Friday Finish

This Friday I have 2 finishes to show off.

Bedelia Bunny by the

Artsy Housewife I finished stitching

last year.

I just decided to sew into a pillow.

I chose this floral fabric for the back.

 As usual stuffed with fabric...

but this time added a bit of

Tundra's fur.

He is shedding bigtime...and it is so soft.

Maybe Spring is finally coming.

This was stitched on 32 ct Cookie Dough.

This is the pattern photo.

I did not stitch any of the motifs.

For the flowers, my purples were more muted.

So were my yellows.

My Spring display with my new bunny pillow.

When last I showed you Sarah Casey Unwin,

I had this little corner left to stitch.

Here it is in its full glory already on the wall.

The shine on the right side of the house is the sun

coming in from the window.

(no ghosts) LOL

I chose a reddish brown frame because

I knew it was going to be hung above

our pumpkin pine cabinet.

I do have another pattern that I will

start soon...then when finished will

hang to the left of this one.

Hopefully they will still have the same

frame color because this new pattern

will probably take me another year to stitch.

I changed up the cabinet for a more Spring look.

My red curtains are really two blankets.

I hung one blanket on each side using clips.

Hung prim sheers for the middle

that are also stationary. 

For those who do not know 

what pumpkin pine is...

it is pine wood which was cut 

from the heart of a pine tree.

The oxidation from these old trees

made for the orange color, which they 

call pumpkin.

Hence pumpkin pine.

The older the pine tree, the more 

orange it would be.

Unfortunately you will not find

pumpkin pine sold now...

unless you find an antique one.

In other news,

I took mom to her monthly social

on Wednesday.

This month it was strawberry shortcake.

I brought both a strawberry rhubarb pie,

 and a strawberry cheesecake roll.

All was a hit.

My mom had a piece of pie and shortcake.

When we got back to her room, she

told me the pie was good. I told her that

I thought the shortcake was good and she says

"I did not have any of that"

I had to remind her she had both.

When I first got to her room,

her phone was not next to her.

I asked her where it was.

She said it was on the kitchen table charging.

I looked there and no phone.

I called her phone and could hear nothing.

Then I had to go on a hunt for it.

I looked everywhere for that dang phone.

Finally I looked in her purse which she

keeps in the closet.

Yep it was there.

She must have put it in there when took her

last Thursday for her outing.

She never took it out and it died.

Just sad she is getting so forgetful.

Well I have the weekend left,

then back to work for a week....

then RETIREMENT.

WOOHOO!!!

Friday Before Retirement Blessings To All!
