What to Start on Next????

Well it's Monday already - May is already starting to fly by. Hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day yesterday.

I went to visit my parents - took my Mom a vat of macaroni and cheese - she loves it and so does my husband - I make it in the crock pot and it tastes just like baked - and very easy. I don't care for it myself. I also renewed the subscription I gave me my Mom to Create and Decorate magazine last year for Mom's Day - so that's why I took the mac and cheese - didn't want to go over empty handed!

I took some chairpads over with me and sat there for the afternoon and whipped them. (Can't show them yet -they are challenge patterns for a group I belong to). My Dad was feeling much better - it was evident the way he was picking on me! LOL! He then finally decided to leave me be and watch the Phillies game!


My Mom is very creative - she's a quilter and always making something - she got done making some quilted purses. She also spends a lot of time throughout the year making things for donation to their church for fund raisers and such. Every once in a while i go thru her tub of goodies and make sure there is not something in there i can't live without! So went up to her tubs yesterday and found something I thought would be nice for a gift - So I "bartered" with her! Just kidding - she said take it - I said I would pay for it - and she said no - then I said how about a rug - knowing full well she had her eye on a rug I made last year! So this afternoon I took over a bunch of the rugs I made to sell last year but never took them over to the stores I sell some rugs in - and let her pick -






Well I knew it wouldn't be the cat and pumpkins! She's not a cat lover! She picked the one above with the proddy like petals on the right. She told me she's been wanting that rug for a year! I told her she should have just taken it before! Oh well! Anyway - it's hers now!

Now I'm back to deciding what to start on next - I always hate finishing a rug because then I have to make a decision what to do next. I have 100's of ideas running around my head but I always have a hard time transferring my ideas to linen - I'm not good at drawing but I try - and I thank God for Primitive hooking! LOL!

So here I sit in my hooking room staring at a piece of linen and my sharpie and deciding what to make! Decisions, Decision, Decisions!

Wishing everyone a wonderful week - JOanne
