It snowed yesterday!!!
Yesterday we got about 2 inches of snow. It was so beautiful, but then it started to sleet and ruined it. :( Anywho, we enjoyed it while it was falling and from what the weathermen say (you know they are wrong most of the time so we'll see), we are supposed to get a "major winter event" tomorrow afternoon into sunday! Go figure since tomorrow is my anniversary! It will be 6 years of wedded bliss to my best friend Charlie! LOL We have been together for 8 years, though. I love that guy! we are supposed to go to a Japanese Steakhouse called Sakura, but if it snows like they are calling for, I'll have to postpone it until next weekend. :( It's ok though because the day we got married was the only day in 2002 that it snowed here! We'll just get out the photo albums and look at how much we aged in the last 6 years! lol More gray hair and a little more weight!
Here are some pics of the snow in my backyard yesterday! It's so beautiful when it snows. Everything looks so clean and perfect!

Making Spring Plans
Ok, so hubby and I were sitting around a fire the other night in the back yard ....... we do that sometimes after the little ones go to bed. I love campfires - they are so relaxing! We started talking about Spring and all of the things we want to do this year. So I compiled a list :
1) Build a bigger fire pit in the backyard
2) Turn the corner of the backyard into a screened in area to sit after we go swimming or to just relax under the tree
3) Build a brick patio to put the pool on so it will be level. (last year one side seemed to sink a little after a bad rain storm.
4) "Try" to grow another veggie garden this year
5) Get rid of all the old toys in the yard ( I'm sure there will be more to replace them! lol)
6) Finally - get some camping time in with the kids. We finally have a pop-up now! I am so excited!
I'm hoping my backyard will take on a new look and be more fun to hang out in.
I still have projects to finish up before Spring, though. My quilt, doing another table top to go on the other side of the couch, and trying my hand at ceramics. I have two kilns , slip, and molds so I am excited about that. Hubby needs to finish the bathroom downstairs too.
Whew, I sure do need more hours in a day! So much to do and so little time! lol.
Anywho, I am off to work on filling up the farm girl fun box that I received Saturday! So much beautiful stuff in there! I am throwing in some more goodies and passing it along to the next farm girl.
Take care friends and Happy Crafting!

Hey all!
I'm back....again. I have been really busy in the 'burbs lately. I just had surgery on the 7th of January and now I am feeling better. I had a procedure called Novasure done. It is when the lining of the uterus gets burned to reduce the heavy bleeding associated with Auntie Flo! I felt crappy for a day or two, but now I'm better with the exception of a sore throat from the tube being in there when I was knocked out!
Anywho - I've been working on a few projects. One is the quilt blocks from the MJF winter quilt block swap! These ladies are so talented. My block paled in comparison, but I had fun doing them. I know the quilt will be great when it gets done! I've also made a table top from some of the gorgeous papers given to me by Lisa on MJF (tribalcime). She is such a sweetheart fro sending them to me. They are pics of Victorian women, children, and objects as well as country pics and a few other types. I took pics of the table with the new "top' on it and I will post them on here shortly. I just wanted to let everyone know that I was still kickin'! LOL
Well, I'm off to see my grand baby - I can't get enough of her!! Take care all and Happy Crafting!!
