Here is block 2 along with the first. I'll keep re-showing block one to keep the context. Applique is new to me and I'm building confidence with the technique.
 You are blessed...when you're at the end of your rope.

I am really enjoying this year's Block-Of-The-Month pattern from Val Laird Designs. She is generously designing the blocks based on the Beatitudes. This is block 1.

Before and after shots would be good here. This old ratty dresser wanted to be my new favorite blue. 

Birthday cakes from scratch .

A quick washcloth. A fellow knitter brought a tiny leftover ball from her latest project. Small enough to be thrown away, or whipped into something useful.
