The dog is done!
Minus the backing....
Willie Nelson
The birthday gift for friend Sandy.
He is 8x13”.
Hand cut #6 strips.
I think she will like him.
I get more creative when I can’t go out and shop.
So here is how we will celebrate Sandy’s 60th Sunday:
I’ll give her a call and ask her to sit on her front stoop.
A “parade” of cars with friends will troop by her house.
The cars will bear signs of celebration and each
will pause to leave a gift (and a roll of tp) on her lawn.
Keeping distance is not the best way to celebrate
but it’s one she won’t forget.
Today...
Even in this time when days blur together hubby
and I have a Friday schedule.
We have wine on the sunny deck at 4,
supper of apps later on and then we watch
a movie or two with our dog and cat.
Yes, they both like tv.
I’m trying to balance mourning a life that won’t
soon be the same for a while with things that
soothe me: walks, hooking, fam connections, prayer...
Most days I don’t feel balanced but my friends don’t either
So maybe this is normal.
I don’t find it hard to concentrate
But sometimes it’s hard to breathe
♥️♥️♥️

What a wonderful job on Willie! I am sure she will love it. The new normal for us is coffee together every morning then we go to what ever each of us is working on.after dinner we walk every night then some tv.We all do what we can I think.

Happy Birthday to your friend. What a thoughtful jester to have friends parade in from of her house with signs while keeping distance.
The Willie rug looks great.
Hugs, Julia
Fantastic work on Willie Nelson, your friend will cherish that. How sweet all her friends will have a parade pass by her house and funny about the toilet paper. You're right, she'll remember this birthday forever.
Yes she will- our Hope was to go for a girls’ cottage weekend. Someday!
Thanks J! We’ve been so blessed in NB with low virus numbers!
Funny how we are creatures of routine. It feels safe. Stay well!
Willie is just too stinkin' cute.
Love the parade for your friend. Gifts and a roll of tp. A birthday to remember.
I know what you mean about not feeling balanced. For me it is an anxious feeling. I hope and pray that this will soon be under control. I feel I am one of the lucky ones. Other than sheltering in place, my life really hasn't changed and for that I am most thankful.
Take good care.
How cute! Stay safe. Soon this will all be over.Janice
That is so cute, she is going to love it and the car parade. A lot of people are doing this for kids and dropping off presents as they drive by. Sometimes I find it hard to live without doing the things I love, which is getting out with the boys and camping trips are being cancelled.

All my friends complain of either a heaviness as soon as they wake or anxiety in general. You take care too!!
Yes our rv trips from last year seem like a distant dream...
So sweet! Your friend is going to remember this Birthday for soooooo many reasons! And you are certainly doing your part of making most of those reasons happy! :-)
I find it's good to keep a schedule of sorts during these days...it keeps some sense of normal in the home...Be safe and stay well! Hugs!
