Also "zen."<br /><br />I don't lay things out on the design wall, but only because I don't have one yet. Someday, I'll have room for it. And then, I'll be neurotic about it, too. :-)<br /><br />The cat is cute. You crack me up about his tail. I haven't watched this season of Homeland yet. I watched the first season on DVD, but by the time I did, we were already into Season 2 on TV. So, I have avoided watching any of it so I can pick up right where I left off. I'm waiting for Season 2 on DVD.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842436821856738731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4947909506339485003.post-49357782083165680412013-02-15T09:33:45.356-06:002013-02-15T09:33:45.356-06:00Beautiful!

I don't like it if the same color is touching or the same fabric so ts important to spread it out first. I also saw lots of people picking a word for 2013; I did not do that. I decided to not plan my year too much or set any goals. I just want to take things as they come, sewing whatever my mood suits me. I love your courthouse step quilt, glad no kitty tails were sewn to it in the process. I'm sure you enjoy such a nice little helper.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332365628403090230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4947909506339485003.post-17449072945218471242013-02-10T22:56:16.512-06:002013-02-10T22:56:16.512-06:00Playing on the fly is the best way; it's even ...Playing on the fly is the best way; it's even better having the time to create like that!
