OOPS :)




I really shouldn't plan to give away a hooked mat that has not been completed.  I got the hooking part done, but of course the binding is not yet on.  I really do have a good excuse.  Or two.  Or three. Work, work, work.  I had to work late Friday because of snow.  I also worked Saturday and today, not because of snow, but because of annual reports.  On Friday I was told they are due this Thursday.  ACK!  I was still several months behind on my data entry, so I spent my weekend entering daily reports.  Can you say boring?  Every year I promise myself I will not get behind, but every year I do.  So much for my promises {sigh}.  The data entry is done but I must now compile the reports.  Hopefully that won't be too bad.  So anyway, the winner of the heart mat must be patient and give me a couple days to "finish" it.  Gayle, (The Middle Sister), can you please do that?  Thanks to all who entered.  I am humbled by my blog friends who would like to win one of my mats.  {This is showing up way too orange on my monitor.  Trust me, it's not!}


Ellie's mom is doing a bit better.  Her C Diff is still contagious, but she is out of the hospital and back in to rehab.  Please keep her in your prayers.  I did sneak Ellie in to the hospital while she was there, but now that she is back at the nursing home, we can visit on a regular basis.  Pet therapy is wonderful!

Ellie loves to burrow under the covers at night.  Here she is this morning after I got up.  I think she's making herself quite at home.




Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pugless hugs :)

Ellie is such a cutie! My kitty loves to burrow under the covers like that. Glad her mommy is doing better. :-) Just this morning my son was talking about his eagle scout project and wanting to start a Hug A Pug program at hospitals. :-)

Lauren - I'm SOOOO excited to have been chosen the winner of your generous giveaway - I love how this little heart mat isn't done in the traditional red & white - makes it much more versatile and usable year round. Can't wait to receive it in the mail. Thanks so much!

Congratulations Gayle on winning a Lauren's beautiful heart rug.
I'm glad that Ellie's mom is doing better and Ellie is looking quite t home in your bed. How nice that you can go visit her mom often.

I hope that you get caught up on the year end reports... I'm the same way. I'm still filing papers and I'm dragging my feet a bit but I'm much more organized than last year and I'm ahead a bit. Next year I think that I'll even will be a bit better organizes as I bought 2 more of those plastic towers drawers for filing papers at the thrift store and I even found a grey wool skirt. Have a great week.
Hugs
