Me Time ~ April 2, 2013

 
The sun was shining and the temperature was
over 30 degrees ~ finally.  So, I made it to Me Time
today after a winter of hibernation.
 
 
I'm still working on projects for future
publication so I can't show them yet.
 
 
But I thought you might like to see some
of the projects that have kept someone else's
fingers busy through the long winter months.
 
 
It has been a very long winter this year.
Let's hope for a nice Spring!
 
 
I bought some Lily of the Valley plants today,
they have been one of my favorites since I was
a little girl.  I hope to start getting some of the
perennial beds prepared this weekend.

Penny Lane Pattern


In the "never a dull moment" saga of weather 
in the American Midwest, in the past week we 
have had bitter cold & grey skies, fog & grey 
skies, snow & grey skies, (last evening) 60 degrees
and grey skies and today we are going to have
severe rain and I anticipate... grey skies, though 
the sun isn't up yet.

But the bright spot is ~ the rough draft of my 
manuscript has left the building!

So I plan to get back to some designing and 
stitching, while listening to the falling rain
 and watching some British mysteries on Netflix.

Above is my Penny Lane tablerunner, a nice
stitchery project to work on through the winter 
months.
