I thought it such a good idea that I started my own list and the one thing on my list every day (at least for 16 days) so far has been to prepare one block for applique of Wild Promagranate. And that has been so much fun--love those larger pieces and of course I took the easy way out--got a kit! Off to the next item on my list.

Your "5 things a day" idea sounds excellent! I plan most of my projects for the year in January and then schedule them out during the year - I build in time for lost days, new ideas, new projects. I never get everything done, but I know what I absolutely want to accomplish and focus on those things. Usually it works...suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432352442859238887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903254831788244923.post-45926301665848192252010-01-25T10:25:03.362-06:002010-01-25T10:25:03.362-06:00I'm glad to hear you like writing to us Alma -...I'm glad to hear you like writing to us Alma - I have enjoyed your blog immensely.

The new book sounds wonderful.<br /><br />The design in memory of your great great great great grandmother really made me sit up and take notice. She died in 1877 and my husband's grandmother was born only 10 years before in 1867!! These dates fascinated me! You go six generations back to 1877 and my husband goes two generations back to a similar time! My lovely MIL, who sadly passed away just before Christmas, at 100 (I stitched Petites Lettres Rouge for her 100th birthday) was the last of 12 children and was born in 1909 when her mum was 42 years old. MIL gave birth to DH when she was 38 years old!<br /><br />In England we have a Five a Day Advertising campaign encouraging people to eat five pieces of fruit or veg a day to keep the body healthy. It now looks like accomplishing five jobs a day keeps the mind healthy - what a great idea :>)<br />Angela xxangelaswebyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450570230777338043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903254831788244923.post-76824570053623806642010-01-24T19:54:18.654-06:002010-01-24T19:54:18.654-06:00Thank you Alma and Barb for giving us such beautif...Thank you Alma and Barb for giving us such beautiful quilting and needlework patterns...we appreciate it so much.

I thought since ..."Clean for an hour"????<br />I thought since you were famous you surely didn't have to do mundane tasks such as cleaning. If you tell me you have to cook also, all my illusions are<br />shattered. Love you, love<br />your stuff. Keep working<br />on the five and strive to <br />be really rich instead of<br />just famous and maybe you<br />won't have to clean for an hour.Dorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877351988254058461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903254831788244923.post-7553244842176010122010-01-23T08:21:25.009-06:002010-01-23T08:21:25.009-06:00So excited to see the new pretties!
