Final 2014 Finish for the Lovely Year of Finishes~

It has been an amazing year,

full of sweet blessings 

and, 

(yay!!),

many finishes!

I finished my December block, 

the Ribbon Star by Lee Heinrich

in Honeydew, Cardinal Red and Clover

then had the bright idea to take it to the beach,

for a seasonal picture.

The sand moisture was freezing up on the calm, +20 degree day.

The water was moving in it's slow "gelatin" form,

which I think is neat to watch.

So I thought, "Hey, let's put it by the edge here for contrast.  

What is the worst that could happen?"

The answer came on a breeze as the blocks lifted

and one flew into the Bering Sea.

Luckily, it didn't go too far and the slow-moving water

made it easy to pluck.

The extra weight and moisture helped the blocks 

stay in place for more pictures!

The wet one froze and held the dry block 

securely.

Without the splash of color from the blocks,

the seascape was multiple shades 

of white on white.

I hope you have had a year full of good things,

and finished projects!

Thanks so MuCh to Shanna and Melissa

Best Wishes in 2015 to you all.....

Final Finish Up Month and Goal Setting for 2014~

It is a busy time of the year!

I love it more with every added month.
