Now that the peacock is finished I want to tuck in a small but long delayed project.... my little needle book for Susan Elliott's class. I wanted to use this lovely stripe for the lining and not all of the felt I ordered from Susan worked with it so I ordered a piece called "cinnamon" from another vendor to add to it. And it took about 12 days to arrive... But it is the perfect color... Also since I want this needle book to be a companion piece to my stitch journal I have gathered lots of laces. It is a small piece so the laces are very fine.. I'm anxious to get started on it... Now that was my good news.....
The bad news is Morris tried to make a new friend last night and he came in with a nose and mouth full of quills... I'm only hoping that it was painful enough he will stay clear of the next porcupine... But since Morris has a propensity to court disaster at least 2 or 3 times in a row, I can only cross my fingers and hope.
Also the next news is mixed....bad because it is officially spring and my daffodils are up.....but good because I am forced to stay indoors and stitch... We had another 4" last night and it is snowing hard this morning.

ReplyDeletePoor Morris! I worked at Lincoln Park zoo, in Chicago, when I was in H.S. and I have been "qilled" oweee!

I would love to give Morris a gentle kiss on his poor, sore nose. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Suzie in Idaho
ReplyDeleteOh, poor Morris! I hope he's learned his lesson in go this time.
ReplyDeleteOh Morris...sigh. Its so hard when a fella just has to explore everything. We had 4" of snow here yesterday too and possibly more today. I hope not too much because its a 3 day quilting weekend although we have to go the the city tomorrow to visit the grand babies before they go to the island for a month. My DIL is going out to help her Mom while she recovers from knee replacement surgery.
ReplyDeletePoor Morris! Hopefully he will have learned a valuable if somewhat painful lesson. Love the snowy photo!
ReplyDeleteMy first thought when I read about Morris was, "YAY! Another subject for one of your CQJP blocks"!
