The last couple of weeks have been interesting to say the least. I have been helping a friend who had surgery and then went back into the hospital after a sudden scare with his heart. Good news there, he is doing well. There are still a number of things he simply can't do, as he cannot bear weight on his foot. So I am helping. Of course this falls on top of my regular duties helping Mom and just "visitin'" with her. Last evening we went out to supper and did a little shopping.
I am not complaining at all; just trying to explain why my usual posting has changed. I am enjoying caring for them both. (Hey, I like feeling needed!) However, when I have some down time, I do like to just have some being time, time to rest and refresh. Hence, not much else gets done.
However, I did take an hour to sew out two little book marks (see I did get back to that!)

Anyway, one of these is a "semi-surprise" for a friend -said friend sometimes reads this blog. The other was made with a thought in mind. I haven't done any swaps in a while. So here is my proposal:
If you have something you would like to offer to swap for the extra one, tell me what it is (and if you can, a picture would be nice.) Tell me which of these you would prefer to get. ( the surprise can wait a bit, and I don't care which I send to the surprisee.) Due to postage this is USA only.
I will leave this open a day or so and post the results when it is closed.
CLOSED! I decided to trade with Donna for the book. I love the idea of trading a bookmark for a book. Ha ha. It has a certain irony to it that I find amusing.

Have you ever read a book you like so much that you want to give it away so someone else can read it and laugh too? I've got "Stash Envy and Other Quilting Confessions & Adventures" up for grabs.
That is just like you always doing for others...what a blessing you are to your mom and friend. Love the book marks.
I don't think I have anything that you'd want for a swap...but I did want to say I think those bookmarks are lovely. I know what you are going through, as I maintain two households, too. Get some "me" time, my friend, and take care!
You do such beautiful work, Gene! Your friend will be so happy! I KNOW I don't have anything you would want to swap! Ha! Your Mom and friend are so lucky to have you help them! You've got such a big heart! :)
I have loved these bookmarks since you posted about them earlier. So pretty and delicate. I am sure your friend will be thrilled with either of them. Unfortunately I have nothing trade as I am still in the collecting mode!
I hope your friend is doing better, your family and friends are so blessed to have you!
