Quilted Ball

Today just might be a really nice day...well, if the humidity--61% and dew points--66% drop. At the moment the temp is is 77 and expected to reach 100. One of these days I will be sitting outside...one of these days but not just yet. Workking on a few ornaments..

a "quilted" ball that so many are making.

simple and not much time to do but it does use lots and lots and lots of pins. Something fun to do. They have been around for some time and are now returning to the craft world. There are lots of design possibilities. I have 2 ornament exchanges this year, down from 5 last year. I was concerned my hand issue would make too many difficult. The hand is not any different since stopping therapy, but really no worse. Taking it slow when I pick up a needle. I do stitch for enjoyment, not for speed. Must say that I am really enjoying my retirement. Everything at my leisure with no time constraints. Does anyone watch Longmire series? The season 4 has started on Netflix.... I really could have watched all 10 new episodes last night, but I will take it slow so as to enjoy them. Still waiting for Call the Midwife to return.
Gee, I am so happy you had some time to visit. LuLu is you are here I send a hug.....thank you all for the kind words and your friendship. Hope you have a wonderful day.

Another date etched in my mind

September 11, 2001....13th anniversary

We store those important dates in our minds. Some we would really not like to remember and then those that are so important that we must. They are important for many reasons, but nonetheless, we etch them to last forever. No matter where you were, no matter if you knew anyone there, it has become a date to record in our hearts as well as our minds. The struggle of peace will always be. We must always be strong and remember the lessons. Shoulder to shoulder and hearts embraced we are strong.
