~ Weekend News ~

Hi everyone, hope you are having a nice weekend. Today we've spent most of the day watching sports but let me tell you what I did yesterday. Lisa and I went to a sewing and craft festival, it was so much fun...there was so much to see and do. Lots and lots of quilting and sewing booths and lots of little workshops you could sign up for. Lisa and I both took a punch needle class..... This was our project...a small basket of flowers. After learning how to mount the fabric on the form and thread the needle....which for me was kind of tricky, we punch needled the flowers and greenery and then added the basket charm and ribbon. I love this little project...and I think I see a new hobby in my future:). I also made this....

little needle keep. This is a little heart shaped yo~yo, for my first one I'm happy with it but I'm going to stick with the traditional round yo~yo. I bought a little yo~yo maker and for my first project plan to make a little table runner. Have a nice evening, hugs, Linda

It is....

a soggy Saturday here. We have had so much rain the past few weeks and more is forecast for every day next week. I think "Mother Nature" has forgotten that tomorrow is the first day of Spring. For me, I'm going to have a cozy weekend indoors...I'm going to finish J. Chiaverini's latest novel, The Union Quilters which I have thoroughly enjoyed. She is a wonderful author, I've read all her books and have never been disappointed. And then I have two cozy mysteries by Laura Childs........

waiting in the wings. Have a happy weekend and please send the sun my way...hugs, Linda

~ Happy Saint Patrick's Day ~

We have .....

been having lots of rain and more wonderful Spring showers are in our forecast. With all the rain my little Dewdrops....are just making an appearance and.........

so are the Calla Lilies. So far.....

I spotted three nice buds.....

here is the third one peeking out from under the leaf, it's hiding from me. Not to worry I'm not going to pick you until your are blooming.....:). There are more little buds just starting to come up, can hardly wait for lots of these pretties.

Well, I'm off to the grocery store.....I need to get a few more things for our Saint Patrick's Day dinner.....hugs, Linda

And The Winner Is....

"The King's Speech!" This was a great movie and I'm so happy... it won for best picture....the acting was just awesome. I hope you had a chance to see this movie, if you haven't and it's still showing in your area go see it....you are in for a treat...hugs, Linda

~ A Wild Weather Weekend ~

Hi everyone, the weekend is nearly here and we are having some wild, wild, weather here. It has been raining pots and pans and we might even get a touch of snow...now that would be amazing since the elevation here is 25...but I would love it. Usually we like to do a bit of running around on the weekend but this weekend I think we'll just be staying in and keeping warm and cozy. If that's the case, I'll be working on a couple of sweet stitchies of the Sampler Girl's.One is the "Queen of Hearts" and I'll be finishing her as a pincushion and the other is a fun Irish Cupboard Sampler.......plus

I'm reading an excellent book, The Forgotten Garden....it is so good I can hardly put it down and the latest......

edition of Southern Lady just arrived...it is one of the prettiest magazine, full of wonderful recipes and Southern charm...I love it. So I think I'm set for whatever Mother Nature sends my way......you have a cozy weekend too...hugs, Linda
