I make them for charities at the hospitals and also am now making them for shelters so that people can feel good at times of need.
We have had rain on and off, but when the sun came out yesterday, we packed up goodies and took an afternoon boat ride on the lake.
We came upon this sweet cottage all locked up, sitting forelorn on a point of the lake. I hadn't been to this end of the lake for a few years and didn't remember this little beauty.
As we cruised the lake, we saw a little waterfall that was trickling down and we all commented that next year we would be back in the spring to see the gushers!
I have been quilting a bit. I had this fabric which was my mother's material from the Virgin Islands. Well her little pouch that has been her favourite for 50 years, finally bit the dust, so I took the bag apart, copied the bag, quilted this little bag for her. The ends are recycled from her canvas bag and she will just love it. On the right top is Tortola BVI...Bliss for my mom who is 92 yrs old.
Oh, and the bear has visited our neighbours again. We are told that it will probably be back and back for the next couple or years. OMG!

what a great bag for your mom!!! love the picture. and those knit fingerless gloves are so great. i love them...my kids wear them as well.
Your mum will love her new bag, I'm sure! Those fingerless gloves look warm,and I like the yarn. The leaves are definitely changing now, aren't they?
Cute bag and cute fingerless gloves.
Just shoot the darn bear and he won't raid the garbage containers any more. He'll get braver and one day will find a way inside the house. Wouldn't that be a nasty surprise to come home to?

Well that sounds like a fabulous day - and so warm. We are having a couple days of warm weather too but I think it is about to end.
I love the bag you made - so clever.
Oh no - not the bear - how awful!
Lovely picture of you with Wilson Nanci.
Love your Mom's bag too.
Im thinking about dragging out some knitting today while I watch the AFL grand final. My sister wouldn't be very sympathetic if I dragged my sewing machine up to her house and I cant just sit there!
Oh and someone needs to invent bear repellent...
