What's been going on at our house...

Snowmobiling around the yard with Daddy. Amelia was so excited to do this. 2 years ago, she was terrified and hated the noise. This year, she begged to go on it. Now she wants HER OWN 'sled' so that she can go snowmobiling with Daddy; who, by the way, is in Vermont right now for a few days, doing just that.

Building a snow person lounging around. The snow wasn't strong enough to have a "regulation" snowman so Chris laid him down. Very creative.



Here are the best ones yet. Punkie has taken to tossing things in the air in the house. She was playing with her coloring tote, tossing it around. I was on the computer in the other room and Chris was in the living room, on the phone.

Next thing I hear is Chris "HOW did you manage to do THAT???!" as he was laughing. And then Amelia is crying. I pop around the corner to see what's going on. This is what I see...


SOMEHOW she tossed her tote in the air and it got hooked on our ceiling fan. Mind you, we have cathedral ceilings...

And here's Punkie, all upset because we were laughing.... not AT her but at her. She didn't find it very funny.

Good times!
Enjoy your day!

My latest projects... swaps!

Work REALLY gets in the way of play time! I haven't had much time to sew but I've been trying to get things done since I have a few deadlines.

First, my signature blocks for Rachel's modern siggy block swap.


76 done. 25 more to go. I used Snow Flower by Dena Designs for FreeSpirit fabrics. I have to cut off all my stray threads too... mental note.

Next, my pot holders for the potholder pass. They aren't finished yet. I need to put on the binding. I used Eva by Moda. The colors here in the pictures are a bit drab. They are a bit brighter in person.

If I have time, I have plans to make an embroidered kitchen towel to go with them. I love the pink paisley, flowery one. I plan to use more of this in another project brewing in my head. But that's for another time.

Once these projects are done, my sewing machine will go in for service. Nothing is wrong with it but I have a 3 year plan for free service so I might as well use it!

AND then I have plans to continue on my lap quilt, move into my new sewing room which will force me to organize my fabric stash - it's growing and exploding around me. And move onto Easter projects. I have something very cute in mind to do for the kiddos. :)

Enjoy your day!
