Please Pray

Popaw is in the hospital has been since Friday.  This makes mom much worse.  We get the lab results back tomorrow. Please pray for us. I use to pray for those "poor people" now we are those poor people:)
This is taking its toll on me.
Hugs and love sent to my online family

Its Begining to Look alot like Easter on the Hill

  I got out all the Easter baskets out and put the toys in them the candy will come the night before.  Note my new handy dandy ironing board its like me it multi tasks.
I have 5 baskets, but would have had 7 if my kids from Ga. could have came...no not bio, but mine mine mine.

I made the Chocolate bunny from Whiskers and Wool. Also a little Hello Kitty in a duck suit.  I would link, but I honestly don't know where it came from. Nothing on the pattern.  Years ago I copied a bunch of Japanese patterns and used the charts to figure them out.  This was in English.....sorry. I don't like the eyes or nose next time it will be better.  I was suppose to use felt, but you know me. I think felt is a tad tacky on stuffed animals.  Only a few people can use felt properly and I am not one of them.

  For those in my caring family and friends I am doing great. My last day of therapy is Fri., its kicking me so very glad its the last one. Dad on the other hand is not doing so well.  I need to stay stress free...any ideas when you are an only child and its your daddy?  I have ask God to richly bless all that prayed for me and dad and still are. I value prayer above all else. I have cried over some of your e-mails so loving and precious.  I will never forget your support. I love you guys.

Back on the home front I am sending all my baby sweaters off. A needful place. So I am as mom would say up and about God's Business.  I couldn't want anything more for everyone that may pass by here to have all good things pressed down and running over..  Love you guys hugs sent.

Poor old MImi;(

   I haven't blog for awhile had a little hospital stay.  I won't bore you.  MY friends that have kept in touch and stayed close know and I appreciate them beyond words. To the rest that just stop by for a peek.  I hope someday to be back to normal. Don't count me out yet. MY life at the moment is upside down.  My kids are thoroughbreds. Everyone of them has been so supportive.  I count the DI L's as mine as well. MY husband is a trooper.  Everyone that prayed for me ..you are gold. Thank you.

I will be back when I can.  I care about each one that stops by and those that pray for me God bless you .

Love sent and good wishes MIMI

Owl Baby Sweater and WHEW!

  The yarn is Vanna White, size H hook.  I stayed with the pattern except, I made buttonholes rev sc around and made ribbing on the end of the sleeves and sweater followed by 3 rows of sc.  The hat is my own simple simple. Sweater Pattern  and the link for the Owl app.

For family and dearest friends:  Our parents are stable.  More Dr. Appointments and worry, but stable. 

Our DD. watched over Nan and Popaw and WP. and I went to the big City for Grandparents Day. It was wonderful. I even got to spend the rest of my Joann's gift card.  The Super store is Super.  I only could stay about 20 min. I honestly could spend a day there.

I gave my DIL the pillow cases.  I spent a month on them can you believe it?  I do believe she truly loved them.

Well my dears and I do mean my dears more DR. appoints this week and more than likely stress pressed down and filled to the brim. I wish you all good things and a joyful carefree week...at least one of us should have it. :) Hugs and so much love sent.

Still Here

Family and dear friends, our parents are all in need at the moment will be back when I can. Hugs and love sent to all.

Storms and flowers

Spring flowers that usually don't bloom till April.

 


   Just a note to let my family and friends know we are all  still here.  WP. and I have more limbs to pick up, but that is nothing to what everyone else has.  I know everyone will be concerned about Nan and Popaw.  They slept right through it.  Dad noticed the electric was off, but they just stayed in bed. The school in their town was damaged, and a few homes.  We were without power from about 3am till 10:00am.  I have heard from everyone except our childhood friends from around Harrisburg, IL. It is going to be bad Friday.   I am hoping everyone will come to our house where it is the safest.  I have never seen our Spring flowers bloom so soon.  It is very warm here today. Ky. parents, and uncle Lewis still have no phone service.

Hugs, and be safe.

Stacking

        This is the tip of the iceberg.  I now have most of my knitting and crocheting hardbacks in one case. My print offs that are super important are in bins. My most important mags are on the bottom. I have a larger case downstairs for my quilting books and patterns, one case for my cookbooks, one small case for my tatting books, one case for my song books and sheet music. I need to release even more, but I just can't bring myself to it yet. I have 3 works in progress (yarn) in baskets in my project closet. I have all my bow making material in a nice container. I do have several quilts done and some that need to be set together. Even after the big mag purge of 2011, I still have a larger case with old mags downstairs. I did not mention 3 stackable crates with dividers that hold my print offs from the beginning of the Internet in the 90s. They are all sorted and labeled.  What I cannot seem to do is finish embroidery projects.  I have a dresser scarf, and a large tablecloth, one kitten block for a quilt.  My pillow cases are coming along so maybe I am getting better. I will not show all my yarn.  My oldest, and dearest friend stopped importing yarn for her business, and she sent me most of what she had left over. One time she sent 65lbs. You get the idea. Even if I buy one sk someone needs to slap me. That being said sometimes you do need a certain color.  So it is all coming together slowly, but surely.

Had the grandkids this weekend.  We cooked and had fun. We moved the kids craft table and bought more craft supplies. The new area was a big hit. Ya's leg is healing she is now in a boot . No, will play the sax in the school band next year. We are going to the big city for baby grandson's Grandparents Day at school.

I am working on my log cabin, and my pillow case.  I have been so tired of a night  that not much progress is being made.  We have on more bedroom to do, the main living room, and a little more painting. Spring brings tree trimming, deck sealing and more outside painting. The yard is a mess. We need to get a few things done before the big Easter egg hunt/ mom and dad's 65th anniversary. It seems overwhelming at times.

Hugs, to all may you have a good week and some quite moments of rest to renew yourself.

note to Auntie M.  Foghorn is no more WP. found him in the woods. That old rooster never did get his timing right. I will call you later this week.
