Yep, only 7 blocks to show you. It's slow going for me here. I've drawn out my sketch for the Valentine lap size quilt, but now I'm having second thoughts about it. I started here with the X's and O's (or hugs and kisses). I like the pink one in the right bottom corner......just a little tiny hug. I may even change the way I am doing these as they are starting to look more like funky boxes instead of O's. Time to take a breather.
The sun shone all day today! What a shocker! And it really wasn't that cold. The jacket of choice was my zip front fleece. Usually I have to wear my fat coat, as I call it, it's an overstuffed box stitched down coat the zips all the way up to the chin. Boy, that sun felt so good. The farmers were out clipping back the dead grapevines and putting them in neat little piles in each row.
In 2 short miles I came across 4 crucifixes all being just a little bit different from the next.
This picture was taken last fall and is the most different of all the crucifixes I have seen before, but this one is my favorite. Love the grapes and vines along the edges of this one. It's carved stone, not painted.
My son and hubby want to see the film "Beowulf", maybe I spelled it wrong, sorry. I am just not at all interested in this movie. My DH wanted to see the series "Rome", so I put them on my Netflix queue. It's just too brutal for me, so I haven't been watching that either.
I've been reading lately instead. My mother sent me a book on Menopause, "The Wisdom of Menopause" by Christiane Northrup, M.D., don't like that one. I don't have a closed mind about what she is trying to say, she's just too cynical for me. I've only read the first 100 pages, so maybe it will get better. I have 2 others I have been reading as well, "Menopause without Medicine" by Linda Ojeda, Ph.D. and "The New Menopause Book" edited by Mary Tagliaferri, M.D., Isaac Cohen, OMD, and Debu Tripathy, M.D. These 2 I am finding to be more resourceful which is what I want.
Sunset is gorgeous, so I'm going to go and try to capture it on my camera. Have a good day. :o)

wheee, your blocks are great. now loosen up and don't worry about how they are turning out. it's the overall effect you're after, not each block being perfect. I think they're marvelous and I love the colors. I just online ordered some of that fabric myself.
we've got some sun here - woohoo. hope it's come your way too.
Hi Sandy, thanks for the invite. Yes! I need scissors. Unfortunately, the only place i can pick as a vendor is amazon.com. Do you have any recommendations for books too? Nice simple ones, mind!
I love your blocks, btw, very inventive.
P.S. Why am I STILL up??)
