Snow Storm

Wow...it's still snowing! Where I work sent us home at noon today due to inclement weather! The roads are icky and when I came home I ate lunch and then took a nap. When I got up I called Jen and talked to her...YEAH Kristie received her quilt.

I was sooo excited that she received it...Jen did a lot of work on the quilt...she did all the piecing of the blocks together, quilting and making the label. Cindy was wonderful and did the binding. IT is a beautiful quilt and I am glad that I was included in this team project but wow how hard is it to keep a secret from a quilt blog buddy.

I still haven't taken my Christmas tree down and Mark thinks that witht he poor weather I should take it down...I just don't feel like it. I teased Jen and said maybe I will keep it up until next Christmas. I am hoping to do this Saturday! I also need to hopefully go out and get my digital camera so I can take of my Works in Progress and maybe my quilting room so that I will get started on that. There is talk of an intervention (LOL)...my friends know me too well and I just haven't had the initiative to start cleaning. Ohh well at least I can own up to my faults.

Snow, snow and more snow...

Last night I met my friends Jen, Cindy, and Sherry for dinner at Bakers Square....then we were off to Pached works to play poker. I wasn't going to go but the night before I decided to go.....thanks Jen for being such a good friend and being supportive. I had a great time. Afterwards we went back to Bakers Square for pie. Ummmm pie!!!! Julie and her mom joined us and I had a good time just enjoying friends company. I love the fabric we got ... there is a dark blue background with snow flakes on it....some of the snowflakes are silver....ohhh I needed more fabric like I needed a hole in the head but well I just couldn't resist....FABRIC...what am I going to do with it.

I still haven't done anything with cleaning my quilt room and now I have more fabric to find a home for.

Ohh Sherry brought us a gift....Bella Charm Pack and a really cute snowflake ornament...which is quite appropriate as tonight we have snow falling right now! Wow we have been having a lot of snow lately. In fact Jen helped me get weight in the back of my car last night. I drive a Camaro and well it is a rear wheel drive car and it does not like the slippery weather and snow.

I can't beleive that we have more snow coming down....I hope that they do a better job cleaning up the snow....right now they have a news item on the poor snow removal we had this last snow storm. They are putting down salt but I think theyshould be plowing....ohh my right now there is a new report about a snow plow over on the side of the road for 40 mintues...ohhh my...we are having some snow issues here. Hope everyone is home warm and toasty under a wonderful quilt.

Not Much Quilting Going On

Well I had to take all of my stuff upstairs and put it in the quilting room. I was spread out on our first floor and was working on blocks down here. Well Mark wants to tear out the carpeting tomorrow so I took everything upstairs last night.

I was at my Mom's birthday party today at my brother's house. I made a homemade carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I think everyone likes the frosting the best. Terry, my sister-in-law made Chicken Enchiladas...YUM!

I was going to go to Weight Watchers this morning but instead I slept in. I really need to get back on track....does anyone have any tips...I love fast food and ice cream...both do me in every time. Last time I was on Weight Watchers I lost 30 lbs. I gained it all back so I really need to buckle down. I know I can do it I just can't convince myself to get started. I keep saying to myself I will start tomorrow. I also get depressed thinking about how much I have to lose...there is not a picture of me on my website because I don't like how I look. Okay enough of my feeling sorry for myself when I created my own mess.

I looked at a couple of my projects tonight and I hope to get some started tomorrow. I also have to do laundry. I really do not like cleaning or laundry...it just cuts into my quilting time. I can't believe how many projects I have started. I didn't count and am afraid to. I have them hidden all over the quilt room. Some are in bags...some are piled together, some are in a tin...it is mind boggling how all these started tops multiply like rabbits. Where do they come from and when did I have the time to start all of them. Tomorrow I am hoping to work on picking out some more of the fabrics for my egg money quilt. I just feel like my days slide by. I have been so tired and my planters faciatis is just horrible lately.

I want to start working on the furniture for my quilt room but again I just haven't had time. Ohh well I'll just add that to my to do list which is getting longer by the minute. I also have to work on a mess in my kitchen tomorrow. Ohh how the day goes so quickly when you are having fun. Any ideas on how to get all this done esp all the projects that are started?
