Mail goodies and other things

I was fortunate to win a couple of things in the One World One Heart blog tour recently.

I won these five wonderful patterns from Jill at Jillily Studio. The waves are 3-D prairie points on the Ahoy! pattern.

 I was also very fortunate to win these mini journals. I had my choice of papers and cover colours. I requested watercolour paper inside and I left the cover colours to Sophie of the Art of Being Miss Kool Aid. What a cute blog title.

These are linkable note books. I plan on using them for creative ideas.

That's one of the reasons I requested watercolour paper - so I can use my watercolour pencil crayons.

Please excuse the sideways photo but blogger wasn't letting me turn it.





Here's my amaryllis. It was on sale about a month ago. I guess they wanted to get rid of the ones they had and so they were already planted. All I did was bring it home and water it.

One day.

The next day.

The day after that.

Today. Just a little bit of colour in my kitchen. A change from tulips and daffodils.

Working on some secret projects. I will post the finished item once it has been received. These are some Dilly Dally charm squares with some of my own fabrics mixed in. I didn't like the blacks that were in the charm square package and so I took them out.

I don't know why the colours don't come out the way they should. This is a soft green colour. It's a surprise and so I can't show it yet. Once it's complete and received, I will show the whole thing. I amazed myself by knitting this. I am not as dumb as I thought. Maybe one day I will be knitting socks...

Endless: having or seeming to have no end, limit, or conclusion; infinite.

 Endless sky.
Endless horizon.
Endless ocean.

Book Review - Snowmen

Since I am a proud mom, I thought I would brag a bit here. There is a wonderful review of my son Mark's book Snowmen in today's edition of Canada's national newspaper, the Globe and Mail.

Product Details
The book is available at Chapters/Indigo, Amazon (both .ca and .com) Barnes and Noble, and Borders. It's also at many bricks and mortar book stores.

Done, done and done

It's bound, with a hanging sleeve and label.

Now that this little cross stitch is done, I don't know what to do with it. I may border it with fabric and make it into a small wall hanging.

And this baby blanket is complete. It is for my niece who is due any day.

On with other things (mainly baby-related)...
We have been ill (my husband had the flu and I had a cold) and hence, that's why I have been absent. Slowly getting better...

Every Inchie Monday #10

Dance: to move one's feet or body, or both, rhythmically in a pattern of steps, especially to the accompaniment of music; to bob up and down.

 Elegance in movement.
