Paisley's for Hubbie

My husband, Fuzzy has loved paisleys since the 60's when he wore a paisley tie each day to Catholic High School. So for a surprise this year I created a piasley wall hanging for him with the blocks from the round robin I was in earlier this year. I could not find any black background paisley to surround the blocks, so I went with the peace sign motif.  A little busy for some people, but he loved it....

Fuzzy's Stocking

Here is the Christmas Stocking I made for my husband two years ago. I never posted it. I tried to include all his interests and likes on it: Baseball, paisley, photography, music and jazz, his dog, cooking, AA and me of course!

March is marching away.

I can't believe it is almost a month since I last posted. It has been a busy month, Fuzzy had a lot of doctor appointments and I worked a lot to make up for the time I took off. We were able to sneak away to Florida for 8 days. I attended a conference and Fuzzy was able to relax. We visited friends, went to an art fair, and attended baseball games. Hopefully we will be able to go back next year. Here is Fuzzy against a palm tree the day we left. When we returned to Michigan, we were greated with an ice storm!

Super Bowl/Super Spouse

For Super Bowl Sunday I found this cute embroidery design here. I embroidered my hubbie this sweatshirt to wear today. It was a stressful week, as we found out  that he is going in for heart surgery on Tuesday. He will have 3-4 heart bypasses. Prayers are appreciated.

Pat Metheny

My husband is a big fan of jazz guitarist, Pat Metheny. He was in concert last weekend, but seats were pretty expensive. A friend found a contest in the Lansing paper to win free tickets. Well, both he and I entered..... and I won the grand prize! Two great seats and the opportunity to meet him after the show.  Here is my smiling hubbie with his guitar hero. I took the picture or it would be a little clearer!

Polish Stonehenge

My back has been giving me problems over the past two years and I have not been able to plant some vegetables that I would like. My husband had the idea to make a raised garden so I wouldn't have to bend over as much. Of course being a recycler and free-thinker, he couldn't just do it like the magazine. So he had the idea to use cinder blocks and odd pieces of lumber... The result is what he refers to as his Polish Stonehenge. It won't be in Better Homes and Gardens, but it works. I have tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini planted. We found the scarecrow at a garage sale for 25cents....

Happy Halloween & Farewell to October
