I'm thinking of doing a sort of attic window with each block. Maybe embroider something different in each block. I dunno.

I found one of the "donut hole" tea pots on Ebay. Bought it and put it on the counter- it is so cool! Missed out on 2 others that were pretty neat looking. Weird- it came from Philadelphia- 2 hours away.
Did get one that is a sewing machine with fabric. It is now in my sewing room.

But are you sweet and innocent and will give me hugs and kisses and help me eat my ice cream? ;)
