CHRISTMAS OJOS, et al

 

I've just finished stitching the center Ojos 

this afternoon....

***********************************************

And:

L👀👀k what has arrived

at our Big Y:

We had them for breakfast this morning

[pronounced "push-key"];)))

They bring back memories of my 

Polish Aunt Sadie who

made them for us every year

before Lenten Season...

Our favorite flavor is 

Bavarian Cream...

***************************

Candice brought me a lovely

Christmas bouquet--and

these are still in pretty

good shape:

Aren't those mauve-y pink roses

just beautiful...?

********************************

We've just finished watching the final

Episode of

"The Crown"

and so, 

I've begun reading this:

And finding it quite fascinating....

A totally different point of view

on the Royals....

***************************

I must take out my Bramble central block 

now that Audrey's next

prompt has come out.  

I need to begin 

to think about Borders, colors, and

1/4 sq triangle block corners....

I have kind of lost my way on this after

such a long break....

So I will be pulling out

my fabric stack

and seeing:

"Now, what was I thinking?"

Saturday Success

I was able to post my "Lil Twister" pix to Flickr Group---yay!!!! My first try on that!!

Here is that picture of Week One:  All sewn together (Ahem:  alert--it seems (seams??? you can groan here) that I have a little trouble matching seams and sewing straight lines....yikes--this new machine is really different from my old Pfaff--which had that great built-in walking foot--No-thing moved under that one....well, guess I'll get used to my Viking (they came down from the North, slashing their way: this way and that--and unfortunately, THAT'S how my fabric is going!!)  Sigh.....well, most of the corners are really matched up ...

Here is a little view of what I may use for a border--being SUCH a texture freak...

This is an older Robyn Pandolphe  (sp???)fabric that I love....tone on tone--and bien sur:  Roses. Again.  I can almost smell them.....ahhhhh Summer:   Gotta love 'em....

And:

I have to love the potato soup which I am making in my crock pot for dinner (see, in our world, if you have a light soup dinner, you can then have a "snack" while watching tv--yup that's our rule)....that and walking 5 out of 7 days...(now, I admit, that one is tough to do...we can but try...)  Love and hugs to all of you--have a great President's Holiday weekend  Mmmmmwah....  Julierose, La Blageuse
