The Weekend

The weekend is here. I made it….. with a horrific cold. First one of the winter, so I can’t complain. Work was quiet, so I suffered peacefully alone. Decided I had to work it out of my system, so Ransom and I hit the woods. The snow is down to inches--- from feet---so I really have to start learning the markings versus just footprint path in the snow--- Fun Stuff.
I am up to date on My Baskets of Life Block of the Month.
Even though the colors are warm, they don’t look like winter to me.
I have a teaching seminar for Sunday School tomorrow. I tried to bow out of it, but they want me--- germs and all. And I will be glad I went, once I get there. Plus I can stitch, on the two hour drive up and back.

Gratitudes:
Kleenex—the lotion kind
Nyquil –it does every thing the commercials say it does
Ransom who is not scared of catching anything

Your baskets look great. I love how they are hanging outside with the snow in the picture. Take care of yourself.

I have told you this before but I am going to say it again. I love the way you choose to photograph your projects outdoors. The colors used in the blocks look wonderful against the white snow.
Don't use those tissues with lotion to wipe eye glasses. What a greasy mess!

Judy said...

Oh they look so great. I made a deal that I couldn't start these until I finished the 4 seasons and now I fear I am getting so behind. But I am just about the finish the other and I can't wait to get started on one of the baskets! I'll catch up, they are too good not to drive into!

You've done a great job!

Take care and wrap up warm on your trip to the seminar on Sunday. Keep your tissues close at hand, your stitching even closer and they time will whizz by.

This is my first visit and I enjoyed it. I think the sound of a wood screen door opening and closing is one of my all-time favorite sounds!
