Snuggles and silkies and songs at bedtime for Greta Rosie. Instead of noonies.

My doctor says that my progesterone is dipping again, even with the shots

I'm getting twice a week. Hopefully it will help some for my body to be

getting a rest from nursing. Rosie has done wonderfully; an explanation

and some hymn-singing was all it took for her to go to sleep. I am so

grateful!

Afternoon Sweet-face snuggles and napping

Rosie needs lots of snuggles this week. She's had some sort

of virus and is sniffly and has a bad cough. (Fever, ears, etc.)

Putting the finishing touches on a granny square ottoman cover for Mama.

We're letting her use our rocker and footstool for the next several months.

We don't have a great space for them, and she'll need a comfortable place

to recover from surgery. Her cancer has returned after eight years, and

surgery is scheduled for this Friday. Its seems that there is a fairly

simple treatment for it, but it will take the better part of this year to

deal with. The granny pattern is Attic24's again, and the

colors should match Mama's kitchen beautifully. I will have to post pictures

of it in it's new surroundings, maybe they'll be over on her blog when we get

a chance to take some. :)

Sewing a new denim skirt with some great heavy-weight denim.

It has a mind of its own yet but will soften enough in time,

and it has room for my expanding belly. :) It is so fast to

sew...four simple gores and elastic & drawstring waist.

The longest part was sewing the ribbon onto the bottom

by hand. The ribbon is so lovely: gold with maroon and

pink rosebuds. I never can make up my mind whether

I'm trying to be medieval or a hippie. I just love long skirts.

They're so comfortable and comforting to me.
