We went to the studio before the holiday…(my window is the top right)
…up the 17 stairs…
into the studio to rehang after the nice paint job by Dayna and Tory…what a gift…
…the south wall…
the west wall
and we did the other two, leaving the work space for a later date
and we rushed off exhausted for sustenance
meanwhile the quilting is coming along quickly with so much time on my hands…finished the rescue quilt…
finished the ugly fabric challenge quilt for quilt group next week…
started the bird quilt…
and then off to the holiday at Zach and Ashton’s…
…where Doug carved…
…and there were toasts…
and Ashton surprised R with the first birthday cake of the RPH “birthday season” (he believes it extends until 12th night…)
which he shared…
and this week, the actual birthday, things really begin to return to normal around here. We’ve been missing this guy…
See you Thursday Sidney!
On The Way 
Dear Bonnie, You certainly know how to “turn the corner!” All those steps…? Brave woman. Your studio paint job is perfect! We are jealous. White white white is boring.
Is that deep shade “Porpoise”? Pictures couldn’t look better than aglow on a throaty depth of dusk. Good you are out and about once again.
Thanks San…yep, porpoise it is. xxoo
love seeing Sydney’s “friend” peeking out of jacket. .)other ‘stuff” good , too……………………
. .
Thanks Nadine…Bunny is certainly a family member!
Another lovely blog full of family and love. Oh, and good food and drinks.
Boy we missed you and your onions Irene…xxoo
But how did it feel going back down those steps? Sounds like you are making a great recovery!
Oh Linnea I think you can imagine exactly how it felt. It isn’t so much “hurt” as just awkward discomfory?
Oh, happy days. So encouraging to see you getting back into your routine and into your studio (which looks lovely with your art on the walls once again).
Oh Dayna, what an act of compassion to paint those dirty white walls…though maybe it was a way for you two to have fun? Not that you need a project for that…anyway, I’m grateful and anxious to get back to work. The time between Thanksgiving and CHristmas is usually down time for me, but look out January 2! xo
Looking at all those steps made my knees hurt…you are a brave girl. And what a wonderful paint job. Guess ya know who loves ya? Oh but, we all do!!! Lucky for you some of your friends put their love into action.
And Sidney….have missed that charming lil charecter.
Hi Shirley…we had to shirk our daycare responsibility while in recovery mode, but were mighty glad to see him again. His face is sunshine to me. xo
You know those quilts are lovely in my eyes! Sidney with the little stuffed animal tucked in his shirt is priceless.
So many steps, yay!
Nice to see Sidney’s face.
We really missed him…we resume daycare this Thursday!
