Mug rug.

Lots of good things here.

 One of them , there are others.

Ray had to go to the pain clinic today and they stuck needles in him. He said it hurt, so I guess you go to the pain clinic to get pain LOL.
We went to the library on the way home and I got a book by Erica Spindler and one of two sisters in Paris , one of whom became the 14 year old model for Edgar Degas. She was an orphan and had to make a living for herself. So she posed for him.
Sculpture of a 14 year old girl.

Degas painted mostly ballet dancers, and horses. Look him up . You will see many ballet dancers, women bathing and horse racing. Not many men in his art nor much in the way of landscapes. I do enjoy his work. Actually I enjoy all the impressionist artists as well as the old Dutch masters.

Ray went into the grocery store and I sat with Margaret and 2 of her friends. When Ray was finished we came home. He has been busy ever since decorating the door to the apartment. I'll take a picture of it when he is done. The light is bad in the hall so the picture won't be very good.

I have been working on my blog. It takes me so much time to find the pictures I want to use. I really need to go through them and delete many of my photos.
Mother and daughter engaged in sewing together. I love this picture of a child and mother working with each other.

This would be an easy mug rug  to make .

I laughed at this one. Amy sent a page of Scotties and this was on the page.


Look for more Scotties on Pinterest, there are a lot of pictures. 

Like this one. I remember that President Roosevelt had a Scottie named Fala. 

Haha a bit too close for comfort even if it is friendly.

Winter looks good but is way too cold.

Free pattern from Pat Sloan on using up your scraps.

Nothing to say.

How do you like this arrangement?

Time is up folks.
Have a great evening.
Good night.
