A little taste of Spring
in these
"Hugs and Kisses".
[again using leftover bits and bobs]
I saw Wanda's quilt
she is making in flannels and
thought I'd give this pattern a
little whirl...
Thanks for the inspiration Wanda;)))
And
Speaking of Spring
[which we are so looking forward to]
;))))
"Picotee" amaryllis is growing;)))))
Y A Y !!!!
I don't know if the stems are
usually this palest of greens
or not, but the buds are
about to burst open...
I really had my doubts when
it arrived in that
ghastly ghostly state...
I am so excited to see
those blooms...
******************************
And
Saturday, while looking through
Saturday, while looking through
boxes, I found a cache of
1.5" little squares;
they seemed to be colors of
Autumn....
I need a little wall hanging
in our tv room
so I fashioned this
little piece today....
We have a loden green sofa
and a deep dark burgundy one
in that room...
I thought these
colors would be perfect!!
There are 109 little squares
in this piece...
[I saw a similar layout on
Beth's "My Sewing Room"
blog...]
I will be adding another border--
perhaps 2-2.5" wide of another
neutral to finish it off...
I don't usually work with sashings
and --are they called "spacers?"--
but this was a nice little
learning process for me...
I will be making other
seasonal ones now that I
"get" the measuring....😂
******************************
I was supposed to be getting
a haircut today
B U T ...
has this happened to you?
💇
For years now I have had
a one(chin)length- bob
style which, because of my
fine hair, works really well...
Five weeks ago now
I came home with a chopped up
sort-of bob-ish style!!
VERY SHORT!!
AND
feathered--
and
layered!!
I didn't ask for this and
just assumed she would
continue to style as before?
Did she get bored???
Why do hairdressers do this?
Was she not paying attention?
Aaaargh...
So I cancelled out today
giving myself another 2 weeks to
grow out a bit..
S T A Y T U N E D.....
[And, anyone who knows me,
knows I HATE any kind of
confrontation....]
********************************
We had a lovely visit from our
daughter, Candice,
yesterday--
her take on the hair
debacle......
"But, it does look
okay Mom"
Being nice, I'd guess...

Hugs, on another cold
Wintry day here
