block of the month

or Kisses for my Beloved as it's called in the book.

We've completed the first four blocks and will do block five and six before the end of April. It's been so much fun. I love the square in a square technique. It makes triangles so easy.

Guess I didn't take a picture of this block after it was finished.

progress

hopefully this will be in the mail by the end of the week . . . hopefully.  ( i tried doing curvy stuff -- i really did . . .but with all the squares -- let's just say i hated it .... but i lovvveeee the grid)  Just the border to quilt and binding to sew on .... then its a visit to ups:)

meet tavern

orTavie as he is known in my house

Five months old and fifty pounds of the most laid back pooch ever.  He's my new foster dog.  Came from a homeless camp in downtown Nashvegas.  As far as we know he has never lived in a house or been around people much.  He is unsure about a lot of things except that he loves his human and his four legged friends.

He's been with us a couple of weeks now and I 'm afraid I won't want him to leave.

Here's to a fun weekend.

life happens ...

and it happened to February.  Two family emergencies that took me out of town and a visit from my TX grands (and their parents:))  pretty much ran away with the month of February.  Hopefully March will be boring -- I'm just sayin'.  The to do list in my sewing room is getting longer not shorter.  I'm hoping to take care of some of that over the rest of the week but there are already several interruptions on my calendar.  So, we shall see.  Hope to be updating on projects, etc. over the next several days.  In the meantime, it's off to bed for me.
