One step closer to hanging over the mantle

Here are the pictures of the blocks for my Irish Heritage Wall Hanging (click on each image for a better view!) My hubbie loves it and since he is the Irishman in the family (along with my Prince of course) I am happy! It makes me feel so good that he takes such an interest in what I create, he is such a good man...I think I'll keep him! I am going to work on the sashes and the triangles today and I hope I have more progress to post tomorrow........

While I was happily sewing along the plumber spent the better part of the day earning his $450 yesterday. It seems that there were roots growing in our septic lines that had to go. It was so necessary but I keep thinking imagine all the fabric I could have bought! Or as my little Prince was thinking how many Legos or monster trucks would that be!

On a much more serious note, I am sure like me, you are praying for those poor people in Japan. The devastation is just unthinkable. The pictures are so vivid, but I just can not imagine how horrible it must be for everyone there.
