Borders and Mom


more border ideas


yep
just add a flag instead of the words...

 I see a theme with all these borders
very scrappy


love how the hearts fade into the background


if you're really stuck for a border
feel free to copy this one
on my patriotic crow rug

*****

haven't started hooking yet
still getting my wool in order
from the last rug

in case you don't know
I cut my wool into strips all the time
to give Mom something to do with her hands
I mix them up
so she can separate into bundles by color 

she has been having some very bad days
getting a good balance of anti anxiety meds is hard
I think she is too medicated
Hospice says give it some time...

so I am taking Family Medical Leave Act days
off work to spend lunch through bed time with her
yesterday she kept trying to get out of bed
after a short nap

it took over an hour for the aides to come help her
she would have been on the floor
if I wasn't there

she needs two aides to help her up
one was on break
next time I'll call the main desk
and ask for the nursing supervisor
I couldn't leave the room for a second

*****

please share your rugs pics in
The Out of Hand Hookers
group page on Facebook
progress big or small 

there are no size requirements
there is no deadline
this is just for fun

Changing Rugs Again


my current project has been set aside
just not feeling it...
so now I'm on the lookout something to hook


I like these colors...

I keep coming back to this rug
it might finally be time...

*****

Mom's meds seem to be working pretty good
but her desire to go home and visit her mother
pretty much overrides everything

we've had a few good days in a row
reality says
about time for the roller coaster to change course

  *****

my NC sister and her husband
are visiting much earlier than planned 
only 2-3 weeks and they'll be here!

a treat for all of us

On the Frame


Mom has been having some trouble
remembering which room is hers...

hooking a little something
to help her recognize it

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
