A Holiday season : Week Two

Grandma O'Quilts is still potholder crazy.

Tree potholder process below.  I think I will sew a little button on top for a star.

I sew love my electric Accucutter!!!

I could not let these scraps go by.....

Good use for my cat cut outs..,

Today, I got  my first shot for losing weight.  I am still alive...

It has been 12 hours and I have not yet lost any weight and my joint pain still flares.

Friends gathered at lunch for a very fun "shot" support group,.

I am so very lucky!!

I had the medication, the needles and the instructions from the pharmacy.

The mean nurse here insisted that I learn to give myself the shot....No way!!!

She said if I did not learn, she would charge me $27.  I told her that I would pay the money

The nurse got meaner.  She insisted...So today was my first lesson in giving myself a shot....OMG

I am waiting for the awful side effects that google told me about.......waiting....

Tomorrow I just may put away my box of Christmas and Hannukah fabric.

I should do it before I get holiday potholder- making crazy,  out

 of control!!!

It has been rainy and cold here in Charlotte...brrr.

I, however, am snug as a bug by my sewing machine.

A Holiday Season....Week One

With great excitement I show the cool swag on this tree...Variagated thread and my little star stitch..Perfect!!

Some of my work in the art room display...Accuquilt snowflakes for Christmas and Hannukah!!

Plus little hanging made for me by my girl many years ago.

The little snowmen are memories from yesteryear...When  my son was in fourth grade.  He hunted the acorn hats..Together we sprayed the clothespins and dotted the face with marker...I love them still

My improv tree quilt was chosen for exhibit this year.

Housewarming potholder for a friend who changed apartments.

She loves to embroider so I put this scrap piece together with a snippit of my grandmother's doily.

My talented grandmother lived from 1896 to 1996.

And, in Portland, our four year old Aoife visits the Llama holiday get together...A  yearly event for them.

Her Irish sweater celebrates the season with the Irish word for Christmas.

Mrs O'Quilts is finally getting an attitude adjustment.  It is not just old lady me with pain and grief..

The world is full of it and so is my apartment complex...

Getting a grip for the holidays with my new role as potholder queen.

Found my name here on one of the doors in our main building.

Why, I have no clue....but it kinda makes me smile:).

Continuing my prime goal of :  "Bloom Where You are Planted"

Already first week of December.
