Snowbound Pastime

Thank you to Lori of Humble Quilts for giving me something to do during these homebound days!

Cookie Party

Every year my friend, Kate, has a cookie decorating party. We all take cookies and mail them to our college-age children for Valentine's Day. And keep a few for ourselves. We need energy for all that snow-shoveling!

Blizzard of 2010

I know you are tired of seeing these snow pictures.

Well, so are we!

It started to snow yesterday at 10:30 a.m. and didn't stop until 5:00 p.m. tonight. We measured 28" in our backyard.

Nine Patch Wedding Quilt

Here is the finished quilt that I mentioned a few days ago. It was a One-A-Day Quilt Along led by Amanda of crazymom quilts. Loved working on it - so bright and cheerful. I just mailed it to Florida where I will join it next weekend and present it to my nephew and his bride.

Groundhog Day Snowfall

The snow started around 5:00 p.m. yesterday, on Groundhog Day (I think I heard that he did see his shadow). We woke up this morning to 3-4 inches of wet, slushy snow. It's getting hard to keep up with the measurements since there was already snow on the ground from the weekend. Alas, school was not cancelled for my sulky teenager so off we went. Did you notice the flying cardinal in the picture? Nellie did.

Snowy Day in Late January

A powdery snow fell all day yesterday, about 5-6 inches for us. This picture was taken at sunset, as I went out to shovel.
