In this case, not. I haven't finished anything since the hat I did last week. Maybe it's because I am working on so many things at once? Could be. Or maybe it's because I am working on things that just take longer to finish than a baby hat? No matter, I am enjoying the making, … Continue reading Friday Finish or Not
The Snow Dudes might finally make an Appearance, along with real snow!
My OMG for January is The Snow Dudes. I am altering it a bit, to suit my space and vision. I cut my background longer and more narrow which meant the snowflakes would need to be reduced to 1.

Back in the Saddle Again
Or, rather, sewing chair. We are back home from our New Year's Festivities. We gather with old friends in our old neighborhood and act like old people. Which is to say, we eat, drink, play cards, watch the ball drop and then everyone packs up and goes home! LOL. Some of us wondered if we … Continue reading Back in the Saddle Again
