I have been busy elsewhere and thought it was about time to at least wish everyone a "Joyous Easter".
I have lots of new things going on and will share them as soon as I can....

LOSING IT!!!

I don't know what is happeneing to my Blog but I lost some things on my sidebar and other things were duplicated.and none were my doing!

I had signed on the Pat Winter's Blog to post a picture of her new book and enter a draw for the book.

I have posted a picture of it again Pat, sorry for the confusion.

Woops I got Side-Tracked

The storm finally passed and we have a lovely sunny day. I was washing the bed linens and decided it was a great day to hang it outside..
When I went out on the deck I discovered it had a lot of snow, so decided i better sweep it off. As I proceeded I realized the snow was very heavy.... light bulb went on......Yep.... build a snowman... Well I hadn't done that for many years but hey, the kid in me wanted out....so I went back inside to get my mitts and coat and boots..... I left the glass door open as I knew I was going right back out.....

I was so excited!!!! yep..... gonna build a snowman..... won't DH be surprised when he gets home!!! So I looked up my favorite baseball cap.... oneBeaded with sequins.. of course!!;-)...(remember my motto is "Life's Short....Wear Sequins") a scarf, twigs, bottle caps for the features and a carrot for the nose.... Gee whiz, I was so excited I took a bite off the carrot!! Oh well so he has a stubby nose hee hee.....We're all set..... Out we go..... but hey..... listen ... you haven't heard the best part yet!!

I took off out the door and yep, you guessed it. I forgot to open the screen! Splat....the screen went flying and I did too. Is someone trying to tell me I am tooooooo old for all this excitement!?!
I was not discouraged.... if my friend Tammy can make snow angels in her PJ's surely I can pull this caper off!!
So as you can see by the picture I did succeed and not only built a snowman but made another memory to make me smile....
Oh and yes..... won't DH be glad I have another request on the "Honey-Do List"
Now I will go hang out the laundry!

FALLING LEAVES workshop

This is Kathleen's quilt that inspired me.Isn't it gorgeous!

I had the pleasure of taking a workshop with Kathleen Bissett last Saturday. Kathleen is an

International quilting teacher and is particularly well known for her "Leaves"

The workshop was so much fun and I nearly finished my quilt which is not something I usually do in a class. This one was so much fun. Layering leaves and then tulle netting 2 or 3 times and on the final layer 3 dimentional leaves were made and scrunched, then tacked in place with matching thread. You can see Kathy's quilts on the wall and see some of the students working on their quilt.Hope you enjoy the pictures and be sure and take a peek at Kathleen's work.

Gallery News

Here's Jeff posing beside one of his pieces

Here is my Hubby admiring some of the pottery...

Susan is in the white sweater.

Hi everyone, I hope your week-end was a good one. We are still experiencing winter here in my neck of the woods. Ice pellets have been covering everything for hours and will go on all night....Oh how I long for Spring.....

My Hubby and I attended another Gallery Opening on Sunday. My friend Susan Clark is the quilter that made all these beautiful pieces. Jeff Lownsbury and his students were responsible for the beautiful pottery pieces on display. It is always a pleasure to support our local artists. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Have a Great Week-End

Look What I Got!!

I was so excited when the mailman left a parcel at my door to-day. It was from my dear blogging friend Monica Magnus. I had signed on her blog to take part in Pay it Forward. I can hardly wait to play with all these wonderful things. Look at the face! Too cute and I got chocolate hugs and a fortune cookie andall kinds of little extras. The fabric on the bottom was used to wrap it all in. Thank-you so much Monica. You are such an inspiration.
Now I really must get on with my obligation to Pay it Forward too.Are we girls suppose to be having this much fun!
((((hugs)))))

Did You See What I Saw?

WOW!! did you see the eclipse of the moon? It was a beautiful sight. I nipped the top pictures from my daughters blog which she took herself,,,, you should have a look at her blog as she is a very talented artist and writer(Proud Mother got sidetracked!!)but the others I took myself. Now the big orange one was a terrific opportunity to get this shot as I rode past on my broom!!!!!VBG
Oh Yes I forgot to mention the only picture I REALLY got was the dark one with 3 specks in the middle!!!!!!!!!!hahahahahhaha The others I really got from the TV!!!!!!
OK so I haven't had enough sleep lately and I'm giddy!!!!!!I think I better go to bed!
