What to say....

Mom has been in a rehab facility since last Monday night since leaving the hospital. She needs to get better at walking and taking care of herself. Unfortunately she had another setback on Thursday when she was diagnosed with c-diff. This is a highly contagious infection that requires isolation and a second antibiotic. It probably was a result of the first antibiotic. Prayers are obviously still welcome. I think Mom has a long way to go before she can go home.

I was happily knitting a scarf while sitting with her that I now have to throw out so that I don't risk spreading the infection. Ugh! Better safe than sorry though. 

I did finish knitting another one of the Operation Gratitude Scarves at home so that one is safe to donate.

I won't be starting any more as now my time will be really limited what with school and university starting next week.

I found a little time to spend on another craft this week. I was desperately looking for something quick and easy that would occupy my mind and hands and this was it.

 I found this neat craft to make these cork pumpkins. You can find a tutorial here.

Hubby and I like a glass of wine every once in a while.....or with dinner....whichever happens more often. As a result I have quite a large cork collection.

Believe me there are plenty more where those came from. This is enough to make three pumpkins.

Ta-da!. They look pretty good don't they. The only thing I had to buy was the felt for the leaves....all of 39 cents.

The little house in Santa's sack got its chimney and I added a gift. 

I don't know whether I will get any stitching done today as I need to visit my Mom and make a bunch of meals for the week ahead while Hubby and our son are enjoying a round of golf. It is nice that our son is visiting this weekend. It keeps my mind occupied when I am home.

I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. She asked us to share a photo of where we stitch when the weather is nice so here is where I sit on my front porch. I usually have a cup of tea or coffee with when the sun is not too hot.

Pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are stitching and where. I may try to work on Santa's Sack if there is time.

Thanks for stopping by!
