Surprise!!!! More Potholders.....

Life is short....use the Marcia Derse!!!

Ok...lets get the holidays in order to reduce stress!!

Next time I go to a Sit and Sew, I will make tissue holders.   They are so simple to  just hand out to folks..no hoop-la...just tissues...And, everyone can use one.  They are perfect for the theme of "small things with great love", (Mother Teresa)

If I make bowl covers, they will be small ones....not too many people cook here, but a small cover is great for small snacks or things from doggie bags.

My second name tag decoupaged with quilt patches...so cool..Thank you Sherry for the idea.

And, me...being me, ordered a third name tag because I had two  more little patches to use up.

Oh, my goodness....Kristen has great videos on labeling quilts..

Hancocks of Paducah  is one of my favorite sites.  Sale pages only.  Sometimes, eg between Christmas and New Year, there are percentages off the prices...great time to look and great time to buy.

Whittles Fabrics is another sale spot.  I bought grunge fabric last  year at a great sale price...gotta watch for it...

Let me know if  you have other sale sites for us..

Above is a present for my neighbor.

Ending here with my succulents.

I am so tired.

PT is so hard.

I lost  alot of progress being out for my surgery, etc.

So, so  missing my youth!!

Random 2023, January First

So proud of my daughter. This pig belonged to my grandmother....that would have been Emily's great-grandmother....She too, would have been proud of Emily's love of antiques and family treasures.

Marie came by last week to use my electric Go cutter.  She  cut out 30 bowl cozies...So fun!!

Still  more scrappy potholders...I cannot stop

Finally Samson's baby quilt top is finished...Jeeze...took me forever.

Is it the old phone camera or the old operator.?? My pictures are just awful

And, today I put together 30 tissue covers.  

They are ready to have the tissues inserted tomorrow.

All this done on the first day of the  year.

WHY??

Because one of my support groups had a 24 hour  meeting...Every hour, on the hour from groups all around the world,  USA, Canada, England, Turkey, Israel, Iran among some...It was amazing.  I attended six last night going to bed at 2 am....Getting up at 9 am this morning, I went to 8 more today.

It was so terrific..amazing actually.  I have friends from all around the world!!

Best part, is that I put my I-pad up next to the sewing machine, put it on mute unless I was speaking and completed some of my work/tasks from 2022

A win-win for  me!!

I am so grateful that 2023 at least had a good start.

PS  I even did 30 Sit and Stand exercises...
