Hi, Gang!

Mainly I’ve been working on stash-busting and making 7” crocheted squares to send to ‘Warm Up America’ where other crafters make the donated squares into afghan blankets for whoever needs them.

I have three lap quilts done, and am waiting for Covid to settle down some more, then will take them to my Dad’s former Nursing Facility to donate.

I have my quilt done for the next County Fair, but I like that pattern so much I want to make another one.

Today I am nursing Beau through a bout with Kidney Stones. Ouch! He hasn’t passed it yet, and is actually feeling OK, though is napping right now. He has his meds at the ready!

We finished the new flooring in the Family Room and it looks great! Luxury Vinyl Tile that looks like wood. Our Foster Son did the flooring and is still temporarily unemployed so he’s coming to help me put the furniture back where it belongs this week. The snow storm and Beau being sick has delayed things, though I did get all of the woodwork and the baseboards washed, which was much needed.

And that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! ;)

Don’t forget to post before and after on the garden thread. :)

This is Jean’s Gift Shop in Chiticamp, Cape Breton on the far eastern edge of Nova Scotia. These aren’t needlepoint. They aren’t cross stitch or knit. They are an art version of hooked rugs. Small, beautiful and done for hundreds of years by transplanted Arcadians. It may be gone now as their website is down. We found items made by people with the last name of my wife’s sixth great grandfather.

The easternmost needle art store in North America.
