"SOUP-ER INGREDIENTS"

                         Jacky (no blog) sent me these purples for my Stone soup..
A lovely made star and a beautiful range of purple shades....

accompanied by this funny note:

And, since I am using purples for this batch of soup--I think that one
really is perfect for me...mostly my points don't er...well....exactly
                                             MATCH!! ;000

Now COLETTE sent me these lovelies....

STONE SOUP ET AL

                       Here's my mailing from DAWN................
                              she MADE a block for me...thanks Dawn...
                                     and I love the old buttons...
and..................... the second squishy package came too: 
                                             
                                             from SHARON 

(Uhhh i thought one or two "little" pieces there gal lol--)

                                 Just gaze at this wealth of PURPLES!!
                                         thank you for your generous
                                            ingredients, Sharon...

Well, my "soup" HAS BEGUN simmering....looking for a new recipe....
****************************************************

   And.................... these blocks just are looking "B L A H" to me...
Well, perhaps they are reflecting my state of mind right now--
                         Y I K E S !! Not good, huh???

I mean.............................They are so spare-looking..
perhaps like  our outside view this Winter....????

Indecisiveness abounds.... 😮

But I am trudging onward...
perhaps a  serendipitous block will be the spark I need to continue...

(This is a labor-intensive block with all those "flippin" (haha) corners)

BUT...being resolute....
(altho' I didn't make any New Year's ones lol)

I will not abandon these until the pieces I've already cut ahead 
are all used up ...
THEN I will re-assess...after all.......

my drawer of deep-sixed projects is overflowing already....

*****************************************
Here is a cheery look at my ever-flowering amaryllis beauties....

        I just am amazed at how prolific a bloomer this one is...but she needs
to be supported with her long stem......
and.................a little digression here...... 
Speaking of long stems--hahaha, I had my mid-back length hair cut
off on Thursday...to this:

and so far, even after two nights' sleeping on it, 
I still like it...now
to do it myself...hah  aye, matey: 
                                                 "...there's the rub" ....

And here is Red Surprise close to breaking into bloom:

I love the subtle variation of the reds, oranges--
even shades or tints of purple, yellows white and greens...
all fading in and out of each other...even some maroon-ey hues...

****************************************
I am finally coming out of "migraine-city"--
where I have been residing on and off
all week long...

my eyes are still adjusting to the light...

Maybe tonight I can sleep through....hopefully....

Enough of my moan/groan/venting here.....

                                         "I vant to be alone"
                                           in ze darkness.....
