Be Warm

Although we had a quiet weekend, I really didn't get too much stitching done. My eyes were bothering me far too much with the dreaded dry eye syndrome. I remembered too late, after prying my eyes open on Saturday morning, that I haven't been running the humidifier in my bedroom and this hot heated air in the house has done me in. So in between the irritated scratchy feeling, I have bouts of my eyes watering as if I'm crying. Needless to see I look a little raccoon-ish right now, and gridding Christmas Elegance was out of the question.

I did get out on Saturday with Marg, to our favourite quilt shop in Uxbridge, called Quilter's Cupboard and we signed up for the Saturday Morning Sampler.


I finished up a small Shepherd's Bush piece, from the Be-Attitude series from last year. This is called Be Warm and seems very appropriate for this January weather - we are having freezing rain today. I used some buttons called Dress It Up and they match very nicely. I think I'll try to finish this into a small pillow, hopefully I can find some fabric in my stash. And, with my thanks to Heather (Quilt or Stitch), I have the SB freebie Be Happy which she so kindly sent to me.

  9. Be Warm… right! It’s so cold here… I am trying :D

    That is so adorable! I like the little buttons on there. It’ll look great as a little pillow. You are most welcome for the freebie, it’s a very cute chart. I have plans to start that up after I finish the ornament SAL I am working on ^_^.

  10. Wendy, I hope your eyes are feeling better today. I have a similar problem to contend with, and it always flares up when I want to stitch the most! Take care!

  12. It is so hard to keep the ol' peepers happy during the winter, isn't it? I just popped a few drops of lubricating Visine in mine and they're feeling much happier. ;)

    Your SB finish is really cute!!
