Cheer Up!

With all the ridiculously cold temperatures (as well as the insanely dangerous wind-chills) going on in the country right now I thought it might be a good day to post a picture of this recently completed wool pillow top featuring a Robin, the universal harbinger of spring. Let this serve as a reminder that this won't last forever! My children learned a sang when they were in preschool with these words:
"Robin, robin, what do you say?
Cheer-up! Cheer-up! Cheer-up!
Spring is here to stay!"
 Although spring isn't here at all, let's change that last line to say "spring will be here in 70 days". Let the coundown begin; I'm crossing off the days!

Life is Good!

Wool Gathering

I'd like to thank Cathi, from Shakerwood Woolens, for her personal assistance in choosing these warm and wonderful hand-dyed wool pieces for the project pictured above. You've got to love a business that has the following scripture verse printed on her business form: "She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands." Proverbs - 31:13  The hands are willing; now to just schedule some God-given time for this sweet bird and berries! I believe that the approaching cooler weather will be the perfect time for wool!

Just look at who crept (and flew) into the sunflower block, and just in time for class next week! The symmetry of this block is very appealing, it must be the Libra in me; I'm always searching for balance.

Life is Good!
