WIP – Life on the Farmlet

To all my dear Friends,

Having been laid up with my knee, as you know, has caused me to get very behind in posts, responses to comments, and following your lovely blogging too! As well, there have been at least 30 new followers who have signed up to enjoy my news, and I haven’t been by to thank them personally!

Thank you new followers of the Farmlet!

I have been writing, following and loving, all you do for so long and then suddenly found it impossible to stay at the computer as long as I did in the past. Consequently, this forced time away has opened my day to new adventures and old beloved pastimes not involving the computer, hence…

I feel the need for a schedule.

Perhaps this might do?

A day for posting (one for Farmlet news and one for my Flash Fiction)
A day for responding to comments
And of course; a day for visiting with you!

Give me some time to work out the details, and I will let you know what I have come up with.

It will take some discipline to see this through, but I think we will all like it when I get on track!

BTW,

I looked for a suitable icon for WIP and stumbled upon this on Youtube.

OK, it isn’t a suitable icon, but

I like it.

You of course are permitted to hate it if you want to.

However you feel about it we may all agree that this one is definitely off the wall!

See you soon!

I have been working on *UFO’s, making a quick gift for a friend, and a couple of new projects just for me!

First the gift…

This is a smallish table rug 12 x 12 inches. It was constructed as you would make a pot holder, and has a heat protective layer on the back. I hope she likes it…

Now the works in progress…

My chicken block is on the project board whilst I futz with it trying to decide exactly how I want to finish it. If you know me, then you know my love of chickens and all things chicken inspired. This is a 12.5 X 12.5 block that will be the center of a new table runner. I have two more blocks planned, but will reveal them when the project is closer to being done.

The Valentine’s centerpiece, supplied by my husband (Thank you Sweety 🙂 ) is sitting on my (almost) completed table runner. The blocks go by Jacob’s Ladder, or the Underground RR. This is one of the UFO’s. I cut it out last March, but was too intimidated to actually begin the piecing process. Two weeks ago, I decided to give it a go, and voila! The picture of the completed project will be in focus I promise. This project needs batting and a backing, but lacking a nice runner for Valentine’s dinner I put it on the table anyway.
