Got by with a little help from my friend

My grey haired avatar is now with us. And wasn't it fun.

Where is my avatar?

I spent a lot of time picking out the right hair color (style was hopeless) and a dream farm scene for my avatar, but can't get that gal to show up on my blog.  Including an actual photo of me would scare any prospective blog reviewers.  
Maybe another day.

This is the long way around, but should actually bring the photo to the blog. I'll figure the email route yet.

House Quilt


My House Quilt  2007-2008
I have been working on this quilt since last summer, and was thrilled to have gotten it pieced and put together by fall.  I started quilting in November, and am more than half done.  I have to complete it, finish quilting and get the binding on by the April quilt guild meeting, or lose $5.00 to the guild.  The pressure is on.  My finger tips are rough and ragged, the nails are bent and breaking and my joints ache but I'm determined to get it done.

What has happened to the time

It has been over a month since I have found  my way back to this blog.  And finding my way back is part of the challenge.  
In the past month, library life has taken on a new dimension.  We have a 'new' assistant--new in the position, but accustomed to our branch.  And we are interviewing prospects for the aide position vacated by our new assistant.  Change is good.  

The Christmas holidays have come and gone.  We had a great time with family, as it should be.  And now we must resume life and all the responsibilities we could delay for a bit.  

Got a good start on my house quilt.  Not quite half is quilted so far.  Finished piecing work on my 2007 mystery quilt--am considering a flannel backing and blanket binding for a baby quilt.  

I have an irresistible scrabble game which I am going to play now.  Later...
