Thank you Becky, for thinking of me.
I am to think of SIX unimportant things that make me happy!

I saw this post this morning and I've been thinking about it off and on throughout the day. It's a difficult question for me to answer.

I have two mothers that are both handicapped. My mother uses a walker/and wheelchair, and a my step-mother (who is bed ridden) has lost the use of her arms and legs....so Because of seeing the struggles of both of them...

Not much to me seems UNIMPORTANT!
I now know the importance of being able to WALK and explore.





I love to read, and I now know the importance of being able to turn the pages of a book

To be able to pick up a telephone and call a friend.

I don't like to shop, but I am glad that I am "physically" able to do so. To be able to hear a bird sing! (my step-Mother can't hear that through her nursing home window)

I could think of many more...

NOTHING IS UNIMPORTANT!

Hockey

Keeping in the masculine theme before Father's day...I'm posting a cross-stitch pillow that I made for my husband. He's a big Garfield fan and enjoys watching the Flyers play Hockey, so I took my Garfield cross-stitch and tried my best to make it look like he was wearing a Flyers Uniform.

My question for you...Have you ever played Hockey?

I played a little hockey in school during Gym class, and I have to tell you that I did NOT enjoy it.

Some info about Hockey

Boat card

I stitched this boat card to give to My mother who needed a masculine sympathy card.

"Dear God

Be Good to me...

The sea is so wide

And My boat so small..."

The stitching pattern came from Rosanna from COC, thank you

Puppy Challenge card for COC

I belong to a craft forum that has monthly challenges, and this is the card that I just entered into their "General" Monthly challenge. I used a photograph that I took of my granddaughter's puppy, Trixie. I call her my "GrandPUP", she's a sweetie. The theme for the challenge was Baby Animals.
