time marches on and christmas things--yes christmas--are in the dollar store right now! not much new here...weather continues to be downright perfect...i got this made...i love making these stockings....about 2.5 hours start to finish...
the weekend list? work some on a new piece to use up these row-by-row license plates...for now holding off cleaning out anymore drawers that might reveal other lurking projects...lol!
more quilting on tuscan starburst, baste down tulips on the kim diehl applique...some veggie cooking and freezing, fit in some exercise too...wash kitchen floor? maybe....
days are getting easier....always i try to think what would my mom want me to do...she came to me in a dream about a month ago, i was crying and she sat on the edge of my bed and said 'don't cry for me'....woke up and my face was wet. a love that never dies....
and on a cheerier note...reading this book by carl hiaasen...
i've read others by him and they are always very funny, very irreverent and very politically incorrect! in a recent interview he was asked where his descriptive style emanates and he replied from sitting in endless traffic in florida where he lives...his characters live in a world of ignorant hope...if anything can go wrong it does, seemingly simple plans always go awry and the mundane always has drastic results. some of his other titles? razor girl, bad monkey, strip tease....great diversions for the car-less, fixed-income senior set...LOL!
Where did you get the Hershey plate? My nephew, SIL worked for Hershey. Wonder if still available. Dotti in CT
ReplyDeleteOh, how I can relate to that reluctance to open those drawers that might reveal hidden "treasures"! I'm frustrated enough by the UFO's that I know about!! Love your stocking! There oughta be a law about Christmas displays before Halloween. Sending hugs to you, Grace~
ReplyDeleteCute stocking. Interested to see what you do with the license plate....
ReplyDeletePretty stocking!!! Nice project. I have a pile of drunkard's path blocks to stitch, too.
ReplyDeleteLovely stocking. I am sorry you miss your Mom so much. I am glad she came to you in a dream and it was pleasant for you.
