First Swim and some Finishes.


This morning I went for my first swim this season. It was chilly at first but it did not take long to enjoy the water.

    Oh Maria, I am soooo envious. You went for your first swim this morning and when I got up at 7:00 a.m., it was 19 degrees!!!!

    It looks like you had a nice productive day!

    It does look like you made good use of your time afterwards with some sewing too. You are way ahead of me.

    Good on you with the swim, I have had a wade or two and my toes froze. I love the Christmas bauble block. Great idea to make it like the card - very clever

    Lovely projects too!!
