Project 366- June 9, 2008



When I get to work at 7:30am it takes me a few minutes to want to see anyone or talk to anyone. Usually I psyche myself up for it and after the first greeting it is no problem to see numerous faces come and go. Today was not so. I had a case of the "Monday blues." I wasn't necessarily sad, I just didn't really have any desire to make conversation and smile and be cheery and all. It was a good day to sit in the back office and enter mindless numbers into a spreadsheet.

Amidst the dreariness of the mood a ray of sun shone through as I remembered some prayer requests for the day. I went on to pray for the patients in the waiting room and the ones who would be soon to arrive. It was a freeing type of prayer and I felt a little cheerier afterward.

I went against my penny pinching wisdom and drove home for lunch. I'm so glad that I did. The kids, mom and I took a picnic lunch of tuna sandwiches out to the lawn. The sun was so warm that I just wanted to roll out of the cool shade and curl up in its embrace. Alas, I had to return to work.

The Lord is faithful this I'm sure and He cheered me even in a dreary day.

Finish It Up Friday...Scrappy Triangle Shag Rug

Image
UPDATE: Several people have asked about this rug. One specifically asked about how I folded my prairie points. So here are some step by step pictures.  I started with a 4 inch square. Fold that square in half diagonally.  Fold the point up away from the fold at the center towards the other side.  Fold the other side up across in the same way. A friend sent me a picture on facebook of a rug. It was a cute rug she saw at a newborn photography class. I took on the challenge of recreating that rug. I was a bit surprised to not find anything like it online.  I did finally find a variation of prairie points to use when folding and ironing.  I did a lot of folding and ironing.  I took 4 inch squares folded them in half and then folded the sides overlapping to create more of an acute angle to the triangle. I started with a 30 inch circle made from some denim and just started sewing them on...around and around.  I was amazed at how many times...

Finish It Up Friday...Pink Triangle Shag Rug!

Image
I made this scrappy rug back in 2016 for a childhood friend who does fabulous photography! Check our her work: www.katrinaleephotography.com  or on Facebook . She was able to put it to use for this precious baby photo shoot!  After she posted it another friend of mine saw it and requested a pink, cream and gray rug for her coming granddaughter!  Thanks so much for the shoutout Katrina! It was already a week or so into January and she wanted it by February 1st...so I got crackin'!  You can see how I made the first one HERE .  It is fun to see these last photos in a row and watch it grow.  I'm not a big pink fan, but I did end up having plenty of pinks for this rug.  Not having to go buy fabric sped up the process.  I want one for myself now! So fun!  I struggled to get the center right once again.  I sewed it into a swirl thinking it looked a bit like a rose.  The gal who ended...
