Catching up…..

 
Spokes on the heavenly wheel
Keep rotation constant.

It's been a little bit since I have stopped by, so I thought I would catch up you.  Last week I had a minor health glitch that kept me down for a few days and quiet.  I have also spent a lot of time away from the computer working on projects that have been waiting to be finished, so it's all been good. 

Pictured above is the little quilt I have been working on for my youngest grandson, Finley.  I started it before he was born and now that I have some free time, I was finally able to get the entire top pieced and put together. Of course it has been such a long time since I have used my longarm machine, I had to watch videos on how to load it up for quilting..sheesh!  I had hoped to bring it down to him tomorrow as we are heading out for his big brother Jax's birthday party, but I think it would be wise for me to work on a practice quilt first to get the hang of it again.

I've also been working on a wee sweater for him as well and this should be finished and ready to go tomorrow, so there is that at least, right?  I want to make one for my other little grandson, Asher, who just turned one this week, but he is pretty sensitive to wool.  I just need to find which one of my wools hopefully will not irritate his skin (or use acrylic?..eek!)

On another note, a blog friend of mine started posting Macro May pictures, so I decided to join along with her in taking one Macro picture every day as well.  It's been fun playing with my old macro lens again.  I forgot just how close this lens can get when used manually (1:1). 

I put this particular picture on here today to remind everyone that dandelions are one of a bees first Spring foods, so if you can leave some of those dandelions around for them, I know they will be thankful and it's important to keep our little Bee sisters around pollinating the foods that we eat every single day.

So with that I am off to finish a little sweater. 
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
