Sweets from NO & new stitches

Yesterday we received a package from a friend in New Orleans.  It is a King cake.   Wow!!  It is so good!!!  And such a wonderful surprise.

I decided to start a new project after the last afghan block.  This is Victoria Sampler's Love is Patient....  I started with the bargello heart and now I am working on the over one vines.  It feels good to stitch.  I don't get a lot of time to stitch but it does feel good.
