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 :)

ReplyDeleteLauren - 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!

ReplyDeleteI'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
