Yet another action packed weekend............

I'm a bit pooped but elated by all the activities and outcome from this past weekend!!! Friday night, you could find Shirley and me at the Memories Galore crop from 6:00 p.m. to midnight and as always, had a bunch o' fun!!! Then, bright and early to the Country Piecemaker's quilt guild meeting with Augusta Cole's curved log cabin class following from 1:00 - 7:00. Have I mentioned how much I adore Augusta????And I am in serious love with my calming, oceanic blocks, can't wait till I get back to them. And what occasion would be complete without dearheart Shirley clothed with her shirt wrong-side out????? And THE most glorious of sunsets, OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!!! Perfect finish to a perfect day.... Then Saturday was Valentine's Day with John gifting me the most dear little Scottie purse that's ever been created, love that he loves me so......... Breakfast at Cracker Barrel, then a few errands and back in time for a little nap......

Next came a play date on Monday with Ellen and Margaret at Ellen's house and Ellen opened up her lovely home and studio to us and WOW, does she have the treasures or what????? We all created so many lovelies, so varied, so interesting, in the fervent hope that we will be able to incorporate these luscious bits into Margo's classes........... They were all created with our embellisher machines and Margaret gave us each THE most glorious piece of diaper lining, dyed with printer ink - see, it's not just for poop anymore!!! Beware the artist, nothing is sacred or off limits from becoming an art implement, tutu funny!!!!!!!

Does it get any cuter than this??????

In need of a potholder for an exchange challenge, I returned to the humble origins of the loomed potholders we all made as children. Surprisingly, or NOT, these bits o' childhood entertainment aren't all that easy to find. Everything now has either a motor or computer connection............ But I found many a delightful moment in creating patterned potholders, who gnu, and then I simply HAD to alter their usage and enhance their appeal............. More to come but for now, just enjoy this cutie pincushion............

I fell for it, again......................

Thankfully, it was figuratively, not physically............ Took even more pics of Monday's snowfall and yes, it's taken me this long to post as I thought perhaps, if I ignored it long enough, it would ALL simply go away. Just FYI, didn't work.......... Yesterday, they presented this treasured bit o' info - we've already had more snowfall this season than the last FIVE winters COMBINED - DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They're forecasting a 70% chance for Monday - better not, I have an extremely necessary play date with Ellen and Margaret, mad scientists alike, love their faces!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No mo' sno!!! No mo' sno!!! Come on, all together now, No mo' snow!!!

Sno' ones home....................

Okay, pretty, fluffy and crispy white, but TWICE in one weekend, come on, ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!!! I have more than a winter's worth o' pics, let's just quietly and quickly move on to Spring, and no one will get hurt, sorry Phil............ And how groovy cool that Brian Waters of the Kansas City Chiefs received the Man of the Year award for his humanitarian efforts, YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
