Week 1 is over finally and I think I am progressing pretty well. A few unexpected crisis, but I have been able to overcome them.
I finally figured out how to transport 'stuff' with me. I put this bag on my walker and I fill it up with whatever needs to move with me. I'm sure I look like a bag lady. It's worked pretty well, other than Wednesday when I put my phone and my water bottle with cranberry juice in it without realizing that the bottle wasn't closed tightly. Needless to say, my phone got sweet juice inside of it. I cleaned it out as best I could and left it open to dry out. It worked (with an occasional hiccup) the rest of that day. By yesterday it was OK. Imagine me in my condition and no way to talk to people.
The other problem I had was getting food. Of course, starting Monday, I didn't have Chuck to wait on me and I was trying to figure out how I could get food transported in a Target bag. Most of the time it didn't work well, then on Wednesday I came up with this ingenious tray on wheels. Well, ingenious to me. If you get hungry enough, you finally find a way. Now someone needs to invent some way to have a tray hook on to this walker. It's probably already out there; I just don't now it.
Don't know what the problem was, but I was able to finish downloading the rest of my project pictures. These are all things that I made about 10 years ago and finally had them quilted. Got the bindings all on and now I think I'm may sell them. If I can figure out Etsy I think that would be a good way to go. I really need to find someone to set an account up for me. I hate doing that stuff. I've decided I need to get serious about weeding out some of my stuff. After all---I don't plan to live forever and my girls have told me they don't want to have to go thru all that "stuff"!
This could be a small table mat or I put a pocket back on it so it could be used as a pillow. The star is gold wool. The size is 16x16.
This wall quilt is 33 x 40. It's very graphic and my quilter did a nice job of quilting on it.
This small wall hanging consists of 4" log cabin blocks. It's a little dark in the picture, but I applique'd a red candle in the lower right corner. It measures 23 inches square. It too could be used on a table.
This is a really early piece I did. It was part of a Thimbleberries Club Project that I taught in Des Moines. It can be used all year and has patriotic feel to it. Could be on the wall or on a table. It measures 25x29.
The pine tree table mat that I posted the other day measured 45x45inches. It looked really nice on my harvest table.
I'm practicing promoting these things for when I put them on Etsy. I have such a terrible time getting rid of my stuff. Even when I make something specifically for someone it's tough for me to see it go. I know I have a problem......
And Last: A couple more pictures of Braylon's birthday party.
Grandpa and Grandma Rice can't get enough of him!
The presents just kept coming......
But, he really wasn't that interested in the cake!
