Finding those snippets of time

It's wonderful having talented members in my family. My daughter plays for a symphony (percussion) and my husband takes pictures for the symphony. That means I get to go to rehearsals. Sitting, listening to a Disney medley brings back fond memories of the countless hours we spent watching the videos. Hard to believe that she is almost 26.

Waiting

My husband laughs at me with all my knitting bags and projects. It is a great way to pass time while waiting. I have worked on hats, scarves, shawls, and now skirts. As I sit in the waiting area for his for latest eye surgery, I am thankful for something to do with my hands.

What was funny was that the nurse before surgery noticed my knitting. She remembered that I had been knitting with black. Here it had been 1 month and she remembered. Of course that shawl project is still in the works but I knew that the lighting was poor for black yarn.

Creative endeavors

Long time, no see (or write in my case). So I am very fortunate to quilt with a group of ladies that are very creative. I am always in awe of their technical skills with quilting but I love to see how they are branching out in creativity. This is a perfect example. Our challenge is using buttons. Here is a quilter that makes the most exquisite hand appliqué quilts. For her to branch out into a whimsical quilt is inspiring (and who doesn't love 'A Christmas Story' and the famed 'major award'. My quilt is done (just need to get a picture done).
