yesterday, after getting the den turned into a guestroom, I put a quilt on the bed for when my Ottawa daughter arrives;-)…

today, this memory came up on my Facebook page… it was from eleven years ago when her friends came and redid my bedroom… it was a wonderful gift as shortly after that I had surgery and spent a lot of time in the bedroom…

too funny that I chose that particular quilt;-)… and a reminder of that wonderful gift…

my sofa had a blanket on it for most of the winter…

when the weather changed, I used the back of the handmade quilt produced by my friends on it…

the reason for the covering involves two pillows I have put on the sofa so that it isn’t so deep…

now I’ve used two pillowcases and pinned them to the back cushions…

think I like it…

finally took the time to move the table behind the sofa in the den…

it sounds simple, but involved moving the table into the hall, pushing the sofa (and carpet) to the side of the room, getting the table past the edge of the sofa, and then putting everything back, lol…

got it all done, found a quilt to put on the table and sat down to recuperate from all that exercise;-)…

looks good…

I have a most beautiful quilt on my bed…

  
it began as pieces of fabric which individuals wrote on at the party given for me after I left my last job… from there a small group of amazingly talented women spent time piecing together the fabric and putting a border around it and backing the whole thing…

it is a real work of art and is filled with inspirational thoughts for me to look at and remember…

  
I don’t always have it on the bed, but have been enjoying it for the last few months…

  
has brought to mind so many who I know who are struggling with their work situations… hoping that positive thoughts and check-ins will be of some support during their difficult times…

some are not happy in what they are doing, others are searching for the right job, still others are trying to decide what to do at this particular stage of their life…

  
still remember the struggle when I was out of work and how difficult the process of finding something was… I didn’t just want a job, I was looking for a calling…

had a lot of support thoughout the process and eventually moved into an excellent position which was just the right fit for me, but getting there was a process…

also contains the words of my dear beloved, who never waivered in his support…

  
truly an amazing remembrance of ten years of my life and the great people I was able to spend time with…
