Snow, snow, snow. Winter is here!!
Had a good week. Work is still staying about two weeks ahead of appointments. Want to keep that going but I know that will be changing, lots of alteration appointments scheduled for this weekend. Hate it when we are working only on today or tomorrow's work. Stressful!! Will probably be working some longer hours to keep ahead.
Had a good sewing club on Wednesday. Found a place to have the meetings instead of someone's home that way more people can attend. Working on a large totebag. Most will be using it to carry sewing supplies to the meetings. Had eight attend with two new members. Planning on making potholders at the next meeting. Asking more people to come and join us as we sew. Exciting!! Ladies want to make purses, sweatshirt jackets, tablerunners, etc. Some are interested in joing the local quilting guild.
Don had a busy last week, watched grandkids everyday. He enjoys that so much. He is usually tired but loves it. Since he has fatigue with his GBS (gullian barre syndrome), he spent the weekend resting. Watched grandkids, three days this week. He is seeing stuff he missed when our kids were little because he was working two jobs. He loves it!! We are watching Jen's kids on Saturday when they get there taxes done.

What a good weekend!
Had a great weekend! Last weekend! Had a nice birthday on Sunday, the 29th! Lots of birthday wishes and phone calls and visits. Great to hear from everyone. Thanks!
Moved the computer and desk down stairs. Fits along the wall with the tv. Will now need to rearrange the items on the wall. When Jen and Rob visited, Rob worked on the desk top and it works much quicker. Don helped take pictures of the club project and figured out how to send in an email. Now need to work on how to load pictures for the blog.
Nicole, Chad, Vanessa and Rebecca stopped in and Jenny, Rob, Rayna and Seth also stopped in. Always great to see the grandkids. Vanessa was reading and reading. Rebecca was enjoying purble place on the computer. Rayna was thrilled with the birthday cupcake she helped make for me. Seth was learning to walk and he will be running soon.
Has been a fast week and a slow week. Why does the day seem to go so slow but the week goes really fast. I will never figured that out!!??!!
Need to work on writing up the pattern for the club project and get ready for the meeting on Wednesday.

Time to get started blogging!
I've been wanting to start blogging for quite some time, so it's my birthday gift to me. It's now or never!!! So this will be a learning process as I figure out how to blog.
I am on a high after returning last week from the yearly quilt guild retreat. Had a GREAT time - good friends, good classes, good accommendations!! That was a busy weekend, I completed two flower snippet holders (given away for the bag raffles), pleather purse, Laura's diaper bag, Ohio star block and started the "make my day quilt" (will post pictures when I fugure out how). I'm pleased I got the diaper bag done (usually I'm working on a project at the last minute) for Laura's baby shower (Feb. 5th). Just have to stuff it full of baby items.
Need to get started on the project for our local sewing and quilting club meeting in Feb. Have to remember how I made the tote bag and write down the directions. Will try to post pictures about the project.
This weekend is not a busy weekend, at least not yet. See what the weather does. Would like to go shopping in Lima. Want to rearrange the living room to get the computer desk down stairs (out of my sewing studio). We'll have to see if all fits!!!???!!! Then I would like to get working on Carol's class, the make my day quilt. And practice free motion quilting the way Sharon taught at retreat.
Really need to make a list of ufo's. And then get working on them. Need to reaarange and clean (really clean up) my sewing studio. Need to make a list of recipes to work into points (weight is coming off slow but coming off). Also need to do the normal weekly chores. Laundry, cleaning, cooking,. etc., etc., and etc.
