so thankful....

for many things, obviously, not the least of which is i'm done with the green triangles for orca bay, yippee!  i started out with 350 green/light half square triangles then added 2 more green triangles to each.  even with my dyscalculia, that's 1050 green triangles, yikes!  i can put the few green scraps i have left away now for another project.  the purple strippie squares are not done, though, and i've worked on them today.  that's this week goal, to finish them.  then i can put the whole thing together, so it might be a january finish after all.  ***** also so very thankful for a place to live during this bitter cold snap.  while there were good things in my life when i was homeless, not having a place to stay wasn't one of them.  i do, however, miss my active life.  i had a transit pass, could jaunt around the city when and where i wanted and had a good job too PLUS i was much thinner as well.  those are the things i miss a lot.

  1. Those are some eye-popping greens! Congrats on completing that portion of Orca Bay. It is no small feat!
    That is interesting to me, Grace, that you were homeless when you say you had a good job. I, too, am glad you have a place to stay out of the cold!

  2. I have to admit, the more I stay home, the more weight I gain so I can relate to that part of your post. I'm past retirement age but will keep working at least part time as long as I can just so I'm not home to eat all the time.
