Close, but no flimsy!

Happy new year to you all! Despite the best laid sewing plans (read grandiose ideas!) I did not get too far with these blocks. Finished a couple more, but I chose to chat with friends I seldom see and walk with DH and the dog to watch the fireworks over the city...good for the soul ( and the burgeoning waistline!!!).


So I guess these blocks will become the first flimsy for 2014!
Let us hope for a calm and gentle 2014 both in my home and yours...

    Time well spent...your UFO will be waiting for you. It's very pretty. It's New Year's Eve morning here so I hope for a quiet day before hearing the fireworks explode.

    Chatting with friends is always a nice diversion. It's a good start on those blocks anyway.

    I think walking and watching fireworks is a far better option to begin new year.
