HAPPY NEW BEGINNINGS---

 I am a happy camper this week--

I got my list done for--

And so here is my list--

No 1--Cross stitch blocks (these were stitched years ago!!!

2. Frosty's--snowmen blocks by Melisa--2023

3. French Country blocks--these are older blocks to, think 2020-2021

4. Jenny's BOM 2024--

5. Hexagon blocks--2023 or 2024

6. Crabapple Hill--4 -Truck blocks 2022-2024

7. Little baskets--not sure the age on these--will have to do some research??

8. Christmas hearts--2024

9. My Favorite hearts--2024--

10. Felt ornaments 2024--

And I already havehad a 'problem'--I thought #4 was this months-which was Jenny's blocks--but it's #6 and that is the Truck blocks--which is probably better, in a way for me--Jenny's has alot of sewing to do--and there won't be as much on the trucks--and seeing it the 12th of the month--this may be 'good' news for me---!!!!

A   couple days ago a friend stopped in with a gift--

and this is the notebook I will be using to keep my Quilting records in!!!

I have been doing a bit of stitching--

here is where I am so far on my counted cross stitch piece--

I am sooo happy dancing that that big crow is all in--his Santa hat is next---

I was working on this embroidery project--

and finished up the 2 stockings--now this one is put on the bottom shelf --may come out in July!!

And now evenings I am working on this new project--from Anne --that I got for Christmas--

And some people have a basket full of ironing--but I have a basket full of--

quilt projects!!!!

And did you know that Air Ferns bloom????

see the purple flower on this one--big surprise for me!!!

Finally this past week I was finally in a good place--and was able to actually think and plan and then --just do it---on arranging the furniture and creating me a nice sewing place--but I will wait until next post or a post by itself to show you the photos of what I did--I still have some totes under the bed I need to sort though--then I can really actually do some decorating!!!!!

This apartment is different-- is the only word I can use to describe it--and it feels so different living in this part of the building--and it's a good feeling--here's hoping that feeling keeps right on going!!!

(now if they would just give us some good healthy food for our lunch we are paying $7 a day for--unfortunately-- I feel and so do others--the food is just getting worse and worse!!!!) So I only eat there about 2 times a week and have to be sure there is a day or two in between--or else I am up all night with indigestion!!!! boo!

Oh how my heart goes out to all those who are losing their homes and belonging in California--I am in disbelief of it all--at least these folks will still have the land to rebuild--whereas in NC they lost even the land!!   sad sad sad!!

 OH AND IT'S COLD IN FLORIDA--SO HOW ARE YOU DOING????  WE NEED TO JUST KEEP SEWING AND CREATING AND SPENDING TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS--

LOVE, DI
