This is my very first attempt at Crazy Quilting and I thought perhaps I should post the picture before my CQing friends felt that I had 'gone over to the other side' with all the knitting that has been going on around here lately. This practice block is still 'in progress' and I did something too that some say not to do . . . . I put pattern against pattern, instead of having a plain fabric in between. Guess it was the 'rebel' coming out in me . . . but hey, why tell us that in CQing there aren't any rules, and then throw that rule in there?! Personally I think it worked in this case . . . and it is after all my block, right?! And I will be doing it again. {gg}



At the moment I am working on another pair of socks and hope to get some pics up soon of the last two pairs that I finished. In between spells of knitting I am 'forced' to do housework and cook meals . . . . even bake the odd sweet or two. Lately I've made a couple of Washington Pies that didn't last long. Even the crows never managed a nibble off one of those. Poor crows . . . :-( . . . . they do have stiff competition with the ravens, and the grackels (sp?), and the spruce partridges (Ruffed Grouse); not to mention the Wine Brook Cottage house residents who are in line ahead of them. Last April this woodpecker found that he may have to defend his right to peck on this pole for his breakfast. Looks like the 'Glarefight at Poletop' and it seemed a bit unfair as one was working as part of a 'tag team.' Interesting to watch the interaction of the birds; as well as most creatures.

Cya later . . . .
