I loved to read about the flow of thoughts that came to your mind when stitching this block.<br />The older I get the more I love the little things in my daily life. Watching the birds coming to their feeding place in our garden. Seeing the first little leaves on the bushes in the garden (not yet at the moment). Discovering the first violets in spring. Waiting for my little cactus to develop the only flower once a year. Starting a new stitching project (not on a daily basis of course, lol). Sitting in my armchair after lunch and reading a couple of pages in my current book. And many more things that I appreciate so much.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922122091202289138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-36983173779165835842010-03-02T11:14:24.869-05:002010-03-02T11:14:24.869-05:00So, so pretty!

I have no idea why. LOL!<br /><br />The simple things? New flowers in the spring, floss on fabric (of course!), opening a brand new book, the smell of the air when it turns to fall...<br /><br />Pumpkin...The Gull Rescuer ;o)Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310433488261347972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-51840330536623835472010-03-01T18:16:34.187-05:002010-03-01T18:16:34.187-05:00Congrats on finishing another block and it looks g...Congrats on finishing another block and it looks great!Mylenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01579585944097929974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-71766958575087542742010-03-01T17:04:57.593-05:002010-03-01T17:04:57.593-05:00Wow this is looking so wonderful, what a super blo...Wow this is looking so wonderful, what a super block. <br /><br />I like the simple pleasures in life... watching my cats sleeping in the morning sunshine in the garden, i too like the odd square (or 2 or 3) of choccie, watching the birds on the feeders always gives me a thrill.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863899802782756191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-45219791110305839162010-03-01T08:30:16.206-05:002010-03-01T08:30:16.206-05:00Just discovered your blog and had to comment on yo...Just discovered your blog and had to comment on your Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow.

I loved your musings on wondering what the occupants of the house were like, what the house was like, etc. We have a house on our road that is a farm house but on more of a grand scale... it looks Georgian... and I would SO love to get a peek inside! Anyway, great job--can't wait to see what March brings for your needle!Siobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664728276490470180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-29433056980113676532010-02-28T20:01:29.369-05:002010-02-28T20:01:29.369-05:00Congrats Carol!

It is the simple things in life that are best, isn't it? I love a quiet night at home with no where that any of us have to be, a home cooked meal, a phone call or email from a friend, a kiss goodnight from my son, a kiss hello from my husband when he comes in from work, a good movie, a book I just can't put down, and of course, stitching. :)<br /><br />Hope you have a great week filled with simple things that bring you joy. :)Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935111380330769183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-34929245485732177302010-02-28T17:12:57.391-05:002010-02-28T17:12:57.391-05:00What a great block!

I love sitting on the beach and love the ocean water. my stitching brings me a smile when I put together a new project and collect all the thread etc. And most important the special people in my life who always make me feel good. The two blocks are so pretty.
