Eye Candy Friday...
...and I'm so ready for the weekend.
This morning, I noticed that the tangerines on our tree are nearly ripe:
And the paperwhite narcissus are blooming in the front yard:
Up this weekend: Finish putting away the Christmas stuff. It's all packed, but I need to rearrange things in our storage cabinet so it all fits.
My MIL's quilt is still on hold. I received my embroidered label order, but I had to order another one. The quality of the label was great, but the name was spelled wrong. Not their fault, mine. I was in a rush to order it and somehow left off a letter. At least the labels don't cost much and I can use phone number portion on something else.
January is usually the month I try to finish as many things as I can. What's in rotation now won't get done by the end of the month, but I can sure make a dent in them. In particular, I want to work on St. Charles (needlepoint) and get that closer to done.
I also need to resurrect the Mother of Dragons shawl [Ravelry]. Several months ago, I reworked the charts to make more sense to me. The Charred Teal shawl took longer than I expected, so Mother of Dragons has been in limbo for a while. I hope I can figure out where I am!
I found a cross stitch scissor fob that had disappeared for several months. It was hiding in one of our storage ottomans...how it got there, I have no idea. But it's found and now I can assemble it! I have other finishing work to do, as well.
Yeah, there's plenty to keep me occupied for the weekend!
