I spent much of the past 3 days (Saturday, Sunday & Monday) finishing the flowers. I started the cat tonight, and much to my delight, that part is going faster than I expected. This is probably due, in part, to my newest acquisition: A magnetic board that holds the pattern and several magnets to keep my place. Thank you Hobby Lobby! Thanks also to the woman I met at Jiffy Lube while getting my car inspected. She helped me separate some of my floss (which I had taken with me as a "project" while I waited).
It would be great to have it finished before Easter. We'll see.

Baby Quilt
Progress on the baby quilt is slow, but the cross stitching is getting just a little quicker. Thinking of my friend Helen (who was an expert at cross stitch) frequently. I am going to take photos each day to record the progress. Hoping that will give me some more motivation as I see parts of it completed.

I just finished 6 photography classes at the Grapevine Senior Center. I learned quite a bit and met some good folks who also enjoy taking photos. Look at my photos from the Grapevine (TX) Botanical Gardens on my Photography page. I was so excited to find a Pussy Willow bush. I recall seeing them as one of the first harbingers of spring; even when snow was on the ground, the Pussy Willows might be showing their furry little selves. Happy Spring!
