Scrappy Backgrounds

you know what I'm going to say

cats instead of flowers

prim perfection

ditto

this background...

***** 

these are the very few rugs I've saved on Pinterest recently

am obsessed with the fidget quilts

 am making parts and pieces in various colorways

then will combine onto fleece backings

 it's so FUN to do something way out of my comfort zone

never in my life

have I chosen bright, shiny or so much pink

 even rooted around the remnant bins in Joann's...

Happy Monday 

 

 

Fun Antique Rugs

I always enjoy the rug shows

Saundra 

 shares on her blog 

hoping you'll enjoy mine

with a few fun rugs...

I think these squirrels are having a discussion

about the nuts

in the neighborhood

 

 off course

I would change this to a cat

with birds...

 the possibilities...

have always wanted to reproduce this one

hearts and all

empty the worm baskets!

this looks like 

something you'd see under a microscope

I can only dream

of hooking something so wonderful...

Mom and I had a pretty good night last night

slept more than we have in days...

about 5 am she started with the 

"get me out of here"

in her mad Gladys voice...

she went half an hour

the overnight staff has been wonderful!

if all her test results come back good

she's going home 

to the facility today

she is looking and feeling so much better

we had a wonderful Dr from the hospital in charge of her care

she took her time talking to us

(in the hall)

and was very patient and kind with Mom

we spoke to her about the future

what would she do if this was her Mom

we liked her answers...

wishing you a wonderful day 

Change of Plans

you know that rug I shared yesterday

forget about it

too much though required...

am changing to this

super easy

still feel crappy

but I have managed to take a shower and brush my teeth

couldn't do it yesterday

with a fever

gathering energy to head to grocery store

for more Powerade Zero

I've had it with water 

might need a bit of chocolate too

in the from of pudding

it's just a cold

hate to miss seeing mom two days in a row

glad it's my weekend off so I don't have to take sick time

silver linings and all that

 

More Scrappy Hooking

progress...not sure about that yellow...

it's much brighter in person

 very far out of my comfort zone 

the dark dividing line looks black

it's actually a reddish brown that never worked anywhere

love it here

a few gals asked about the pattern

the drawing is what I started with

can you tell I'm not a perfectionist?

1. draw any size rectangle on your backing

2. draw an X from corner to corner

3. mark the middle of each outside border line

4. connect the dots to form a square

hope this makes sense...

very simple 

if you make one I'd love to see it!

found this one of ebay

for all those dark worms still haunting me
