Blocks II

I've done it again!  I made blocks for a friend's birthday present.
Hopefully she won't read this and the surprise won't be spoiled.
I had a small predicament though when I decided to craft these for this particular friend.
See....she's getting married in less than 1 year.
So after much thought I finally figured out a solution!
On one side of the blocks it says:
*MISS*-----* (12 total blocks)
On the other side it says:
MRS--------- (12 total blocks)
I still need to add ribbon to these....I'm thinking red will work best.  
Part of me wishes I would have done white letters, maybe they would have popped more against the star background.  I'm still trying to gain an eye for this.  
Anyways I really hope that she likes these!
One of these days I'll have to do a tutorial to teach everyone how to make this very simple craft!

I spent most of my afternoon finishing these.  
All morning I spent on the couch...in my pajamas, perfectly content watching too much television, knitting, and enjoying my down day.  
Bud knew I had no intention of achieving anything serious today and was gracious enough to encourage I take an off day.  Since I woke up at 7:30 (not by choice, I literally always wake up early) I decided at around 11:45 to take a nap.  It was a wonderfully cozy and fulfilling 1 hour nap!
Enough of a nap that afterwards I finally showered and got a few things tackled around the house, not much, but enough.  I can't help myself.  
Now it's back to watch some NCIS (marathon all day!) and knit until it's time to start a new roll of yarn!
I hope everyone is having a blessed Saturday.
