(http://www.marysburton.com) She did a series of rugs with vignettes from her childhood, which remind me of yours. I can't wait to see yours finished!

Never have I found your writing boring. I...Hi honey<br />Never have I found your writing boring. I always enjoy my visits with you refreshing and interesting.<br />Your ornaments are one of a kind and their beautiful. I have one of these painted from the inside and it amazes me to think of someone capable of making something this remarkable but then look at you and your gorgeous rugs.<br />Especially the one your doing now of your memories. I love seeing these pic's of your rug almost as much as I love seeing your little James. All most I said. haha<br />This rug does fascinate me and I think it is so beautiful. I love that your doing it and sharing it with us.<br />I so need to start being creative again. I think that is one reason I get depressed is I am not creating anything worthwhile.<br />Hope your staying warm. I think of you so often.<br />Oh if you want boring you can read my post tonight. I actually received a bad comment from someone about my writing the post. I feel really bad that they are a reader of mine and took this post as me being mean. Come by and see if you take it that way. I sure did not mean it to be.<br />Love<br />MaggieGrandma Yellow Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917551672825097342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-56077375546710253032013-01-15T14:10:00.814-04:002013-01-15T14:10:00.814-04:00Wow!
