TinkSquared = Tink²

This morning I joined a couple friends at Hobby Lobby and we packaged up pre-cut quilt blocks for Quilt of Valor.  Next Saturday is National QOV day, so we’ll be piecing the blocks and sewing the tops all day.  A couple of the girls started a once a month sew in just for QOV quilts, I think that’s great!

Jim and Cosmo are outside splitting wood.  The Gator is great because as he splits he just tosses it in the bed.  We can’t get our truck back here.

Jim sure likes the wood splitter we got last year.  I had the hardest time getting him to try it, now that he has he loves it.

I thought Siri would be taking advantage of having the house to herself and be running around, but there she is, snoozing in the crate we brought in so she could play in the same room as Cosmo without us worrying about her getting hurt… we’re still not sure if Cosmo just wants to play, or if he wants to eat her.

I took her to the vet this morning just to make sure she’s in good health.  They loved her!

When I sew, I tend to lose focus on the world around me, and with a new kitten to watch out for I haven’t been doing any sewing.

Instead, I’ve started an afghan out of yarn I’d made several feet of a ripple stitch afghan several years back, but lost interest in.  I’ll probably lose interest in this one too, but I’m enjoying the hand work for now.

The bathroom is progressing slowly.  What I’d hoped would be a week long project will be two at least.  I’m so sick of construction guys and dirt in my house!
