So, in spite of the fact that I sometimes can't get the pics on this board to print (if they have that little safety pin thingy up in the corner, a lot of the time, my printer will just give me an empty square), yours did, and I am so happy to head out right now and make one of these squares. Thank you thank you thank you.
This is so funny, not crossing the yard at night. I totally understand.
Years ago my studio was in the workshop attached to the nearby garage. I used to love to walk there after supper and spend my late hours sewing. DH worked nights so I was all alone, in a
new house in the woods. Calling it a night, I turned the studio lights out and stepped out my door to head to the house in pitch darkness. The solar motion light would go on, it would, it would so I didn't think twice and stepped right into something big and hard, just out of the motion detector. Believe me, I froze and really couldn't move for what seemed like forever.
When I came to my senses, I realized this whatever wasn't moving either. I planned my next move, had to do something, anything. So I moved, slowly feeling my way up and down this stranger that should not be there. It didn't budge. I made my way around the unknown until getting into the motion light action area. BLINK, lights on, I am safe again, I can breath. Then all by myself in the dark woods I started to laugh when I found myself staring at a handcart my DH had left by the door just before leaving for work. I still break out in a sweat when I recall this dangerous encounter with the unmovable horns.
So what do you have, alligators?
I moved my studio into the house after that an boy do I miss the workshop studio.
