I was called in to work today because the owners had to leave for FL for a funeral for his 47 yr. old brother. I have been working on this ABC quilt for over a year now, usually just on days that I am working at the store which are few. I spent most of the day reacquainting myself with what I needed to do to finish it. I have the first row sewn together but all of the rest of the rows are waiting for at least one block to be finished. The directions are lacking in my opinion so it takes longer to do.
I decided to go ahead and embroider 2 of the remaining 4 blocks that needed to be done.
My paperwhites are blooming now and my amaryllis will be blooming soon. Actually last year's bulb has a bud too so there will be 3 stalks of flowers soon. The color will be a surprise.
The first year that I had paperwhites I wondered what was that strange smell in the house. I finally realized it was the flowers. I enjoy the smell now although the first time I thought it was strange.
Our old snow was all melted except the piles along the streets and driveways. Yesterday it flurried all day and now our town is coated in white again. I don't think it is going to amount to much accumulation but it is COLD again. My van sits in a heated garage most of the time and it is going to have to sit outside all day today while I work. I hope it will forgive me.
