Sunflower placemats completed

Gosh , after a little over a week my sunflower kitchen table placemats are finished! I have learned several things like" being perfect is unattainable for me. : ) No matter how hard I tryed - perfect just did not happen.

I learned : having a idea all of your very own can become just as challenging as using a store-bought  pattern. I learned it can take a lot longer than you would ever dream.  But, I also learned that  the project should not be My main goal because it is the process that teaches you as you go along.

And last, but not least - I learned that just because I have sunflowers - does not mean that Summer is here  at all. LOL

I also learned that "puppy - kisses" can help you over come a lot of challenges.

I learned that sisters can be the total opposites.

I learned that finishing a project - no matter how far out field it seems you stray- is a nice satisfying feeling because I kept trying as hard as I could to finish my goal.The one in the back with bigger petals is to be the centerpiece.I wish I had a kitchen table to put them out on.

Tomorrow will make 3 weeks that I have had this "creeping crude" -but I am hoping that it will go away because I am not coughing that terrible deep  hacking cough as much today! Yea! I love that! : 0

Well, my next goal is a birthday shirt for a 'virtual sister". Boy, time is running out for me - I did not realize it was so close?? Where in the world did Jan. and Feb. go to??????????? Just think if those two are already gone -that Christmas is just 10 months away!!!!!!!!!!!

I also got our hardwood floors cleaned today and I am always proud of that. I think the floors are the prettiest thing in our teeny little house-probably because DH installed them . That was quiet a Learning Experience for me! That is a Lot of work. : )
