Hang Ups…

Well yes we all have those… but…

What I mean is Hung Up… Finally!

My husband made a quilt rack for me last year… but I didn’t have it hung where I wanted it because I was afraid the little one would pull on the quilts and well… I was willing to be patient.

It’s hung on the wall a few inches out from the corner which allows the arms to extend against both walls… really dresses up that corner of the living room.  I might just have to have one for the bedrooms… but then I’d have to turn some of those ‘tops’ into quilts!

The other thing we got hung up was a mirror for the foyer that we bought last fall.

And yes that is a winter wool mittens picture hanging on the opposite wall… I guess since it’s actually starting to feel like spring I should put it away… LOL

Here is the other little (2.5” x 4.5”) punch needle project I finished recently.  It will be cute hanging in my kitchen… it is from Threads That Bind.  I will certainly order the larger (3” x 5.75”) one they have that has a “Ball” jar and some tomatoes.

Spring!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, haaaa, ha, ha…

Yeah… today is 20 degrees colder than yesterday and according to the weather folks all week the rest of the month will be below normal.

At least the sun is shining again today after being out most of the day yesterday too… nice to get that coating of snow melted off.

I finished off this little punch needle project last evening while watching TV.

It’s a pattern from Threads That Bind that I picked up last week at the Lancaster Quilt Show.  After checking out the web site I can honestly say I’ll be buying more of their patterns… they are soooo cute.

I had purchased the small canning jar – but I see that they have a larger one on their web site… so I may have to get that one as well.  I think they’d be sweet in my kitchen!

 

I also finished off the first of the felted clogs… I know - you look at this and figure there is no way that will ever fit.

It measures to 16”… looks like a slipper for a giant!

 

 

 

I have an appointment for my knee today and then I am desperate for some fruits and veggies… the refrigerator is empty… seriously… empty!  Actually I should pull all the drawers and shelves and wash them – it’s that empty.  As much as I hate shopping I like going to the place I buy organic fruits and veggies.  They have a stand at the Green Dragon farmers market on Friday but I’d rather go to the store they opened last year across town.

I’m out to enjoy some sunshine!
