That title is my best Rosemary Clooney impression. We are covered in a layer of ice and several inches of snow. A great day to stay in and play with this....
I had two gift cards from Christmas burning a hole in my pocket -- one from
Fat Quarter Shop and one from
Pink Chalk Fabrics. Both are now gone! The stack on the left is for my month in my
quilting bee; the two pieces of
Amy Butler's Love are for a skirt; and the bottom stack contains some fabrics I've been coveting for awhile!
And I got three patterns, one is the skirt I mentioned above, and the other two looked interesting. Also, I finally splurged on the
Kona color card...but it's much more than a card. It keeps going and going!
I finally finished my January blocks for Cassie. She asked for windmills of any type, and I love this block! Very fun! I also made the smaller block as a bonus because I cut too many triangles.
And I've been playing with
the new camera. Jaxon wants to be in every shot. "Mommy, I SAID cheese!!"
Finally, I am trying to save enough money for the tuition for
Heather Ross's Fabric Design Class (I'll worry about the flight and hotel later!!). With that goal in mind, I have added some things to
my Etsy store -- and there is more to come.

1. Completed my February blocks...John, this was a fun tutorial!
2. Selected fabrics for my blocks (I'm March). I'm going with this block, but I need to make a practice version before I send out the fabric -- and make sure how much to include in each package.
3. Made my mom some throw pillows with fabrics from Hawaii and Kona cotton. I love to FMQ throw pillows -- it's so fast!
4. Finally got this poster framed and hung -- I bought it over a year ago during our trip to Copenhagen. To the right are a series of Danish Christmas stamp sheets from the '50s, '60s, and '70s. But before we could hang it...
Jaxon had to point out his favorite kings and queens. His favorite is Harald I Bluetooth. Who's yours?
