Another Weekend Blows Right On By...

Just where does the time go - seems like it was just January and here we are half way thru March. It's what they say when you are young, enjoy it then cause it goes by so quick.

Saturday I spent most of the day with my Dad and then I came home and decided to bake some sugar cookies - i put in some Easter colored M & M's to "Spring-Like" them up. I am so ready for Spring this year it's not funny. Cookies are pretty tasty even though I need them like I need a hole in my head!


Saturday night around 8:30 i felt the "need" to hook and still am on the fence on what to do next on a rug I'm working on so I got out a piece of linen and drew up some "eggs" and started hooking. Well I was up pretty late and then got up this morning and finished the third one. I got them cut apart, serged, and steamed and took them with me to care center to finish. Stayed with my dad most of the day and just "whipped" my eggs - He was funny - my Mom got up to leave and he said something thinking both my Mom and I were leaving - and I told him I wasn't leaving until I was done whipping my eggs. He got a good giggle and told me I could stay as long as I wanted and he actually wished i had a few more to whip! LOL! Left there and picked up Chinese food (all Sharon's fault for mentioning Chinese!) and came home in time to watch Amazing Race!

Anyway here are my eggs, not sure I may list them on Ebay but after reading discussions on some of my groups it seems sales are down for most so not sure what I will do them. I made them egg-shaped and tried to make them look like Redware and Yelloware. (Of course my photography is off for colors!)

Well there was also some good news - My Dad is doing really well in his rehab and they are talking Tuesday to bring him home. So they are seeing about all the arrangements on when they can train him, my mom, and I on what we need to do for him but after almost a month of hospitlization, he will be much happier than at home. It will be a big lifestyle change on many levels but just being at home and getting to a "new" normal I'm sure will make him feel better.

There is only a 50/50 chance that he will be be completely healed without all the tubes and things or he may have to live them with for the rest of his life. Still he's in good spirits and has ants in his pants to get out of there!

Hoping everyone had a wonderful weekend and has a great week ahead.

Sweet dreams - Joanne

Here's your answer... Send the redware eggs to Jersey!!! LOL! They look GREAT! So happy that your Dad will be home this week! Some fresh air, sunshine and freedom to move about when and where he wants is going to be the bestest therapy for him!

Hey Joanne...I apologize for not commenting on your posts for awhile. Just stuff. Anyway. Love the eggs, glad your Dad is doing well, and the cookies look delish.

You've been so busy --- I'm impressed! I love the Easter eggs you hooked. Very cute! Now...do you have a feather tree for Easter? Those eggs would look great hanging from an Easter colored tree!

Your cookies look delicious! I don't need them either but that wouldn't stop me from eating some.

Joanne, blessings for your Dad. He looks so much better in your pictures and I'm sure he'll do much better at home than in a rehab center, no matter how good it is. I hope and pray he continues to improve!
