I REALLY WAS BUSY --

 This past week--but when I went to download the photos for the week--

Well--there doesn't seem to be alot of them ---hummm????

I have wanted to do these '12' ornament designs in wools for awhile now--

so decided this year I would do one design each month and the above snow people are for January--and I will probably do 2 of each design--one for me and one for a gift--as I am not sure how I want to finish them--I am just appliqueing them to a 4 1/2" square for now!!--and those pockets on the Jackets are very tiny!!!  I have a nice tote of wools--so am good to go!!!

And I did get Melisa's Januarys heart block embordered--

It took me a while--3 weeks-- to decide how I wanted to stitch these monthly hearts--  I have decided I needed to do a project using my Wildflower embroider threads--so will pick 2 shades of a color for each months stitching--plus white and maybe black!!  and I have not decided if I will leave it on the white background or if I will cut around this heart and applique it to a colored fabric--hummm????

And I did get #3 of the Gingerbread sal from Melisa done--

And this morning I got #4 traced off--!!

I did get this counted cross stitchery all finished off--

I got a couple yards of the white trim a while ago--and finally took the time to use some--really like how it came out--but--yesterday I packed up all my snowmen and put them back in their tote bag and they are back up on the shelf--

Now to decorate for Valentines day this week---

I also did get all '12' blocks of the Frosty quilt--hand quilted--

Now to decide how to finish the lattice and borders on this quilt--??

I also did sew a baby quilt top--but forgot to do a photo--and I still need borders--maybe--we will see this week as I continue to work on it--it will go to the local hospital here--

I have 2 baby sweaters on knitting needles and a crochet blanket on a crochet hook that I work on at least one project every day--oh--and a knitted shawl--that last night got pretty much--UNKNITTED last night and restarted--what can I say--nothing better to do--I was bored--or maybe I had made a big mistake half way down and thought I could live with it--so kept  knitting--but then ----!!!!!

And yesterday I did a big project--

On Thursday my friend, Cheryl and I went to Home Depot for 'dirt' and plant pots--I got all excited when I seen this years plant pots colors--Flamingo Pink, Aqua, and Blue (they had white also--but?) So I bought 3 medium pots at $2 each and 4 larger ones for $3 each--a bag of soil and 3 viola plants--!  

I played in the dirt yesterday and all my plants got new pots and new dirt--!!! And in the process they made a big mess in my kitchen--that I had to clean up--later I came in and moved this plant stand to vacuum under it--and put the  plants back on it--and then moved the big rack I have my displays on and vacuumed under it--moved the Christmas tree--with just the lights on it--to the corner by the ac and at the other end of display rack--and now I have room for a chair at the end of the rack--and can still have the lights on the tree in the evening--eventually the tree will probably go down in my storage--when it doesn't get so dark so early and we quite having dark dreary days here in Florida!!!!!!

WELL--ITS NEARLY THE END OF JANUARY--DO YOU HAVE ALL YOU THINGS ON JANUARY'S TO DO LIST DONE??????????????

HUGS, DI
