this very minute.
~Being close enough to touch one of the most beautiful buildings in the whole wide world…and actually touching it.
Seeing my cute little nephew finally-finally get to marry his sweetheart.
Finding a 12 pack of my very favorite candy bar–that comes clear from England–on Amazon for only $10…with free shipping. Yes, please. Click.
Hearing that Miss Jiff–“the mouse slayer” has earned her keep–this week. Though her brother, the Bean, has been inducted into the kitty-cat hall of shame…shame…shaaame.
Awww–our favorite fellow in the whole world~Jillian’s Uncle Andy…truly one of the very rarest of “good guys” left around.
Wrapping gifts for our “Prize Bags” the way a certain character probably would. More about that in a couple of weeks. Heh, heh, heh.
My cute little dashboard guardian polar bear that sort of glows-in-the-dark, as I drive home late at night–so I’m not afraid.
Just waiting…and waiting…and waiting. Tick-tick-tick.
:} What about you? What do you love this very minute?
Happy Sabbath Everyone!
In my world, there are just plain a ton of tote bags. I buy them nearly every time I conscientiously do my grocery shopping. I could store some of them out in the garage, but alas–it’s too late. Instead of taking them back to the store to help bag up my next purchase…
I accidentally, without meaning to, store my valuables in them–you know, in case I need to make a break for it sometime. I’m pretty much packed up and ready to go.
This bundle is for the next gorgeous Granny Square that I’m working on–and that I’ll show you very soon. :}
These springy colors–vanilla, pistachio and strawberry are for a new afghan that I’ll be starting very soon…for the next one of my children who decides to run off and get married. Ha! I’m totally prepared.
This bag holds the lovely colors that are going into a quilting project that I’ll share as soon as it is finished percolating in my head.
The idea with all these bags is that I can easily grab one and sling it over my arm and then I have a constructive pastime no matter where I end up. It almost doesn’t matter which one I choose because they all have the hooks, the yarn, the scissors and the pattern to allow my fingers to flit away at a moment’s notice.
And believe me, they do.
What about you? Do you have a favorite take-along project?
