January

The first month of the year is over and I feel as if I've accomplished something.
Besides a lot of snow and cold thus feeding the birds, I have been sewing!
And enjoying it too.

My Dead Simple Scrappy Trip around the World consists of 9 blocks at the moment and I think I'd like to add some (7? 14?) more. (One block is totally messed up and I'll unpick that)




The birds in the garden had a lot to eat. The latest thing (craze?) here is saltless peanutbutter for them. Especially when it's really cold they eat a jar in 2 to 3 days.
Blackbirds love apples and eat everything around the core.

Ahh my daughter's hamster died; she buried it in our garden.
(She's 23 so no drama's there)


I'm glad my sewing mojo is back!
Now I'm off to look at all the others at Lynn's and I'll be at this Friday Party
