Jim and I are both feeling worn out from the stress of dealing with all the stuff that you have to do after a loved one dies. It’s rough going. Whew. (His darlin’ Mum passed away a couple of weeks ago).
We’re ‘making re-entry’ into ‘regular life’, and it feels pretty odd. While I am getting […]
In my last posting Draw the Curls and Hat
I showed how I drew and burned the curls and hat on ‘Gladdie Gertie’. It was so busy with the wedding and the funeral, that it took awhile to get enough time to paint her….. but she’s done!
And, here she is:
Purple curls……
and a red […]
One of my crochet buddies, Vashti,
just tagged me, so it’s time to tag along!
I started by tagging my cat….. who finds this basket - no matter where I move it in the studio, and curls up and sleeps in it:
Here are the rules of the game:
“Each person tagged gives seven random facts about themselves. Those […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about treasures lately, because of Jim’s Mum’s death and also because of our son’s marriage.
One of my most favorite treasures to come into my life recently is this little hook that belonged to Jim’s Grandma:
I really love old crochet hooks. When someone on the Crochet Partners list asked, “how do […]
Mum’s house and household was a small, modest, lovingly cared for little home. It was, however, saturated with meaning and memory for all her family. It was the center of the family gatherings, and little treasures from it mean the world to us all…. whether it’s a teapot or an apron, a cookbook, tape measure […]
Today, I was thinking about the treasures that are coming to us from Mum’s house.
Of course, the greatest treasure that has ever come to me, from anywhere, is my Beloved! :D
And, now, we have another ‘living treasure’: Mum’s furchild:
Also known as: The Queen of Everything. (She is very fond of sleeping on my yarn stash […]
My wonderful daughter, Chloe, writes the
Tangled Thread blog for b5. She’s a gifted fiber artist and designer and made a lovely memory book for her brother and his wife for their wedding.
She took some tartan that was left over after I made the kilts and ….. oh, just go take a look! LOL!
AND, she got […]
In my posting: mother of the groom
I talked about the crocheted, spoolknitted and woven wrap (AKA: The Mahvelous Mystery Mother of the Groom Thingie) that I was working on for our son’s wedding.
Unfortunately, because my beloved mother-in-law spiralled down and needed our constant attention, I was unable to get the shawl/wrap done.
So, I went with […]
The months of working towards this wedding were a joy.
It was a beautiful wedding. The best part is, that we feel confident that our son and his new wife will make a success of their marriage. We hope that they will be as happy together as we have been!
It was a week of stark contrasts, […]
I wrote about weaving the flashes for the kilt hose for our son, Jim and the groomsmen, here:
flashes
The guys looked so splendid in their kilts, and the woven flashes (basically, woven bands in colors from the tartan, that decorate the garters the men wear to hold up their socks) looked very spiffy!
That’s me, adjusting […]
For the love of knitting, crochet, spoolknitting, spinning and weaving!
