Wow, beautiful blanket! How long did that take you?

Not very many days, but a lot of hours. ;-) I finished it in less than a week, but I got a bit obsessed with it. I kind of hoped to go up there this weekend to give it to the littlest niece, but it didn't happen yesterday and tomorrow's not looking good, either. Next weekend, maybe. Eek...it'll already be the 15th!

Lovely photographs! Thank you for sharing them with us. Looks like a really beautiful church! It's a shame there are so many ugly ones in this country. :-\ The Byzantine churches in particular see their artwork as something more than just art - more of a prayer in visual form. If that makes sense.

Actually, after having written that, I found this article, which says things a bit better than I just did...but they use that same phrase, more or less, so I guess I'm going OK. ;-)

Your new blanket is beautiful, and looks thick and soft :~)

Thanks for the troop support news. Thank you for thanking them. :~)

I’ve been a little distracted, Bay’s feet hurt and I’ve been pretty worried about him, but I’ve hopefully got a guy coming on Monday that will help him be right again.
