During the course of my physical therapy sessions with Jenna, I've learned that she's engaged and they're planning a wedding next year. With that in mind, can you guess what I've started working on for her?
I know that I'll have it completed well before our last session together the end of September, but I wanted to pull colors and at least set up the project long before then, so I have plenty of time to pace myself.
I didn't do much else yesterday. I did pull thirteen one-gallon bags of frozen San Marzano tomatoes and organized them on trays (still in the bags) to thaw. Once they're ready, I'll start the homemade Rotel™ and salsa. I decided it was best to save up my energy, because that's going to be a marathon canning session once I get started...most likely tomorrow.
In the meantime, I'm going to continue my needlework pursuits and see what I can get done today. I'll share more tomorrow.
I can't guess, but it's going to be sparkly!

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteSparkly, for sure! I'm working on a new "Something Blue" wedding brooch for my therapist. I hope she'll love it. Happy Weekend, dear!

Another lovely heart?! She will be sure to be delighted! So happy to see you getting back to creative endeavors... did your Mojo return? 😊
ReplyDeleteHi Lois:
DeleteYes! Blue with silver. I think it's all coming back. I'm happy about that, too. I've missed it, but sitting in a chair where I was completely upright was uncomfortable before now.
I hope you have a great day!
xoxo

Whatever it is, it's going to be so pretty with all those sparkles. Perhaps a ring pillow or a garter?
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteI'm working on another wedding brooch, but I like the way you think! I may have to work on an idea for a ring bearer's pillow for my Etsy shop! Thanks for the inspiration.
Hugs,

Implementing new projects – what could be better?
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, Viola
And yes, I'd like to see it someday. Hug
Hi Viola!
DeleteWelcome to the comment section. I'm always excited to begin something new. I'll be making another "Something Blue" Wedding Brooch using my goldwork supplies. They're so much fun to work with, and having a sprakling gem at the end is always rewarding. I promise to share it when I'm finished. Hope you'll be back to see it soon.
Hugs,
xoxo

Sherryofcreateology: Yay! Just looking at your beaded treasures is exciting. Maybe a beaded heart like the one i bought for my daughter’s wedding that you created? Marathon canning sounds like a major workout for you and your knee. Rest today and enjoy this cooler weather.
ReplyDeleteHi, Sherry:
DeleteYES! I'm doing another wedding brooch. Although each one is a bit different, you know what I'll be working on. My knee gets tired when I'm canning, but I really take it easy afterward with elevating it and adding a little "iced TLC". The weather is perfect for my taste, so there's usually a little nap in the sunshine in the agenda, too.
Happy Thursday, dear.

Oh I bet your therapist will be delighted with your gift. Don't work too hard canning. It was so dry here that I did not have enough to do. Did roast some tomatoes with garlic and herbs and olive oil. The kitchen smelled yummy! Well have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie:
DeleteI hope she'll love it. I'm pacing myself with the canning so I don't overdo it. Just the thought of your roast tomato melangé sounds like bliss. Oh, my goodness. That's how I'm planning to make my pizza sauce this year. Yum! Hope you have a great day, too, dear.
Hugs,
xoxo
