New Year Block swap

[Kassaundra]

2x

Personally I loved all the blocks, honestly ALL of them! Sure some were not as complicated as others etc but each block is just totally cool, each one has a really personal feel from the Artist and they DO all go together, nothing I would have picked to go together in a million years, but they do all work *as a set*, some of the more simple designs & calmer colors balance the more fancy and the more bright ones. If anyone still has doubts, my husband actually stayed out on the deck after he handed me the package and watched me open them and go through them, he looked at all of them and didn't walk away before I was done so that is a statement that all of them are attention getting and the set is very nice!

On a side (chicken) note. I'm getting a shipment of U of A Blues hatching eggs! Which the DH does not know about...I tried to buy these eggs in Dec 2012!!! I've tried again Feb2013 & Sept 2013 and it just didn't work out, so tonight, just now w/o warning I get the pm that there is a set of 10 eggs available to ship Sat and my name is now top of the list! ahhhh, well, after waiting what like 15 months what am I supposed to say...so the eggs will ship to me Sat, my bator is currently FULL but by the time I get the eggs I'm sure I'll have found some clears & early quitters so I just gotta juggle some $ tomorrow to cover this surprise and see if maybe the DH will happen to be at the other end of the property walking his now 40# 10week old mastiff puppy when I meet the mail lady w/ my eggs ;P , if not and DH says anything I guess I'll just smile and ask him how puppy training is going ...

My husband did the same, looked at all of them, and said they were nice

Just got to open my blocks, I love them all.
I have had my 6 lb. chihuahua to the vet for knee surgery, that's all I have been getting done, taking care of her. DH just doesn't have much patience with things like this even though she is his dog., I love her a lot too but I have my own chi and her nose is out of joint about this .

Lovely blocks all! got mine earlier this week. sorry about the pin in mine. next time i'll sew on the label. chicks running amuck in my sewing room, still. after one memorable escape there was poo all over my ironing board and a few of my red/white/blue fabrics. I disposed of these. I can always cut more! i know spring is right around the corner for most but dang we are getting ice and snow over the weekend! not significant amounts like some states but it's enough to disrupt everything down here. Oh, well, as long as i have power and adult beverages I'll be just fine! cathiesue

if you had a hot tub makes the snow even better especially with the adult drinks!!! love to sit in a hot tub while it snows, but the getting out can be a challenge
