Are you ready to start?

Earlier this month I talked about Bonnie Hunter's new upcoming Mystery Quilt along called Allietare.  If you missed the post you can read about it here.

Anyway today is the big day, the beginning of the Mystery with Bonnie releasing the first clue.   Run, don't walk over to Bonnie's blog and download the first clue so that you can get started.  If you click on the pic it'll take you directly to Bonnie's blog.  Until next time...

A Finish

Remember back in September I posted about a huge project that I started, a crocheted afghan.  I posted about it here.  Well I am pleased to say that I finally finished the afghan!

It measures 60 inches wide and is 78 inches long.  It just nicely covers the top of my son's queen-sized bed.  It was good timing to get this puppy finished since Winter decided to arrive in my corner of the world a couple of days ago and it will be very snuggly to cuddle under while on the couch watching TV.  Until next time...

Remembrance Day

It's Remembrance Day. Lest we Forget. A minute of silence at 11 am of the 11th day of the 11th month for all those who fought for our country. Lest we forget.
In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

— Lt.-Col. John McCrae
