Dear me, I am so out of touch. Big thanks to Sherry for restoring my blogging button to my screen...I still so struggle with technology. Age is upon me with issues...darn....How could I struggle with my blog after so long.
Below is a gifted jar opener backed with drawer liner. It is for a friend who loves Chinese symbols and just returned from the hospital.. I stuck it on her door last night. This fabric was found years ago at IKEA. I have yards of it.
Boxes made...guess I just could not stop...This one is for a new couple just moving in:
This one, for a birthday gift to a gardening friend

I have a blue one too...but lost the picture...age is upon me!!
Buttons are my newist craze...The 11 th anniversary of my husband's death is coming up on April 14th...My son still struggles and my last hip replacement has left me on a walker...Jeeze ....so my movie star days are over, but that does not mean that I like it!!!!
Below is my O:Wabi-Sabi One....scraps ironed on fusible fleece, quilted and bound...very fun!!
And, so it goes. I am sooo grateful to live in this wonderful retirement community. If one of us gets sick, we just go to the next level of care at no additional cost....No one gets evicted because of money. It feels so safe...I have wonderful new friends, a new quilting group, a lovely side garden to read in...and when my leg cut mends, a wonderful swimming pool right next door to my apartment. I am so very lucky. I have been making small things to share with friends in trouble: key fobs, tissue holders, bowl cozies, little boxes, covered "happy" cloths (washcloths with color) or jar openers..etc.
These can be used anywhere: faces, kitchens, bathrooms, etc...Just covered washclothes to be pretty.
My today"s practice is gratitude and small things given with great love...You know: Me and Mother Teresa....OK not really, but the idea is sounds good, as I bloom where I am planted xo
