Word Up progress report

I had fun with these letters. Thinking my word up and intuition projects will be combined.  Sadly my only snack so far has been tylen0l and r0bitussin.

I'm joining in the fun at Charming Chatter for a Word Up Sewing Party.

Blind as a bat....help please

Blind as a bat without my eyeglasses.....been wearing them for 50+ years.....almost my whole life. I've had progressive lenses for about 10 years .... I can read and work on the computer and do almost everything fine....except....hand sewing!  My eye doctor assured me my new glasses would cure that problem....he was wrong! I'm trying to work on a sampler for grandbaby and there is no position where I can see clearly and sew.  I have eyestrain this morning from looking under my glasses to stitch last night. I know there has to be a remedy for this ..... please share.

puppymania

We rescued a skinny,pitiful dog that was dumped in my daughter's neighborhood. We got a surprise! Nine puppies! My son is keeping the mama and having her spayed, but we need to find loving homes for the pups. I think the Carolina Bully Rescue will help, but thought I would get a headstart looking for homes. They really are beautiful puppies.

mystery solved

Vintage Toadstools

I was digging through a bin of fabric and found these darling pink toadstools. The fabric is 36" wide and has no manufacturer info. I thought gnomes as soon as I saw it and went searching online. Oh my goodness I missed that boat....a fat quarter of Heather Ross pink gnomes was $12!!! Now I'm thinking some  $4 a yard kona will do nicely. Pink and green? Pink and orange? 

One of these things is not like the other...one of these things just doesn't belong.....notice anything unusual in this tote bag full of scraps?
