April BJP





So sorry I haven't posted in awhile. This week I lost one of my dogs so it's been a difficult time around here. She was old and it was time but still it's difficult:( My poor other dog is having a difficult time with it as well.
On to happier things. I finally finished my April beaded rock. I found these white stone goldfish at a local bead store and decided to put them in some water. This rock took awhile. I seemed to lose a little interest in it as time progressed. Maybe because it was all the blue but I really don't know. This rock just didn't provide the spark that the other rocks did. Also just before I finished the rock the power went out here (it was night time) so I literally finished it under lantern light. I wasn't going to let no electricity stop me from finishing it. I really wanted it completed.
I also made a few more blocks for my CQJP. I really liked how this quilt was turning out so I went from 9 blocks to 16 blocks. I am working on several blocks at one time. Three more of them are almost completed so stayed tuned for those. I will probably have them done within the week. Everyone have a wonderfully creative week.....

  6. Sorry about your loss... Yes, it's always sad when our elderly pets leave us, even though it's the natural way. Maybe your next rock will be a tribute to her as a young, vibrant puppy... or maybe it could tell the whole story of her life. Just a thought.

    This one is calming. I don't get all jazzed up looking at it, the way I do with some of your others... but it makes me feel good.

    Thanks for posting it!
