Hoppington Hill and some fussy finishing

Hi All.  I know I have been missing.  Mom always said that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.  I have to admit that cabin fever or winter doldrums have found me.  It snows and then it gets really cold.  Too cold to go out or do anything.  I find it difficult to find any ambition for much of anything.  The weather guy now promises warmer temperatures.  We are cheering for temperatures in the 20s.  I find it hard to believe these snow banks will ever melt.  But slowly we are seeing signs.  The Lake George Winter Carnival was a huge success and the ice sculptures will hang around for weeks to come.  I have done a bit of stitching.  I did do the Victoria Sampler's tray project.  There was two days of finish work there.  I am not thrilled with the way it came out but it is done.  I have also been working away on Hoppington Hill.  One more block to stitch.

I am enjoying the spring colors but I find it hard to settle down and work on it.
