Blah

Looks like I will be getting my wrist operated on Good Friday....will have to take the weekend off and wear a cast for 3 weeks.  This will be interesting as I do not plan to take anymore time off.  As for my rotator cuff I am still in PT land...I did get my cuff injected...helped some...bicep tendon is giving me trouble....tendinitis...moral of story, well.............My friends know that moral and it is not pretty!  So maybe late spring I can hook on my rug some......of course I have more rooms to paint...never ending....

In the meantime in the midst of my pitty party I got another puppy...I know what can I say....stupid ...maybe...he was a real oops puppy.   The mom is a champion basset hound and the scoundrel of the Dad is a cardigan corgi....now how could one not want such a sweet thing!  He really looks like a basset but the ears are a tad shorter and the color is that of a cardigan corgi.  Last night (his first here) he slept with Chauncey our cardigan corgi.  I think he has become his surrogate Mom/Dad... I need to add my pictures but am too lazy so will add when he was 9 weeks....he is 12 weeks now and full of pee and poop..............lots and lots of it!!!!! Say hi to Digby....

Dresdan heart pattern

I have been very patient about this BUT really people come on!  I posted a picture of my dresdan heart block I was putting together.  I basically am done, it is all hand sewn.  Problem, I had to remove that picture and post because of stealing!  Suddenly it is on pinterest  who gave those people the right to steal my picture?!  I was not given credit...then I found the same picture of my dresdan heart block on a quilt site.  That person will not remove the picture she stole, so everyone is stealing my picture and posting on their stupid have nothing better to do pinterest!  Yep, I'm mad!

This is what I have been doing

I have a gimp left arm, so the painting has been triple time!  Something that would take me two days has turned into three weeks!  I still need to repaint the pocket doors and the middle of fireplace.  We finally broke down and bought a NEW sofa and recliner (that was for the dawling, the chair thing).  It is all recycled leather, with all material "green" as to limit our carbon footprint...yes we are that family!  It cost more, but all of it has been made in the U. S. of A. !  As you will see I have not finished the library table...putting my lemon oil on it.  I think everything goes with the antiques too.  I have also included a picture of the coffee table I am getting made...we won't get for another 6 to 8 weeks.  You will see the rugs I hooked. The blankets on the table.... that table is being put in the foyer.  I am going to paint that area next....starting next month...maybe???....All the paint, is of course Benjamin Moore.  I did change the living room to a slightly darker color of yellow.  All still "hysterical" paint colors. Now ta da..........
