Checked-in and Checked-off

Well, I made it through... 

through the first month of this year and

I actually completed my BOM rehab for January!

I have my first two Yuletide block of the month's completed!

It's kind of fun to be working on something "holiday" related...

I do like prolonging holidays!

This block was fun to make and so much easier than

the Coastal Lily block on my other quilt.

I did get to do a little embellishing on 

the wedding invitations for my son and soon to be DIL!

And I got them all in the mail today!

At first I but everything together like a left-hander.

Then I realized it... when I was half way through...

I un-assembled by work and put things together

as if I was a right handed person opening the 

invitation... 

you wouldn't think that there was a difference but there really is!

Instead of the flower part of the card exposed at the top...

the writing of the names were showing.

I have been working on my Bees Knees blocks too!

My group is making the main block and for everyone

that I get back in the mail I am making the alternate block

that will go into the quilt.

I now have 7 main blocks and 8 alternate.

And speaking of block of the month's...

I evidently signed up for one and perhaps,

 had forgotten about it. 

I am in the Fig Tree Mystery II BOM that

should be in my mailbox this week!

What a fun surprise!

(I seriously don't know how that happened...

maybe I was on a waiting list)?

Lucky me!
