Too many memories. I didn't have the strength to deal with them. My daughter made a comment of the things she dreaded to do if something happened to me. It made me start thinking. I knew it was time for me to deal with those boxes. I had to harden my heart and do it one box at a time. I have so many boxes of photographs. My goodness.
One of the things I did was go through the boxes of my I guess you would call my portfolio of past rugs.
My goodness, when I was selling all of my rugs, I sold some cute rugs. I thought it might be fun to go back and rehook those that I don't have anymore. I was surprised how many rugs were of my own design. I ended up thinking about why and when I stopped doing that. The only cupboard I haven't taken a good look at is my rug cupboard. I really need to deal with that one. I go through it every season when I change out rugs for the house. So I do get into it more than the other ones. I also am always checking to make sure moths don't find it. I have this fear that all of this work I have done will end up at Good Will. I have boxes of counted cross stitch things I have never done anything with. Finished ones, except not framed or turned into cute things. If it means sewing.
I used to do a Thankful Thursday post, in my ancient blogging days. I think on this Thursday I am thankful for JOY. I can't wait to wake up every morning to see what kind of special gifts are around every corner for me.

I'd love to see photos of some of the rugs you hooked and sold, if you have any pictures of them. I've only re-hooked one rug that I sold although I'd been tempted to hook more of them. Truth is there are so many rugs I haven't hooked which is on my list so they would be first up to be hooked. Enjoy your holiday weekend.
