Today is the final day, and my day of the Time in a Bottle Blog Hop, hosted by Carol @ Just Let Me Quilt. She is one of the three ladies, including Carla @ Creatin in the Sticks and Joan @Moosestash Quilting who come up with the greatest blog hops! Thanks so much Carol for another wonderful hop. I have the entire schedule listed below.
The challenge for this blog hop was to make something with an hourglass block in it. From the very first, the lyrics of Jim Croce's Time in a Bottle kept going through my mind. My husband and I loved Jim Croce, and John used to play some of his songs on his guitar.
This song is still going through my mind.
So I decided I wanted to have a bottle, with part of the lyrics inside, and put the hourglass blocks around it.
I searched around on the internet for an SVG of a bottle, and a scroll that I could print part of the lyrics on and place inside the bottle, so I could cut them out on my Cricut.
I finally came up with this. I wanted a darker green for the bottle, but I am trying to work from my stash, so I used what I had.
I made some tabs up at the top so I could hang it from my FRESH hanger.
These lyrics to the song are especially meaningful to me this year, as my husband passed away the end of April last year. We were together 49 years, married 45, and he was the love of my life. I'll always wish I had just one more day to spend with him.
Thanks again Carol for another fun hop, and challenging me! Be sure and visit the other bloggers and see what they have come up with.
