Thank you so very much Paula.

I already have ideas churning in my mind.

here is a quick peek at whats being created this week, mostly while watching olympics:

I might actually get this BBD sampler finished before closing ceremonies

don't look too close....I am not known for frogging...just forging on....

next time I will have it ironed and take pic in daylight.

fingerless mittens for DS#3....he will be 18 on Sunday

  mittens are probably not on his wishlist ....but.....  ;0)

DH is on to new project fancy rib knit scarf....more pics later

oh Paula, DH says "Hey, those little scissors might be handy!"

I told him to watch your blog for future sign ups, if you don't play you can't win.

thanks again

have a good weekend.....find joy in your pursuits...

have a sweet day

sweet...also the lemon tree is blooming next to stitching chair.....smells wonderful

and although there are plenty of  projects unfinished, I could not help myself and had to start a

sampler that  I ordered though ABC stitch therapy ....on sale!

Doubtful but will try to complete by the end of the Olympics....that will be my olympic goal.

of course i checked out 2 easy reads at the library

(m.c. beaton mysteries make me chuckle,agatha raisin is like watching ' i love lucy')

(and the white horse is a juvenile book, but sometimes those are the best told tales)

that will cut into stitching time

but the sun is finally shining and the birds are singing

hooray.....i think a little reading outdoors is in order

Finish Fest

A weekend of satisfying completions:
DH casts off the final stitch on his first knitted blanket, for nephew due in March:

I completed my first pair of mittens, now on to socks!

Also completed the BBD heart, filled with dried lavender, ready to hang on gift bag for the upcoming weekend.

One more little finish below for a friend who is about to tackle chemotherapy.....she is a lovely person

whom I wish strength and all the good.

For all your kind words and smiles.............I thank you...

DH thanks you

.....stay warm ....may your casserole of snow subdue in the north ..........

.........hope cupid sends you an arrow of laughter and joy.....
