Something else I do

Well, I didn't feel particularly creative this week. I did get the fabric straightened at work, did some rearranging on one wall, (prompted by Jenny P ) and made the crew chili on Friday. I do love cooking for them, they always say they like it and I choose to believe them! I was thinking about a nice relaxing weekend but the Dearly Beloved had another thing on his mind..... SKIING! So off we went. This entails getting up at 5am, yep 0500, and driving for three hours to one of the most beautiful places on the earth. It was a bit overcast (snowing) when we got there but cleared up (became visible at certain elevations) and we had a great time. I am not a natural skier. I go because the rest of the family LOVES it and I want to be with them. I have improved greatly this year, which means they don't have to wait for me as long and can't catch me huffing and puffing with that camera as much as they used to! I have added a picture just in case you think I am making this up.... I do look like a small abomidable snow person.

A Kitty is Born

If you have read Jenny P.'s blog, you know she has links to a lot of fun sites. While looking at Wee Wonderfuls I came across Pointy Kitty. After working on the Cathedral Window quilt, I needed something silly to occupy my time. I got him mostly-done Sunday night and realized I had run out of stuffing. As I was working yesterday, it was no problem to spend yet more money at the shop. So last night I completed my little Tom cat. He is surrounded by a bed of the little flowers I am obsessed with crocheting. I am bringing him to work with me for safety reasons. Brinkley, my lovely golden, thinks I made it for him even though he has his own live cat. Evie,the afore mentioned clever yet wicked cat, seems jealous so there is no telling what she has planned. Hope you like him. Maybe you will spot him somewhere in the store......

Drowning in projects

So many projects, so little time. As if I didn't have enough to do, I am one of the suckers who signed on to do the the cathedral window quilt. I got my fabric, washed it, and got my sewing kit together. What I didn't do was read all the instructions. What I know now is there are a million blocks in this quilt. I may have to hurt Kelly....... Today I completed 3 large blocks, 2 small blocks and I am not sure I want to look at them again. So I went on to a smaller fun project, got mostly done to find out I didn't have enough stuffing to complete it! I did get a small bag done and now I am crocheting tiny flowers again. If all else fails, I can crochet tiny flowers.......
