First finish of 2012

I just finished the hooking on this rug.  I pushed it hard this weekend to get this part finished.  It will be a couple of days before I get the binding completed but it is a sigh of relief to get this completed with a little time to spare.

This is my donation to a fund raiser for Palliative Care in memory of a friend who died from cancer.


The colors are off a bit because this is just an iPad photo, but you get the idea.   Now I need to start thinking of a new project.   I get twitchy without a plan.

Thanks for your patience while I continue to play around with the blog settings.

  8. Love it Kim!!! That background is AWESOME!!! (You sure you wanna donate it??) ;o) I know it'll do well....Liking the new background and header...and read your post about the blogger issues....hmmmm - I personally prefer the pop-up box (as long as it still shows the underlying post....I don't like the ones that go to a whole separate page and you have to go back to remember what it was you wanted to comment on....yeah, I'm getting that old....) Hope the week ahead is a good one! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

    I never mentioned it in my email response because this is the first time that I checked Blogger today and my jaw just dropped when I saw it.
