I feel guilty when I complain about working, 'cause I'm lucky to have a good job, but I'd love to be home -- especially to have more time with my parents. We have a sad retirement story here at work -- a coworker was to retire this month but he just found out he has terminal cancer. So, he'll keep working as long as he can for the benefits. Sure makes one grateful for what one has!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809008266578798843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-37294293993916280882007-06-02T00:42:00.000+10:002007-06-02T00:42:00.000+10:00The spider web blocks are so bright and colorful. ...The spider web blocks are so bright and colorful.

Why not take the blocks to your fabric shop, unroll a bolt a little, and place your blocks apart on the fabric to get an idea?
