Happy Valentine’s Day

   I was going to add the Wacky Hearts pattern back into the free patterns (yes a glutton for punishment) but the file got dumped off the computer to some jump drive or disk and I’ve got too much to do other than launch a search for it today.  So at some point it will be added.  We did this one back in 2011 when the block of the month (so to speak) project was actually a Year of Wallhangings – representing the month of the year.  This was of course from February.   There are photos of this design made by other participants on the Flickr group page (I think there are some there) and if you go to PAGES in the sidebar, under BLOCK OF THE MONTH there is a title called YOW – projects by blog readers, you’ll see some of the ones made at the time we were doing these monthly wallhangings.

But my Valentine goodie this morning – they were handing out freshly made chocolate dipped strawberries – yum.  I’ve already ventured out into the bitter cold. It is so incredibly windy and we hit the high for the day about 7 a.m.  and it was 8 degrees.  Temp is going to continue to drop from there all day.  I am so glad I did not have to stand and wait for a bus today – it would have been brutal.  So after breakfast out, a stop at the bookstore (buy one get one sale movies so I have two to keep me entertained) and my very bare cupboards and fridge are replenished – I am not stepping foot outside the door until I have to go to work on Monday and by then the winds are suppose to stop.

Before I reward myself with some knitting or quilting – there’s some cleaning to be done around here.  Need to tidy the kitchen first so that I can start my Luau Vest soaking and get it blocked this afternoon.
