Progress so far

I thought I would share with you my latest squares!

This one is seems obvious, since I simply stitched the word...love is such a blessing to give and to receive:

Here's what it looked like up to the "love" square:

As you might be able to tell from the extra lines on the fabric, I've decided to put more squares on. I added an extra row and an extra column, making it 6x9 instead of 5x8. With my 4 double squares, I think this gives me a total of 50 blessings to do. A good number, I think.

So, here's what I've worked on since taking the big picture...

This one is up next to the cross on top.....and it pretty much sums up my faith:

This little cutie is for the birds. I am a big bird fan. I keep meaning to put bird feeders on my deck to entice them to come closer...but the procrastinator and cheapster in me keeps holding me back....but I do love this time of year when I can throw the windows wide open and hear them singing and twittering to each other all day long....their noises fill my heart with joy:

And this one is for gardens. I like to garden....I have a few container gardens out on my porch and can't wait for the day I have a yard or acreage in which to garden on a higher level.

So, there you go, now you are up to date! It's funny, I keep going in spurts....I will do two or three squares in a day, and then not work on it for a few days. Well, either way it's getting done, and that's what really matters.
