thimbly things

This is the gorgeous (and rather huge) rose Evan gave me on our anniversary. A single flower means much more to me than a dozen–I think it’s easier to appreciate its beauty.

Today we have a “Winter Weather Advisory” in our area. Since 8 am, I’ve been longingly peeking out the window in hopes of seeing a little of the white stuff. But all I see is dreariness and a light dampness on the ground. On top of the ickiness, Emily is sick-ish and grumpy (hopefully just cutting teeth). Maybe after I get a shower (this is almost always an afternoon event), I can start fresh on some project that will brighten the day. I’ve cut a few quilt squares, and now I’m seriously thinking of free-hand embroidering the solid pink squares with flowers. I also need to cut borders for all my squares, so I have quite a bit of work ahead of me: 12 embroidered squares and about 100 rectangular strips to cut.
