PART SATURDAY--PART MONDAY!!!!!

I am behind---I had some pictures ready and a post 'written' in my head for Saturday--but of course I got the "dreaded" phone call about my Mary before I got it done--

Sooo---first I want to say--

to all of my great and wonderful blog friends who have been praying for Mary, Her family and for Me---you will never know how much this has meant to me and to Mary if she could say so she would---bless you all!

During the day Saturday I cleaned out a dresser--it had 5 big drawers--and now I only have two of them with some things in them--and they will be getting new homes as I plan to sell the dresser!!!

I found this in the dresser--

I have had this box forever--at least since High School--so it is now about 45 years old!!

It has this lock and a key--but long long ago (sounds like the start of a story to me??)

the latch broke--so that is how I open it--yet it always looks locked!!!

I pretty much know what is in here--it's been the same things now for a long time--

for one thing--these baby shoes are in it in a plastic bag--these shoes are 42 years old---yep--they where on my daughter's shower cake for decoration--I carefully took them off and put them on a plate--later I cleaned the extra frosting off and put them away---NOW--the big thing about these shoes ---- they are made out of "sugar"--yep--sugar!!!!

When the kids where little I ordered a set of silverware with their names on them--I still have both of the folks and knifes--as you can see--but for whatever reason--both spoons are missing!!!

I added this regular spoon a few years ago--as it has the initial "R" on it--my Mom's first name was Ruth!!  and I think that little set was a set my Mom had??

And I have my graduation tassel and my daughter's--her's is the gold one!!

So this is my treasure chest!!

Now for Today--Monday

Between 1am and 2 am this morning I got the rest of April's FFF all stitched--Annie--

And now I am working on Stitching a block of the Bouquet from Jenny for April--and while I was doing the "dreaded" laundry I got another yellow baby hat knitted!!!

I did 3 big loads of wash today---so now maybe I can wait -- let's see--a month or two before I have to do the "dreaded" laundry again--especially if I turn all my clothes inside out and wear them that way a couple times!!!!!

Today's picture is this---

My goodness ---what is it--

Maybe it is a "tiny" space ship that has landed in the lot across the street---it sure does "glow"?????   

actually it is a piece of "glass" that the sun is hitting just right---I just had to get up and take a picture of it!!!!

And here is my OPAM challenge for

May---

Making a couple of these for my "trip"!!!!

This is another project from a Tilda book.

Well--that's all for today---can't wait for the next couple days and then my orders should be coming in!!!!!

Bless you all

hugs, Di
