A finish

 I had a Summer project and now that Summer is nearly over and Fall is almost beginning...officially Fall arrives tomorrow. 

My project has been completed. 


It is a mosaic pattern called Hush.  I love the pattern as it  is easily done while watching TV.  There is no rhyme or reason to my color sequence...I just picked seven colors of blues and yellows and used them every which way.


I am off to a craft retreat for a couple of days.  I am just an hour away from home.  Far Guy has some projects planned while I am gone. 

 We have 104 Christmas ornaments ready to paint some time in October. I was very happy to get the final ornaments through Quality Control and touch up...Far Guy did all the woodcarving this year.

It is really gorgeous, and you amaze me with your ability to crank these beauties out one after another. You must be the Queen at those retreats.

I love the colors, but for me, more colors is always a win!

Enjoy the craft retreat.

Your blanket is really beautiful. That dark blue really pops against the other colors. Is it for you and Far Guy or a gift? Great job on the ornaments. You're ahead of the game this year! Today I'm planning to start making the family ornaments that I give all the kids and grands. I have a pattern picked out and will gather all of the materials I need. It's the last Christmas project for this year if you don't count the last pair of socks on the needles. :-)
Blessings,
Betsy
