It was MP birthday party tonight at Wednesday night quilting.
I made the family cake...with my grandmother's chocolate frosting.
I used her little bird candle holders and her beautiful embroidered cloth that my mother and grandmother saved forever and never used...OMG.
Happy Birthday MP
I had no present cuz I was in quite a funk today about losing my old man.
So at 4:30 I started on this. Made all of vinyl and laminate,
it is perfect for MP to take out on her boat.
I finished it 45 minutes before the party because I did not leave myself enough time for mistakes..OMG
Picking stitches out of vinyl is tough going.....grrr
This is a clear vinyl window with the owls on the inside of the bag..
....figured that MP was a wise old owl by now.
Voila.. her mother in an awesome picture book M made on Shutterfly...
I wish I could figure out how to do that for my grands...Unfortunately, it is not in my skill set...
At 99, it seems like Margaret had a million parties.
She was even right here tonight for her own daughter's party!!!
You go Margaret....
Of course, there is more......

The Second Year of Grief
I really just cannot get a grip...I keep on seeing my love in his hospital bed with his breathing mask on and the feeding tube and suction tube...all paralyzed ....
These flashbacks coming now,...at 15 months??.
TBTG I have a great therapist and great friends and family...
That the second year can be harder???
I am holding on, especially with the good knee news....
My knee quirk was just a pull of a bit of scar tissue.
It is now awesome again..
I think that I am going to make tomorrow a potholder day!!!!!
xxoo

Hang in there, dear friend. Love you.
