I looked at your skein of yarn and reminded myself that I wanted to get a knitting project going. I resolve to have one going in the background in 2018. I just finished knitting a circular blanket for a new grandson due in April and I enjoyed the comfort of the repetitive motion of knitting. You can check it out at this link<br />https://dianeloves2quilt.blogspot.com/2017/12/round-blue-blanket-for-baby-boy.html<br />The paper piecing kit you bought does indeed look fascinating. And again I resonate with buying something in colors outside the usual favorites. I tend toward jewel tones and yet I think one of the favorite quilts I've made was a Thimbleberries Hometown kit in olive greens, gold, maroon type reds, and black. FYI here it is at the end of this post<br />https://dianeloves2quilt.blogspot.com/2015/01/december-day-tree-table-topper.html<br />No more rambling. I really enjoyed your post.

Looking and seeing things in their place - and it helped to open up your creative instincts. Then the kit and your Valentine - again organised and they will be something where you can see the progress inspite of how everything else seems like it isn't.<br />And from all that, you started to claim your own space, make your own mark on your house. As someone else said, you are brave. and you are especially brave to share it here.<br />Big Hugs from the UK!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-19895499269827497342018-01-08T06:07:08.661-08:002018-01-08T06:07:08.661-08:00I'm so proud of you!

It may not be where you stay but He just told you to relax and trust - He's got you. {{{Hugs}}} How rare to actually see His hand, but you my dear have been very anxious and upset.

But he came home Thursday sick and has been sick since. I am spraying him, myself and the house with Lysol and praying I don't get it. To top it off my mom who lives 1 1/2 hours northwest of us had a minor stroke yesterday and I will be spending a few days with her. So I don't know when we will connect, but we WILL. Please feel free to PM me or call if you need a shoulder.
