Blocks 124-126 Week 42 Moving

Countdown: 9
Speaking of countdowns in four more months Christmas will be over and we'll be looking forward to a new year.

Even when you're packing up someone else's belongings moving is tiring. Boxes, clothes, dishes, linen, shoes, ... and ... and ...  and .... What goes to charity? What goes with you? Haven't decided which is more tiring packing or unpacking. Now it is all done and waiting to be recycled or reused. 

The best part is the three days of mandatory sewing starting today. Yahoo!

Block 123 revision Step 3 the square should be 3 1/2" not 4 1/2". Be sure to reprint the page. You may have to refresh the pdf page to get the revision.

Did everyone see the solar eclipse thru welding glasses, the cereal box or on tv? Our universe is so incredible. I'm always saying that I was born at a fabulous time. Incredible discoveries and inventions and rock 'n roll music. Photo from Calgary Alberta Canada.

Week 41's women are just as incredible. Brain surgeon, endocrinologist, and Iron Lady of the North. Each in their own way can move between professionalism and every day life.

Blocks 118-120 Week 40 - Crabapples Galore

This year we had major winds in early spring and my crabapple tree never had any blossoms. I figured that there would be very little if any crabapples. Boy was I wrong. There are more crabapples than ever before. The branches bending from all the weight.




This week the lessons I learned are participate in what you love not because it is cool, always have things in writing and learn survival skills.
