So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work, or family or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever." Neil Gaiman

Cutting time, sigh
I spent the better part of today cutting fabric. I've cut 2 1/5 inch squares all week, really should have read the instructions for the quilt I decided to make from the red Christmas fabrics before I cut as I cut many, many more than I need for that top! I suppose they will come in handy at some point but now I need different storage, everything I have is too big. I also prepped red klosjes and sorted fabric for little houses. When I finally finished cutting (wait, who am I kidding I will never finish cutting) I managed to sew up four flannel rag blocks and two sets of blocks for the nine patches in the red quilt. A productive day all in all. Wish I could do it again tomorrow but. . . cleaning calls once more, sigh. Also both Quinn and I have medical appointments, me for blood work( yuck, very hard to get blood out of me) and shots for Quinn. She and I went back to our twice daily walks but we have to stay out of the park. Our beloved Hannah (the boxer next door) contracted a very serious mange from being in the same area as a sick coyote and is contagious, since Quinn's immune system isn't fully developed I decided it was best to keep her out of the park for a while. I'm afraid the mange will travel around to other members of our wildlife community as well, unless we get a real deep freeze to kill off the mites that cause it. So sad for Quinn, she loved running free on the ball fields so much!

That's a terrific day's work! I've worn out two cutting blades but my scrap box is now done. Soon I will cut up some background fabrics and then I can actually start sewing blocks. Keeping Quinn away from the mange is a very sensible idea indeed. Hopefully you can get back to your favourite park soon. ann :-)
