For frequent visitors, I’ve added February to my journal quilt page Nice change from doing binding, LOL.

So I’ve been working away finishing the binding on my quilt, but meanwhile, I’m drooling over

After all, what’s not to like about a pile o’ pink fabrics. All different pinks from dark to light, bright to dusty. Ummmm – I’m just not normally a pink person. But something is compelling me to buy pinks. I think it’s photos like these. I mean, what’s not to like?

On the other hand, I spent one mindless night trying to unravel this mess. Hand dyed, varigated yarn. Pretty and pretty unruly!

Finally, an end of week question for YOU gentle reader. What’s on your bulletin board or frequently-looked-at wall or frig space? How about letting us have a peek? Here’s mine:

Bornfamous quotes an article with Mark Twain’s words: ‘I’m a very old man. I’ve had lots of problems. Most of them never happened.” That Mark Twain was not only witty, but wise. Then she goes on to talk about facing fear

Who hasn’t faced fear? Who hasn’t procrastinated and ignored and denied something that needed doing and risked not getting it done. Often when the task, the phone call, the requesting of another is done, it was only a fraction of what our fear described. I often say to myself as I’m dialing – what’s the worst that can happen – they can say no. That’s not life threatening. It’s just a no. And yet it’s hard not to put off, push back, ignore, lay aside. To accomplish, you must commit.

As Yoda said “Don’t try. Do.” OK, so it’s a silly source, but good thought. Intent matters. Strong intent accomplishes things both big and small.

Happy Purim!

Turned my last corner on the big grant quilt. It’s now tentatively titled “The View From Here” apropos of the grant itself. Whooo hooo! The end is in sight – one long side to do and then the sleeves to baste down.
