Chairs, smiles, and flowers - Oh My!


These ladies in the front row are a good depiction of our mood today.  It was smiles all around.  Today we had Mom sitting up in a chair for about 2 hours.   You should have seen the huge smile on her face when we took her out of the bed.  But after all these weeks in bed, it seemed to tire her out.  She was snoring loudly when I left.  It was so great to see her out of bed and smiling. 

I have made some progress on my pillow project.  It's the Sassy Sunflower design from Red House Wool Studio.  I've already hooked this once but still love it.  I have a new Red House Wool pattern ready and waiting for this to be finished. 


A little more hooking time and then it's time to settle in - It's Downton night!  I know it's crazy but maybe Anna will wake up and last weeks episode will just have been a bad dream sequence.  Yeah, yeah, not gonna happen

  5. That is great news to have your mom pull through like that and sit in a chair for all that time. I'm so glad for all of you. It has been a long stay in bed poor her.

    I've finished hooking my ancient rug and was trying to figure how to finish the edge tonight. Now I can't sleep. I love that sunflower too. It's a great design.
    Hugs,

  16. Hi Kim,
    Oh so good to hear your Mom is smiling and sitting in a chair! That is always a sure sign of progress! It makes me smile that you're hooking another sassy sunflower! I've really been in a slump and can't decide what to do next.... working on rugs I haven't finished seems so dull.
    I can't figure out that Mary... she should have married that guy... but then I guess the show needs something to keep it stressful!! LOL!!
    Hugs!!
