Wooly One Complete...

 
 I put the finishing touches on Block One of
the Wooly Critter Sampler yesterday morning.
I used overdyed wools for the little chickadee and flowers...
and Sulky #12 threads for the buttonhole stitching all around them.
Block One completed in the first week of January. 
Not bad, so far. We'll see if I can keep up.

I'm heading to Coffee Club with the girls this morning, so I'll be adding
my block to the design wall with the rest of this month's completed blocks.

Handsome is actually playing percussion up in Gibsonton today...
for a circus! He does this every year and really enjoys it.

He always says the same thing about it when he gets home, though.
If anyone is interested in this little snippet of knowledge,
(Who knows? You may be asked this on Jeopardy or something.)
Camels REALLY stink!

When Tag and I get back home from Harbour Heights today, 
I'll head back to the studio to continue work on my tablet cases.
Hope you all have a restful and creative weekend.

I'm A Little Late To The Party...

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord...

Nothing like a little musical entry for Silver Sunday!

This is one of Handsome's Rogers drum kits. This one is circa 1970s. He also has another kit that I just love. It has a pearl finish and really sparkles, but that one is packed up right now, as he just finished playing in a band that accompanied a circus in Gibsonton, FL yesterday!
Imagine this set, trimmed in chrome plating over polished brass, a sleek white finish, and Handsome sitting on the stool - sticks in hand. I can't imagine a better way to make beautiful music.

I'll show you what I was doing over the weekend when I write again tomorrow - and I'll announce the winner of my PhotoBook Creator Giveaway, too! Good luck to all the participants.
