And Again

It is snowing AGAIN this weekend. I am beginning to think I am in a bad dream. Not only is it snowing this weekend but the rumor is that next weekend we will get major snow. Unbelievable!!!

I'm still working on the RRCB mystery. Down to the last borders. I hope to get this finished today. It is very unlikely that I will venture into town to get any batting, it's crazy down here when it snows.

A friend recommended I watch The Expendables this weekend. I did, last night, against my better judgement. What a bloody movie. I should have known better!!

I have a pork roast in the crock pot and I am about to make some of Judy L's donut muffins. Then I will settle down at the machine and hopefully get my borders on while watching it snow.

It's Snowing AGAIN!!!

I think this is the third snowfall this year. I have to admit it is very pretty but that is as far as it goes. It can stop any time!!

Kendall was at my house for the weekend. We watched movies, read books, played games and she played with the dogs. I did get a little sewing in while she watched one of her movies for the third or fourth time. Roll, Roll Cotton Boll is coming along - Bonnie Hunter's mystery.

Kendall gave each of the dogs bows around their necks. Lucky even got one on his leg.

We had fun putting together her princess puzzle. With the snow comes a day at home. I usually go to K's house to babysit on Monday but when it snows in the South we pretty much close up shop and stay home. So - off to the sewing machine!

Destructo Dog

He looks harmless.

Another Christmas quilt from a Thimbleberries pattern. This one has also been in the works for a long time. Again, 2004 maybe. It goes in the waiting to be quilted stack.

Not What I Expected

The last couple of years there has been way too much snow for North Carolina. I don't like it a bit, not one bit!

Holiday Lights by Alex Anderson, a retreat project from 2009. My version is minus the lights but I added some crystals. I still have to put more on but it did have enough to hang. It sparkles in the sun, love it!

Happy New Year

I have been busy, enjoying the season, working on projects. I finally finished Hometown Christmas. I think I started this one in 2004 or 5, can't remember when it came out. It is finished and on the guest bed. These pics are all from my cell phone - so not the best but quick and fun.

Little Kendall all snuggled in under the new quilt. She was over for a baking weekend. We had a great time. I wish the other grand kids lived closer but Noelle and her family were here for the week of Thanksgiving. It was so nice to have 4 of the grand kids together. Lucky was busy. He must have seen a cat in the backyard. He is a rescued dog, I am beginning to understand why he was homeless. This is the second set of blinds for the bedroom, each set gets cheaper. Think I am going to vinyl this time.

Some of the string blocks for Bonnie Hunter's current mystery.

A customer's t-shirt quilt. I didn't just quilt this one but made it start to finish.

Just some of the things keeping me busy. I hope everyone has a fantastic New Year holiday! Stay safe and keep stitching!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving!! I am getting ready to go to town and pick up those last minute items. Have to get some fresh shrimp and some of the local winery's holiday wine, then it's off to visit with family. Four of the grand kids are together this week, having a great time playing together. There are two 3 year olds, one 5 and baby Grady.

I have been able to sneak in a little sewing and knitting this week. Eighty of the scrappy stars are done and ready to be pressed, Hometown Christmas is loaded on the quilting machine and progress continues on my socks. I think I am the world's slowest knitter!

He's Just Too Cute!!
