A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

Hi out there. It's been a busy month for me. I'm having eye surgery (cataracts) and so far so good. Having my other eye done Feb. 29th. Good day I hope. They say I may not have to wear glasses when I'm
done. That would be incredible since I've worn them most of my life.

I'm posting pictures of a few things I have collected and an almost finished project.

  I found this carrier in an antique shop in Sturbridge Ma. It's old green paint but looks bluish here. Love it!! Also found the old canning jars and put one of Maggie Bonanomi's pin keeps that I made in one of them.

 Picked this pin cushion up at a tag sale in Maine last summer.


Love these tin food molds. I'm always on the look out for more.


I like to collect small books and the old glasses(a box of them) were found in my Grandmothers attic.

This is a hooked mat I made in a class at Woolen Memories. The center of the flowers are coiled strips of wool. Just need to finish the  back. Not my most favorite part.

Well I guess that's it for now. The sun is out and it looks great outside but cold. We've had a funny winter. Not much snow. Not that I'm complaining but I wouldn't mind a little.

My youngest Grandson is coming for a visit this afternoon. He's so much fun. Hope you all have a nice afternoon too.

See you soon. Jan
