We all get to vote on these, right?? ;)<br />All told though, that REALLY isn't that bad. I'm sure most of us have twice as many WIP's 'lurking' about.

I really don't enjoy stitching with three strands of thread--it is so hard to keep them from twisting!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808551071790722939.post-64993068150538367702013-01-19T03:46:57.938-08:002013-01-19T03:46:57.938-08:00Nice progress on your WIPs!

I've noticed some new bird songs in our area although I've not seen them yet but it has me thinking some of the spring birds are back, even though it's really early for them.Pam in ILhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09699986749730800604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808551071790722939.post-73216868416092594172013-01-18T17:18:13.205-08:002013-01-18T17:18:13.205-08:00I love the Noah's Ark feather tree and Rabbit ...I love the Noah's Ark feather tree and Rabbit Alphabet.

Then I need to do a brief stint in letters... S-N-O-W for my wall decor. In between showing NOEL and LOVE I thought I would do that! Were the Grosbeaks making a lovely sound or just noisy? Gotta check my Petersons!
