Good Morning from Downtown Chicago!

Almost done with the Maggie Wrap! I just have a bit more to do and will definitely finish it by the end of the week; my goal date. I will post a picture by April 1 - no April Fool! Once Carol finishes hers, we're going to take a picture with Carol, Liz and myself wearing our wraps and I will post it. Each of us made one in a different color.

My next project for Monday night class will be to complete a half finished Maggie vest. My goal for completion of this garment is the end of April! It's in a very soft blue linen color. I can't wait to get to that one! I think I must set a goal to finish one item each month. It is doable since many of my items are unfinished projects or UFO's and a lot of the work has been done already! I'll be cleaning out those projects like 60!

I am really enjoying my library Kindle book; Finding Frankie by Maeve Binchy. I'm about half-way done and need to finish it soon as I have to pick up a physical book tonight from the library; The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks. Can't wait to start that one! One thing my job has done for me has been to rekindle (no pun intended) my love for reading. I'm still on the waiting list at the library for the DVD The Descendants. I can't bring myself to pay $20.00 for the DVD and never watch it again. I can wait for the library copy! I have also rediscovered my love for the library. 

The Woolly Lamb ladies are still planning to have a monthly "quilting bee" during the summer. I am excited about this as that's really the only time I quilt because there's no Sunday knitting at Woolly Lamb. Brigitte closes on Sundays during the summer. It's sad for is but then we have a great celebration when she opens again on Sundays in October. We'll do just about anything for a party!

Heard from a voice from the past at LUMC yesterday. What a treat to know that people there are still thinking about me! I do miss so many people there! I am making friends here at my new job and enjoying learning from these young people. They are so smart! It's a new world for me and I am learning new things every day! Hopefully I am also helping them learn new things too!

Until the next time....
