I am finally feeling back to "normal" following our trip to Disney. Though when I see ads for DW on the TV I am still homesick. I guess not too many of you feel the same...
Anyway, I'm not up to a whole lot at the moment. Which is a welcomed feeling. I started a beginning quilting class last week and it will meet once/month for 9 months. I'm so excited. I don't know how much actual quilting I'll ever do, but the knowledge I'll gain will help me in my sewing confidence-at least that's my goal.
I have Valentine's Day on the brain. I can enjoy the day now, rather than feeling like a bundle of knots and total scrooge. I pulled out my Valentine hankies the other day, as well as a few red and pink ones. I strung a piece of jute across my window and hung them up with mini clothes pins I found at Hobby Lobby. I'm not sure where I found this idea (probably on Pinterest) but I knew I had to try it. I have quite a collection of vintage hankies so I think I'll switch these out with other throughout the spring and summer. They are mostly bright and colorful floral versions and it pains me that they sit in the darkness of a drawer year round.
I don't go overboard on the Valentine decor, but I always have to have something festive out. I displayed my vintage Valentine postcards again this year. I just love getting them out again.
Well, I think I'm going to spend most of the day reading and maybe doing a bit of sewing for my quilting class. I began a new Bible study yesterday, so I'll spend a little quiet time curled up with a cuppa something warm and steamy with that as well. It's Beth Moore's new study on James. I've got a little housework to check of the list and since it's nice once again today, maybe I'll take a walk around outside later. I am loving these lazy winter days!

I am also working through the Beth Moore study of James, along with 2 girl friends. It is an amazing study. It's my first time doing a Beth study and I love her passion and intensity. Wow. I'm learning so much. I pray that God speaks to you as much as He speaking to me through it.

There have been plenty of lazy winter days around here. I love what you did with the hankies... gorgeous.
I think that I should join a class for something....I am getting those bored winter blues.
Have a great night.
Aren't pretty hankies just the sweetest? My grandmother used to enclose one inside the birthday cards she would send me. Wish people would still do things like that.
