I got up kinda late this morning, 8:30, and decided to finish some things after straightening up the house a bit.
This baby blanket for instance, I started it last year and it has bothered me badly. Halfway through it we went to Pioneer Days in Searcy where I met this woman that taught me a lot about hand quilting. I promptly came home and finished the quilting, and exactly half is stitched one way and half another. It embarrasses me how bad my quilting used to be. Bigger stitches and uneven too.
I have no idea what I will do with it now that the binding is done, I have been meaning to find the Rockin' Babies of Pope County and donate a few others I have as well. It is such a worthy cause and so few in other counties I have lived ever know of it.
Simply babies taken from their parents in a group home and people come give love to these babies for a few hours each week. These babies have no bonds, and to simply love them and rock them and hopefully teach them what love feels like can make such a difference in a child's emotional development.
I also brought my keyboard from work home and popped the keys and washed them. Yes, I know it is not necssary but we wash everything else in our lives don't we?
Pork chops for dinner, and pumpkin bread on the menu. Mmmmm. . . Maybe some cookies too.
