Prayers and More Prayers for Cindy Girlfiend...

Such a hard post to write but i know my blog friends are great prayer warriors..
Sat am ( the 4th year anniversary of Cindys sons death ) about 1/2 hour before we were to leave to a sale Cindy had a ACUTE AORTIC DISSECTION.
I had just texted with her minutes before and we were excited for the 1st sale of the year.
Dennis her husband heard her call out and got the ambulance right there. our hospital here transferred her to Grand-forks, ND about 20 minutes away and she soon went in to surgery, about 6 hours. and then 1:30 am she went back into surgery about 4 hours. the Dissection was quite extensive the Dr. said it was a miracle she survived to even get to surgery. There is a meeting today with the Drs. so i will know more specifically what we need prayers for soon..... reality is setting in today and i miss my Cindy Girlfriend....aka partner in crime (treasure hunting).

Love This quilt in Progress...

I got a text from Carol (school mate) as she needed more fabric for the backing of this quilt shes working on. she had come in to the quilt shop with her mom one day over Christmas when sister Jana was working and i was there visiting. she had made the knitted wool cozies i showed awhile back.
thought id share her felted wool crazy quilt.. as I think its beautiful and all recycled wool sweaters.
She washes them in really hot water which felts them and then she cuts them up. She is embellishing the pieces with wool thread/yarn left over from other projects.
Thank you Carol for letting me share with my blog friends! and i always enjoy hearing from you and seeing what you are working on!
This is Lady her grandkitty, she is  supervising the project...

This is the backing she is will be using..

Thought i'd show you my wool mittens that auntie Mary made all of us Cobblers made one year..

Enjoy your day my Blog friends!              Jody

Mocha Bean Day...

yesterday i worked on my Mocha Bean Soap..
i had to wrap it a bit different as to how i had placed the beans.

 a Facebook friend was selling this for 5.00 so i messaged her and bought it.
she lives just up the street a bit so when i went out to run errands i picked it up
i love crocks....

i think i had shown you this quilt Sister Jana was working on for the quilt shop..

 its in the book she gave me for Christmas.

its made with the layered Cake squares..she was getting ready to sew the borders on.
i think this will be a quilt i will have to make! and would be great for gifts!
i love stars too.

i made her work while visiting with me!

I came home with this and will show you later its a gift!!
and surprise i had spent enough over a few visits to get a 20.00 gift certificate!!

oh.. this was our day yesterday while i was out running my errands... i made a
big pot of veggi/beef soup when i got home! geez..
sun is shinning and its nice and clear but really cold today.

Enjoy your day my blog friends!!                      jody
