it goes well
so it can be the first of many...
this morning she called to say
they took her and some other ladies to jail last night
weird because I dreamt someone kidnapped her
we really are on the same wavelength
quite often
we say it's because we are both the babies...

Stitching Saturday



hand piecing
the log cabin blocks
so easy and peaceful


 
Van Gogh

 
yep yep yep

 
 
you know I love nine patch blocks
but these are
calling to me now
 


 
Mom has some applique to do
so she is a happy girl!
 
I made peanut butter cookie dough
before going to work yesterday
so she and Cara (caregiver)
could make the cookies...
 
ha...she was stitching
so Cara got to bake and do the dishes
Mom was happy to sample the cookies though...
 
 
 little every day joys
that ease our grieving
