Quiet here. I'm catching up on laundry, and trying to get motivated to put fresh bedding on boys' beds. I wasted some time this AM getting a few pics of my latest beads.... I think they need a quitled ttree to hang out in. Perhaps I'll fallow Sukochi's lead and make a post car d w/ them
Quilters are people who strip so they won't go topless.
Diana - they are talking about ice down here in GA too. Our home is all electric so we are SOL if the power goes out. :o(

And here's amuch better pic of the hephalump I made a couple weeks ago...
CC - your little owls brought to mind "weebles wobble but they don't fall down". :o)
Prayers going up for those of you in the storms path. Stay warm and stay safe!
Once a great ice storm hit the farmyard. All of the lifestock were struggling to stay on their feet. The cow noticed that her mate did not seem to be sharing in their difficulty. She asked him why, and he replied... "We Bulls wobble, but we don't fall down."

The owls are absolutely precious. I love birds of all kinds and owls are at one of the top spots. Great work.

There are black and white chihuahuas. They are really precious.
Marge, When we lived up north, our house was all electric but we had a wood stove. It was our only source of heat the first year we lived there until we put in central heat. That wood stove was a life saver a couple times. I was making chicken and dumplings for dinner. Wood stove was cranking away and the power went out. Moved pot of dumplings to top of wood stove and kept going. Of course, we had dinner by candlelight that evening.

Marge (AKA Dimples): I am being a bit lazy
Marge, if that's what you call lazy, I must be dead! Whew, I'm tired just reading about your day.
I did get my DGS's Peanuts quilt top done, put the last border on and now I'm tired. My DGGS's quilt is partly sewn. I'm going to post a pic so I could get everyone's ideas of how to proceed. Would you put sashing in between rows, how would you border it, etc.? I have plenty of leftover fabric from the large one, just need to make the crib sized one now. This is the finished top, the binding will be the red fabric and I'm going to back it with a blue flannel, it's 68" x 83". The bottom one is the start of the crib or floor quilt for him to play on. This is the one I'll try the fleece backing on when finished. Right now it measures 16.5" x 25" when I get the rows sewn together.

CC, your owls are just the cutest things! Did you make them to hang on a chain, they'd make adorable and fun necklaces.
CC, you are getting better and better with your bead making, your hephalump is adorable!!!!!!!!
Marie - I think that i would put something between the blocks.
Marie love the quilts. I suppose you could add sashing depending on how big you want to make the quilt. My eyes were confused for a minute as I couldn't make out the pattern. It looks different every time I look at the picture. Think I should take my distance glasses off!!
I have been to my quilt class tonight, did very little apart from chat. I did sort out the squares for my goddaughters Twister quilt but it is so good to have some adult girl talk instead of the banter that goes on at work. the talk from the guys at work is either football ( soccer) or "boy talk". To spend a couple of hours with some same minded females is great.
We are expecting snow here tomorrow and I have an all day quilt session Saturday morning, I have decided I will walk if I have to! Although the lady who teaches said her husband would come and pick me up if I can't get there in my car ( he has a 4 wheel drive).
Be glad when the weekend comes.
Hope you all keep warm and cosy.

An Ice storm?!!! in Utah? I have lived here my whole life, and never seen such crazy weather. The inversion is sooo bad that the air aloft is about 40 degrees. By the time the rain hits the ground in the inversion, where it is a whopping 18 degrees, It freezes instantly. My car is a block of ice. I hope that it didn't ruin the cloth top of my car.
