"109 LITTLE SQ.S", et al

 

"109 Little Sq.s" is my little February finish.
.
It is hanging up in a little space by the
chimney in our side tv room;))))

This is really such a fun pattern to make;
I am going to be cutting little 1.5" squares,
as I sew other projects,
to make "seasonal" hangings for
this space...
This is the Autumnal version...
And
the first time I tried "diagonal 
cross-hatching...it came out
"so-so" but okay, I guess...
🙆

*********************************
PICOTEE AMARYLLIS
has decided to bloom overnight
for us...;))))
Right now it looks like a big, 
blowsy
tulip...

Here is a closer view of the bloom
I am excited to see how it will
fully open up...

I love those little reddish rims and
streaks on this one...;)))

You can see that there will be more
blooms coming, too...

I hope to be able to over-Summer
this one on my back deck and
have it for next year also...

********************************
Really a chilly morning here;
only 15 degrees--
I find it hard to believe that
next week they've predicted
high 50's for us.  
**************************
I am still persevering doing
just a smidgen of hand sewing
on my "Christmas Ojos #3" 
and doing one row every few days 
on my Granny Stripe Afghan...
**************************

Sunday dinner will be"
 corned beef brisket-- 
first cooked in my little 
slow cooker --
and then basted with a 
homemade  bbq sauce
and placed 
in my oven to brown up.
Served with 
boiled potatoes and
 a carrot salad...and
half-sour pickles...

Y  U  M  ;))))
