Comment by Sheila Craft 33 minutes ago Froggie, I believe it was in a cross stitch book! I recall seeing it, too.
Great job, Mari!
Well, first day of our Buggy Babes retreat and a lot of fun so far! Here I sit still too wired to sleep and that after a less than adequate night last night. We have 8 of us here and this is a terrific facility! Here's a couple of pics...
Lisa & her mom, Judy working on a delft design. Judy does all of the handwork and ironing and loves to handquilt!
L-R : Myself (Sheesh, I need another dye job!), Susie from Chicago, & Ginny from Michigan - doing what we all do best - Lunch!
Comment by Carol Vickers/OH 5 hours ago Mari I love it. I bet it is done with wool. That is a product that is NOT readily available here. BUT, I do love it and my grandies would to.
Comment by Carol Vickers/OH 7 hours ago Oh Marnie, I am so sorry about your mom's illness. A friend's mom had ALS and it was sad to see her limitations. Hugs and prayers for all of you.
Comment by Mary Alice Espinoza 8 hours ago Lou Anne, virtual trips are sometimes the best. The don't cost anything and the imagination is all alive!
Marnie, hugs, I'll be praying for you and your family.
Froggie, you got me thinking of butter pecan ice cream now--bad girl! Now somewhere in my shed I have an ice cream maker, wonder if there's a recipe for butter pecan ice cream..hmmm? Wonder if the ice cream maker still works!
I saw it in a magazine or something, Diane, probably cross stitch, I think. It's hilarious anyway.
Mary Alice, DH's Granny had a pecan tree in her yard. She would send us a nice big ice cream container full of pecans for Christmas. We would put them in the freezer and use them all year, they were so good! I miss Granny and her tree.
I love your project, Mari, sew sweet! And the stitching that looks like grade school paper. I love that paper.
Your floor got wet, Barbara! THat cracks me up again! There's no hope for us.
Is it raining yet, Diane? I hope so. Real rain.
I don't understand crochet language. I just love what it looks like when someone else finishes it.
Oh, quilty hugs for you and Mom, Marnie! I hope your sis gets the right setup for her to make her good and comfy.
DGS1 and I worked in the yard all day today, I hope I get this stuff done soon. Driving me nutty. Nuttier. AND sis bought an embellisher. I can't believe she finally got one. She has been wanting it for a while, and I have been trying to get her to buy one for a while. Now the playing begins. I see some pretty stuff for Christmas coming my way this year. I crack me up.

It looks like I will be going to ND earlier than July. My Mom has been diagnoised with ALS(Lou Gerigs Disease) It has progressed quicker than we had hoped it would. My sister, the hospice nurse will move Mom to her house tomorrow and care for her. Mom hasn't been able to eat. Her throat is tightening up. . Sis will put her on Oxygen too. That should help. I am off to find an earlier ticket. Take care all.

MARI I love your project. Of course I love all wool work.
I didn't quite understand the instructions for the crochet rug but I just know it will be beautiful.
100 wholly crap!I would just die.
Comment by Mari/WA 13 hours ago Thanks everyone!
Mary Alice, nope, no buttons although that would be really cute. They are all circles of wool.
The pattern comes from Wooden Spool Designs and I love her stuff. I don't know if its still available but you can email or call her if it isn't and see if she'll print one off for you.
