No Room on the Blog

Ok. Here is the scoop. The bad news is I can't add any new pictures to the blog because I ran out of picture space. The good news is one year plus into the blog thing, I have used up all my free picture space. So I have to buy, upload, update, renew, gigs or bytes or something. So when I figure out how to configure the updates I will post new pics.

And while I have been asked of late why am I not on Facebook or Pinterest? I don't have time. If I had more time, I would craft more and post more; however, in regards to time and contrary to all my desires, full time jobs that pay do have a priority, but that's not MY rule. : (

And apprently, I am not yet technologically savvy enough or connected with someone who surpasses me in blog knowledge in my circles. Anyway, do I really want to be soooo out there!?! Well, maybe later.

So in the meantime enjoy this picture...

I like to imagine it all lit up in Christmas lights with a sleigh parked on the side ready to carry scarfed and mittened travelers across the snow on a starlit night.... if I blink really hard maybe I can go there?

Christmas Once a Month Project #5

First, I must beg your pardon as I overlooked the date (15th) for the Christmas Once a Month posts as outlined here at Julie's blog. I don't know now if I'm ahead or behind? In any case, I do hope this project will make up for my oversight. I have had this pattern on my mind since I first worked with half square triangles on this project . I am happy to say this is one of my own inventions, as I did not use any pattern. Yay! I started with a clear idea and made the rest up as I went along! Some people collect scraps for a giant scrappy quilt, I prefer more immediate gratification by making something more compact in a fraction of the time! Truthfully, finishing something (like a quilt) gives me great satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment I don't get doing other things; I'm addicted! One perk was that I did it entirely with leftovers: Squares, 5 inch charms and smaller 2 1/2 inch squares, various strips...
