Time is Flying...

Below are jar openers.  They are backed with rubber draw liners...Now is the time for relaxing sewing with no stress and no deadlines!!

Here: 13 bowl cozies for the holidays.  The bottom one is made from a shirt  I had  made for my son when he was five...He is now 40!!  Both my boy grands wore it too! 

Making more laminate  pouches closed with velcro.  They are perfect for holding cards, or snacks, or anything.  I have one for dog  treats and one for labels.  The old ladies here play "Hand and Foot ". a card game.  I made one of these for each table so the cards would not get lost.

Our darling Stitch is now 9.5 years old.  I still remember how Evan and I went to get him at  the shelter after Granddaddy died.  He is  the best cat ever...king everywhere he goes.  Now he lives in Union County with the grandchildren he loves.  Stitch no longer sleeps on my sewing table, but as you see, he is quite happy  xox Love you Stitch!!

A fun scrap potholder...

It has now been almost 3 months since my hip replacement surgery.  Still zero pain...so grateful...However, I am wobbly, on a walker and working on my patience..Life does seem to change.  Little by little I am able to do new things...Eg. I can now exercise in the pool for 30 min and ride the Nu-step for 11 minutes. Still only walking small distances.... I am carrying on.

I am making new friends.  A couple moved in last week where the husband has ALS.  I took them a potholder and told them I was available any time they cared for support.  No one should be alone with this disease!!  I can be a fellow traveler.( If they want)

Reading and  relaxing and getting better...Finally posting...Internet is back and I am still in the learning curve of my new PC mini...

I am preparing new small works for the  holidays..and preparing myself to get  better!!  xoxo
