Filling in

Today I have filled in three sections on block three...




It seems I'm living proof that things happen in three's (and I'm not talking about the embroidery examples above!!).  First, I managed to break a piece off a tooth....then I noticed the band on my watch was hanging by a mere thread....and then I cracked the glass cover on our old mantel clock while I was changing the battery.  I think that should be it for awhile!!

Today the quote is from Hans Hansen...."It takes nothing to join the crowd.  It takes everything to stand alone"

  2. So sorry to hear that you broke a tooth! Drat getting old!! LOL. But look on the bright side - at least you're not in the USA now! (Hey, can we trade Trump for Justin Trudeau?)

  6. You're great at finding links. I am impressed at the knot and bead one. Easy when you know how! That's a clever piece of engineering.

  7. 3 things happening like that is definitely enough. Glad you didn't lose your watch!

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
