WINTER ROSES, ET AL

 
                               I've been working along on my Winter Roses canvas...
                                           Enjoying the soft colors emerging......
***************************************************
AND--
I have:
One more Mrs. Secret Santa project to bind and label......
T H E N ...I can start another project.....;))))
*****************************************************
Right now I think it will be a log cabin--
 Courthouse Steps variation...

And so I am in the process of 
searching for a fabric to be the focal square--
will a Santa make it? 
a birdie?
                 a tree?
                                Or a beautiful batik? 
                                                                        Or an Ocean scene...?????
****************************************************
AND............

I've been looking for a really good book to read; but have been finding myself 
reaching a certain point in the books where 
I just  "don't care" about the characters anymore...
sad.....but true....;(((

*******************************************************
So, 
(" in the meantime, in between time--ain't we got fun....")

Crossword Puzzles and Diamond Painting to my rescue...

  4. Very pretty. I can never stop a book, even if I hate it. I guess I want to see if there is anything redeeming about it in the end.

  5. The canvas is beautiful. You sure make the most of your time. Lately I've had difficulty staying focused on just one project.

  8. Hi Julie, I just love your baskets runner there and this is a sweet design. Is it needlepoint? I did needlepoint for years before finding my way to cross stitch and quilting. The perfect fabric will reveal itself...it always does...just like the border on your baskets.

  9. Good progress, 'a rose in December'.
    And I like your little baskets in your last post and the courthouse steps
    under the little Christmas tree, lovely decorating.

  10. Oooh, that Winter rose canvas is so pretty. I am having the same problem with book reading lately. I get partway into the book and put it down, because I just don't care. What is with that?

  11. I haven't heard of diamond painting before so I had to spend a half hour on google and youtube learning all about it and watching videos! Fascinating!
