Two Little Baskets

Here is the Tisket a Tasket January block all done. Cute little blocks.

I know this is in the preceding post, but I have it all done with the birdies' eyes, beaks and the heartstrings so I am putting it in again. Have also worked on my round robin piece today and my playing card. A cloudy day with some snow (although don't think we're going to get all the bad stuff they were talking about) and a good day to sew. But then, what isn't a good day to sew?

I put some oven stew in to bake and it is smelling mighty good - easy to do, my kind of cooking anymore. Something like that is good for about three meals which pleases me no end. Then later on I will watch American Idol - got hooked on that last year. At my age, I am contented with simple things and one of the best things in life is to feel good.

I do have some exciting things to look forward to - one is a trip to Portland, Oregon, for a family gathering to celebrate my son-in-law's 60th birthday the first part of April. Have I mentioned that? The whole family will be there and that will be fun. Then I have been asked to go to with three of the girls to the big quilt show in Chicago in the middle of April - that also will be a lot of fun. I have been to Paducah several times but never to another major show. I am really excited about that!
