Merry...

This is the start I made after finishing Froth and Bubble. As you can see it is easy and is moving along at a good clip. I am really enjoying it. It's is good to get at something small and fast every once in a while especially when everything else I seem to have on the go is quite large and slow going.
BTW this is Lizzie*Kate's new Merry Christmas series. The first half has been released and I may just finish the next two letters before the rest of "ristmas " comes in. We had visitors yesterday and the day before... a Mama turkey accompanied by her 6 babies (chicks? goslings? cygnets? turklets? ) has been making the rounds from the field across the street, through our yard and into the woods beside the house. I tried to take some pictures, but my photo taking skills are very poor, even at the best of times and yesterday it was dark and rainy and the family stayed close to the fence and the woods so it was difficult to actually see them, never mind get a good shot of them. Perhaps they'll be back this weekend in some sunshine and I can get a photo. The babes were very cute when they jumped up on the fence rail and trotted along.
