My defense against the L O N G E S T feeling day of the year....don't know whether I'm hungry or tired or what....I hate this time change. At least i get to sleep in longer, i guess.:ooo
Anyhoooooo..............
I have this little corner and one more big block to finish before i can move onto the side triangles...
I am joining in with Kathy and her friends doing some slow stitching by hand...
i also have finally put this one to bed:
Finito...It will be my Christmas table topper this year--finally!! this is from sometime around the 1990's that i began the hand pieced hexagons...
and while I stitch away with two little mint Milano cookies I am savoring this:
New England Harvest Blend
(with 1/2 and 1/2 of course)
in this little beauty:
On this grey and drawn out Sunday afternoon
(and is it really only 1:36?? ;000)
I leave you hoping you are slowing down and resting before those Holiday rush, rush, rushing days are upon us....
Hugs,
Julierose, La Blageuse (s l o w stitching -euse)
Both of your projects are just lovely.
