Happy New Year, full of plans and promise!!



Good morning!!  Happy Sunday, or Monday to those in Australia and other places in the world!

Above is my Amaryllis.  This is the second stem coming from a big bulb  planted in December.


The first stem bent over, despite tying it up.  boo!!  But I am hopeful is will grow again next year.  Any buln experts care to comment?  Will it grown again?




January reminds me of snowmen.  This is a cute block to work on, part of a Cheri Payne group online from years ago.  I am blanket stitching the pieces down.  So much fun!





This is a random sunset picture from my workplace.  I love to look out the big windows in the empty patient rooms and see this! 



This is the back side of the Amaryllis bloom before it broke.  So pretty!




This sweet potato was from my ornament sweet potato vine.  It is humongous!!  Wonder if it is edible?




This is one of the outside kittens.  This one is bitty.  Maybe a pound now, and I do not know where mom was, or maybe it was dumped here.  He is a purring machine, and thinks I am a good lady for feeding him, telling him how sweet and pretty he is, and cuddling and petting him.

The other feral cat from a previous post has been claimed by a lady down the way now, so I am pleased that he is being taken care of well.

Yes, I bought heated cat houses for the outside baby cats. It is dang cold here today...23 degrees, and they need a snuggly house to get into.



 Last but not least, the mystery quilt!!!  I am making great progress, having all the component clues made.  Hurrah!!!  No new fabric was harmed, or purchased, to make this quilt.  Ha!

Hope each of you is doing great!!  I have so many squirrelish plans for the coming year, and look forward to seeing what you are up to as well.

I have a feral that has lived in my backyard for a few years anyway. I got her a house and put it on the back porch (protected from rain) but the kitty won't go in there. I have dry food and water out always and feed her wet food twice a day. I do have 2 inside kitties but think that's enough indoors.

You had to be quick to snap the photo of your visitor. Your Old Town block looks great and the snowflakes in the red print are just right for today. Brrrr!

You can save your Amaryllis bulb, Julie. There are lots of instructions online. Just Google Amaryllis care. Typically, the flowers aren't as big in succeeding years, and they won't always bloom at the same time.
