I can hardly stand myself I’m so excited. The mailman delivered two wonderful gifts yesterday.
The first gift was my new adjustable lap stand for cross-stitching. This will allow me to stitch hands free. My first project is the mother of projects. It’s a HUGE, 3 piece Amish farm.
I’ve had the pattern and fabric for 10 years I bet. I’ve been afraid to tackle it because it’s so big and so complex in terms of colors. This is the year I’m doing it! I don’t even want to go to work today I’m so excited to get started. Guess I’ll have to wait until Saturday. I’ll post pictures of the project pattern soon.
The mailman also delivered my new Country Gardens magazine. I know it’s 20 degrees outside now but I can hardly wait to get out in the garden. This year I’m going to build above ground beds for vegetables. I need to sit down and make the plans and order the seeds soon.
The beautiful garden pictures make me anxious to see the hundreds of bulbs I planted in the fall. I hope the squirrels didn’t steal or move too many. I love the anticipation of new life popping up in the garden. I can’t believe I have to wait another 3 months to see the fruits of my labor last fall.
Well I suppose it’s time to get ready for work. After all, I have to bring home the bacon to pay for the craft toys!
