Here we are enjoying the second Sunday of January. I must say life got the best of me with a vacation after Thanksgiving and then celebrating the Christmas season. I went back to my last blog post and realized my last posting was Dec 6th. I was working on block #8 of Baltimore Garden. Today, will be working on the last corner of block #13. I guess I have done more stitching than I realized. I guess I really needed it!
As I took my pic this am of that corner, it made me think about my childhood. Way back when we didn't call it "time out" but we did get put in the corner as a punishment. I think they both have the same results time to sit and think about what got us there. I also remembered how your mind would wander while sitting there. The same thing happens when I quilt. I really need that time each day to let myself meditate and forget about all the demands that we have upon us. I am super excited today, as the sun is shining and Tom has volunteered to cook dinner. So I have a bit of extra time to link up with Slow Stitching Sunday where Kathy reminds us to slow down. I can get in some more stitches and take a break and visit others who are enjoying the hand work. It doesn't get better than that!
