I had borrowed my son's computer chair to roll around the upstairs, so my regular chairs got moved out of the way. Poor kitty wasn't happy about not being able to get on my table [hadn't been able to clear it off], so she sat here for the longest time, glaring at me....
Poor thing. My friend O'faigh had a "name the bunny" contest on her blog, she made the cutest prim rabbit and I suggested Dimity, after the Aunt Dimity series of books. In the book, the heroine has a stuffed bunny that Dimity made and O'faigh's bunny reminded me of the books. Look what O'faigh sent to thank me...so darling....
The cutest needle-felted purse, and a Christmas panel that is destined to become a table runner.
Look at these little flowers, aren't they sweet?
Thanks O'faigh, I love it!
The Quilting Gallery is having a Quilts For Mom contest this week. I entered one I made for my mum a few years ago for Mother's Day...
There are some really, really gorgeous quilts there, and you can vote for FOUR this week. I'd love you to vote for mine, but only if you like it enough to want to - go browse and vote for your favorites, you'll be astounded at the talent and the stories. Link is here.
Finally, I came across this picture this week and it reminded me of that big spider dangling from my hair....
Have a great weekend, and Happy Mother's Day!

So glad you are doing better sweets. Love the quilt you made for your mum and love the photo of the dog. Too darn funny!
This post made me smile ~ from start to finish! It sounds like you haven't been well but are recovering, for which I'm glad to hear. Your quilt is lovely ~ fingers crossed you win :)))
I'm really glad your foot is mending. Love the little bag giftie too. What is it about cats that they think they own the sewing room???
glad you are walking...enjoyed your post, lots of fun stuff.
Glad you're up and around again. Happy Mother's Day to you.
HAHAHAHAHA Hermione DOES look annoyed, doesn't she? Zoomer gets that look when I won't give him more food when he wants it, argh. He basically has the look about 23 out of 24 hours per day - this whole "cat on a diet" thing is evil!! Sweet purse and panel, and your quilt is gorgeous - I went and voted for you :)
That is the cutest little purse. Glad to hear your walking. That's a step in the right direction. hee hee. Love your mom quilt.
So glad you are feeling a little better! Hope you continue to heal. I love the little woolie you got! Such cute flowers. I've never heard of Diminity.....
Wonderful quilt for your mom, just saw it on the site while I was looking. I think yours exemplifies the theme and a special piece for your mom.

That is THE cutested felted purse...the flowers are adorable. Hope you feel better ASAP.
Wow, a lot happens when I don't check in. Hope your foot is better soon. Must have been pretty bad to keep you off your feet. Sending much sympathy your way.
Hope you have a lovely Mother's Day!
Glad to know that your feet are better.
Glad to hear you are on the mend, my friend, Keep well :)
My ribber weights keep trying to crush my feet, I swear they fall off the knitting machine for no apparent reason other than to cause me pain :(
*hugs* Heather x
I voted for your quilt, Allie!
Glad to hear you're recovering from your dreadful spider accident. But won't that mean the end of being waited on?
OH, I do love the close up of those little wool flowers.
So glad to hear you are doing better.
I voted for your quilt!!
Happy Mother's Day.
That's a wonderful felted purse. What a nice prize that is! Congratulations on being ambulatory again!
Voted!! Hermoine is ADORABLE on the chair, sorry she steels the post!! The felting on the purse is great, the doggie picture is too funny.....OMG!! your foot!! I was relieved to see that it was only a week's worth of postings! Glad you are all better (or getting better) now, the baskets....Can't wait to see it finished!!!!
That dog bding held is just too funny!! Especially with that caption. Happy Mother's Day to you too.
I'm so glad to hear that you're starting to improve. Not being able to walk is a real pain, in more ways than one! But now you can say "that's how I roll, folks!" hee hee!
Love that dog picture! And I totally understand about the spider. Ick!
Your Mom's Day quilt is so great! Love that photo of you and your Mom. How sweet! But sorry, I think I missed the voting. :(
Hi Allie, your cat is so sweet even when he scowls. I love your Mothers Day quilt. Great felted purse. I have been reading through the Aunt Dimity series. I love it.
Glad you're up and around!
Hope you are getting better everyday!!! Praying for you.
