This and That

 

After a very busy, and productive week, I thought I would check in for a bit. It looks like February will be another fast month. We have our February warm-up this next week. I always think it is that cruel thing the weather does, you have these lovely, warm days and then ***POW*** the Arctic blast hits. I am going to be hopefully, on my hands and knees, cleaning my flowerbeds which look like this:

Poor little bulbs needing to be set free

You can't even see the flowers for the weeds.

 It will feel nice to be pulling weeds, and taking it to the chickens who are just starving for green. That is my plan anyway and you know how plans change, but we don't have any rain in the forecast for a week or so.

I told you on an earlier blog I was starting His Eye is on The Sparrow. I said I was going to work on it at least 10 minutes a day, every day. I have done pretty good, for doing 10 minutes, some days it might be more that that, and some days I might get four stitches before an interruption. This is the first page of the design. I got the border almost finished and then I can start doing the peacock. That is the plan for this week.

My Heartstring

The little tiny corner.

I thought you might like to see how big it will be when it is finished. I really, really love working on this. As slow as I am it might take me two years. I think it will be worth it though.

I am still doing my rug hooking too. I am not going for any goals with rug hooking this year like I was last year. This year, I just want to enjoy my hooking and working on my skill rather than quantity.

I had some patterns enlarged this week at Fed Ex. Gosh I love that place. They enjoy looking at my patterns as much as I do seeing them enlarged. Such sweet people. Speaking of sweet people. Megan and I gave Makenzie a bridal shower yesterday. When you have a surprise wedding, things are a bit backwards. Anyway, it was a very nice party. With just the sweetest girls. I felt so honored to have been a part of it.

So now, I think that is the last wedding thing that has to be done. We have a lovely week ahead of us. Next weekend, Ron and I are going to start painting the inside of the house. We are starting with the upstairs and in the loft. I am so excited. It needs it so bad. I will be cleaning out clutter and rearranging and getting the house in ship shape. So many nice things to be doing for awhile.

Have a wonderful day and even a better week next week,

Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
