Design Wall Monday!

I actually do have something on my wall!  I finished putting the blocks up Jordan Fabrics free pattern Mirage.  It’s done with a jelly roll and background fabric.  Now to get it sewn together.  I will be checking every row!  Would much prefer ripping a block or 2 as I sew than seeing a mistake when the top is together! And yes will double check it one more time before I begin!

We brought in the New Year quietly.  Steak dinner.  Lady went to her safe room as soon as someone started setting off the fireworks.   That was about 7:30.  She came out shortly before 7 AM New Year’s Day.

Our meal on New Year’s day was  pork and sauerkraut with mashed potatoes.  We may be living in the South now but stick with our PA tradition for our good luck meal.

We have slowly started taking down our Christmas decorations.  The lighted animals that we had at our both entry doors were the first to go. Tree skirts and stuffed animals were next.  This week the tree and the outside net lights.  Always sad when this happens but it’s time!

Our weather has been unreasonably warm.  70’s with an 80 or 2 thrown in for good measure!

We did go to Lake Granger yesterday.  A few more birds sat for pictures! The first picture is a Crested Cacara, also called a Nexican Eagle.  When we moved here 27 years ago we rarely saw them this far North!  Now they are a common sight.  The second bird is an American Pipit.  Must have been 30 in the one field.

The Burrowing Owl did make an appearance. Sat long enough so Galen could get a few pictures. Love these little guys!

 

Tilly and Tiki never really cared for carrots.  Lady expects them!  She finally let me get a picture or two with a carrot when holding it in her mouth.  She is comical!

That pretty much does it for us. Enjoy the week  and whatever it holds for you.  Me- purging sewing supplies and hopefully some sewing as well!
