Janice, can you show me a block or so of your 't-shirt' quilt is it similar to the rag quilt I'm going to do??? You should have travelled here, think of the fun sewing and crafting we could have done this week...imagine what we'd accomplish..

Went to the post office to make sure Cedric and Bailey got away and there was a few gnomes from the Canada swap group waiting to be picked up..off to the grocery store and omg you could smell the hot cross buns baking from outside so you could only purchase pkg. of 8..had to have them..still hot when I got home...

It's bright and not overly cold so took down all the lights, put away santa and the metal Christmas trees..this aft on my break I'll take down the front deck tree..now that the wind is down I'll start a fire..made about 5 trips to the pit with tree brances...won't rush to put things away from inside but perhaps I should while I can make it to the back shed without 4' feet of snow...whatever I get packed up today I'll leave for the boys coming tonight to store..am sure the 10 totes I have will be easy to stay and mice free...

Looked at the damage of the fence, it was neighbors large back fenceline tree that came down..think it was his fence not mine otherwise I'd be calling the insurance so that it can be replaced come spring...maybe I'll have a talk with him re paying 1/2 deductable so that it does get done..hate not having something that divides us..

Carol, big job cleaning up..even the wet vac helping so much it's getting the water emptied from it..heavy for us gals..did the water reach your Christmas rec.room? Dehumidifiers would help take the dampness out..does your furnace have one? guess no swimming for you this week or was it also this week that it's closed...so many questions right?

Stacey, yes it does cost to do crafting but you are right, so many more things we could get into trouble with..I've enough craft materials in knitting/sewing/crochet/stained glass/embroidery/scrapbooking and painting etc. etc. that one would think I wouldn't have to go out and buy anything to work on but each time a project comes up, there is always something more I need..sure it's the same with all of you

Carol, no my Janome is a top make that allows me to virtually sew any type of fabric...just wish I had a long arm commercial unit, would make it easier but for the amount I do (and I don't want to encourage anyone bringing me more projects) it will do...

Stacey, the tarp cover is for a scoot...
