Well! So much for writing more frequently! I have a long way to go before I am a timely "blogger", but I will keep working on it! I think I have come to terms with not getting all of my projects done like I thought I should. I am making some progress, but have come to realize that a project a month isn't feasible for me, but maybe one every other month can be realistic. I start too much and finish very little! So rather than tell you what I have finished, here are a few things that I have started.
Noro Log Cabin Blanket:


"Twinkle": I also started the class sample for "Twinkle" that is now scheduled for the weekend of November 9-11. I fell in love with Amy Butler's "Soul Blossom" fabric last year and had it set aside for this project. The pattern is a modern variation of the Friendship Star block. With the star in the center, the various "Soul Blossom" large-print fabrics surround it. I am going to keep this one simple and not add a border. It will probably end up on Alexis' bed after the class. She wants almost everything I make!
Our "kitten": Phin, our Ragdoll "kitten", is now 20 months old . . . we have all sorts of nick-names for him including 'Mr. Fluffy Pants' and 'The Fabulous Mr. Phin'. He is a cutie, but a real stinker! He seems to think he has to come visit us when we are working in the dining room or when he wants to go watch the birds. Jeff has to go to the hardware store tomorrow and get a heavier closer for the door leading from the guest living room to the dining room . . . no cats allowed!


I am going to sign off for the night. I have to go "encourage" Alexis to go to bed! We may go out and play in the snow tomorrow, so we'll need our rest. We had over 12" of fresh snow between Wednesday night and Thursday night. We need to enjoy it while it lasts!
I hope you are doing well with your own projects. I hope, too, that all of your stitches are happy ones! Send updates when you can; I love to see what you are working on!
All the best,
Kim
