I missed my blogging anniversary. I started blogging in December 2009 and rambled on to myself for a while and then all of a sudden all these wonderful people entered my world. It has been truly amazing, even meeting a couple of you. I met Sue (I Sew Quilts) and Elyte (Tea,Fabric and Other Things) and it feels like you have all become such friends and I have valued all your comments, your words of wisdom and comfort for which I thank you all enormously. I am looking forward now to seeing what the next year brings. I have a few new projects planned but have not forgotten the old ones. There are many unfinished things lurking in cupboards which need some love and attention and I shall do my best.
The cold, snowy weather brought the Fieldfare back into the garden. My neighbours tree has the most delicious berries, at least from a birds point of view and within a day they had stripped it bare of it's fruit. They really shouldn't be in our garden but I guess they go where the food is in abundance. It was however a great relief to see such green grass when all the snow melted. My husband fell over on the ice on Christmas Day and badly hurt his back. A week later it is getting easier for him and the Doctor says it is just badly bruised.
A little bit of floral cheering up.
The pile of jelly roll hexagons is growing and now totals 34. I am playing with background colours and this pretty pale teal is calling me although not yet definitely decided.
I am sure that my finger will hover over the buy button way more than will be good for me because as you will all know by now that I have no willpower or self control and someone has to keep the Economy going. I fear that I will not be alone.
May 2011 be a very happy and productive one for each and everyone of you.
Happy Stitching.
Love Shirley.x

ReplyDeleteYour poor Hubby, I hope he recovers quickly. I do love that pretty teal with the hexes, it's a winner but I suppose you're wondering if it is "the one"
ReplyDeleteMy buy finger has been working a bit lately too, lol. Here's to a great New Year.
My buy finger hit the "order" button on Dec 31, and I'm hoping I can keep it under control in 2011.
ReplyDeleteYour unique teal background looks like a winner to me. Here's to more relaxing hours in 2011 with all of our hexie stitching.
Happy New Year to you, Shirley, and I hope your husband is back to feeling better soon.
