A change of gears

 This will be something else that will be destined for the Christmas box.  I thought I'd give THIS pattern a try and make a couple bookmarks.  I have one stitched and hope to do another before I start putting them together.


- THIS is a sweet design that would be perfect for a baby quilt.  

- I'm thinking I might make a couple of THESE to add to the Christmas box.  

- THIS might be good information to have on hand.

- There's lots of fun eye candy HERE.

- There might be some ideas HERE that you would like to try.

- If you're looking for a cute project to make for Easter, perhaps THIS little guy would be perfect.

    1. You'll get spring long before we do because it's going to take awhile for all the snow to melt. Easter Sunday is April 20th.

    2. That's about as late as Easter can be. Hope for warmer weather then.

    3. For sure! I suspect we'll have a lot of flooding when this snow melts though so it's likely going to get messy.

    I got a good laugh out of the story of your Mother's white Christmas Cactus. Thanks so much for sharing. I needed that.

  11. Anything works! Our favourite here is a giant paper clip which doesn't fall out when we fall asleep and drop our book (not that it ever happens...hah).

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.
