Are You Ready for Feb???

I'm ready!!  I've had this cute little wool applique quilt done for several weeks now, just waiting for it to get closer to the new month so I could hang it and show you all how it turned out.  It's another one of the monthly blocks that I converted from an Art to Heart booklet.  My goal is to make each month's applique out of wool and just border it w/cotton fabric.  I love how it turned out!  

Was rather pleased w/myself for once, ha ha.

 Here's where it ended up, but couldn't get a brighter pic for ya.  The "love" hanger I've had for quite awhile, so I thought it went perfectly w/this month's theme.  I have it on the corner fireplace mantel in my craft room, so I can see it often.

 I just basically come up w/my own color scheme for each month and it seems to work out for the most part.

Some of you were asking me how my wool appl. class went last Fri. nite, but we ended up having to postpone it till tomorrow nite(this Fri.) b/c of the bad weather we've been having.  So the kits are all cut out, the sample penny rug has been finished and the bags have all their supplies in them.  All I have to do is run off some more of the handouts and pages of templates and they're all ready for the big nite.  I will try and remember to take pics as the evening unfolds.  Hopefully the weather will hold up for us.  It's supposed to warm up some by then, fingers crossed.

 Here's BJ our 'chunky' Beagle, all curled up on his beanbag in the craft room. It sounds like someone is wrestling w/plastic bags when he gets on there and goes round and round till he finds just the right spot of comfort!  Cracks me up!  I'm sure he loves it not so much b/c I'm in there piddling around, but b/c it's parked in front of the fireplace ~ I don't blame him one bit!  LOL

Well, that's all for today folks!  I know everyone is tired of this POLAR BEAR BLAST (is what I'm calling it), but just think, we're one day closer to spring!!!
