VALENTINE SWEETNESS

February is short and sweet and always made better for this day - a day reserved for love.  Whether it be a grand show or a small sign, I hope that yours was tender and memorable.  I had an early call from the bahamas from someone who remembered that he is and HAS a valentine.  Later Carson showed up at the door with a beautifully wrapped potpourri from Hilary.  
Check out all of those goodies - everything from socks to a chocolate cupcake.  She will always own my heart, that daughter of mine.  She left nothing out -
Harley and Jack will be so pleased.  I'll have to hide the chocolate ... thank you my darling daughter, thank you for your kindness, I love you so much.  You are my proof that love exists in this world.  For real.


I promised the image of the completed wall hanging.  Here is the before shot as well as the 'after'.


Moda panel of 'Attitude Girls' - seemingly CUSTOM MADE for my office mates!!!!  Oh, if you only knew.  It spoke to me, it actually SHOUTED!  I hope that they all enjoy sharing the work space with this little gem (if I do say so, myself!)
There was beading and machine quilting and all kinds of fun - an unending cheerful piece of business!
I think that this is my favorite block - I'm all about the dysfunction fun. Will let you know how it fared tomorrow.  Meanwhile, have a lovely Valentine's Day.
(don't forget to tell someone that you love them)

I thought about you so often today. I made a pot roast. I just finished blogging it. I know that you do cook a lot of meat where I don't and i often thought to myself - I wonder what Jody would do? I wanted to call you but i was so busy with all the things I had to do in the kitchen and with my sister that well, it's now 1:30 in the morning and I am just finishing all my projects. I had a great day with my sister. She has been designing a web site for decades of family photos and she finally finished it today while we were together. And we just had the greatest day. So peaceful. Nothing like family love, as far as I am concerned.
