Finally, A Day of Rest

While perusing through my pictures 

this morning, 

I found some things I hadn't shared. 

This was a whim project

after being at 

Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse. 

 Most of the letters were found there, 

some I had,

some I made. 

I think that I might make more..

it was fun!  

Shipped off to Gracelyn and Garren's toy room!  

I know that this is hard to see in the picture.

This is an old display case that I have had around for years. 

I had an old fur collar

off an old wool coat

that I laid in there first

and then arranged all my pins,

So many keepsakes in there.

Alligator pins that my dad bought for me in Florida

when I was little,

A pin of my grandmothers,

and one belonging to JWS' grandmother.

My old Brownie and Girl Scout pins.

A great-great aunt's pin,

one made by a friend...

Memories.

I made these pillows for

Gracelyn and Kendall for Christmas

for their new bedrooms.

Somewhere there is a picture of them completed,

but who knows where?

And

finally the day of rest.

Before Christmas

I taped the entire

mini-series

Alex Haley's

Queen.

I had seen it before,

but it has been years.

And

yesterday....

I watched the entire thing.

I did not leave my recliner

for

five hours

except

for food and bathroom breaks.

I can't even think of the last time that I did that...

and

it felt great!

A little guilty,

but I think that is a woman thing!

This is what it looked like by my chair...

And I did get these finished.

I guess I wasn't totally non-productive!
