94.8 for 2014

 I hope the weather people are happy now that they can say we broke the record for snowfall.  Go away please.

 I made some angels last  week.  The credit really belongs to someone who made this beautiful quilt that I rescued.  I did make the yo-yos.

And the person that did this beautiful embroidery, with hand crocheted trim.  It was pretty ragged on one side but I worked around it to make the dress.  The body is a Pat Beam pattern.

I hope today's weather has made you happy, whatever it is.  Lots of people are still without power here due to the storms and strong winds, they are not so happy.  The sun keeps popping out just to tease us I think.

Easter crafts at the library.

A fun hour at Melvindale Public Library.  John made four crafts in about an hour with Ms. Teresa and Mr. Michael (and Mom Rachel helped a little). We  appreciate the events for children held by the library.  It is a good thing for the children to experience.

Hello friends, I appreciate your comments of late and am so glad to hear of better weather for y'all (at least some of us).

April

Go Tigers! 

Yesterday was the first day I could work outside.  I was surprised by how many little things are coming up. At last, something to blog about.  I am so thankful for spring.

Reading, Sewing

 This is a pattern by Dusty Cupboard Primitives.  He is easy, and he is supposed to be a girl.  Try him (her).

Books are piling up.  I found the little David Copperfield at the library book sale, In My Seat was a gift from my friend Neen, it is about the pilot who was scheduled to fly the first plane of 9/11 but was cancelled.  It is very good.  The Funeral Dress is pretty good and Winter People is a scary, scary but fun ghost story.  I haven't finished the Mitch Albom book yet.  Going back to The Goldfinch on my Kindle now, it is a fourteen hour book and I don't read many of those.

I was checking in with my blog friends last night to see who has spring ..not us, altho my jonquils are up and I can see buds on the hellebores.  Still piles of snow here and there and it is not pretty now, neither are the potholes! 

"I've had enough" Walker the cat

It is still cold but the sun is shining and Walker escaped outside this morning, even before he had his breakfast.  I can't get him to come inside so maybe he knows something we don't. (Or maybe he heard the discussion we had about Rebecca bringing home a hamster from UM ).  That should be interesting.

I have a new printer (Yea!) that Jordan installed.  It is so nice to have a tec in the family.

Here's a doll too, it's a Crow's Roost pattern called "Doris".  Does she need more hair, or is it just that she needs ears?  I made her dress from a cute apron we found in an antique store. Also, I didn't do the sewed-on eyelids, somehow when I do that, my dolls have an evil look.   I hope you have some of this nice sunshine today.

March 3rd.

Today is Kynda's birthday, here she is on her beautiful blue bike from Mark. You may have already seen it on her blog but I wanted it to be on mine too.  Happy Birthday Kynda, we love you so much!

March First...

I hope you are enjoying my  posts of the Garden City Garden Club 2014 Calendar Fund Raiser.
The March gentleman is a member of the Southern Michigan Daylily Society and he has over 300 varieties of daylilies in his garden.  We have been there to see them, ( he was fully clothed). 

It says "Time to remove all dead plant material, turn the soil, mulch and get ready to plant."
LOL, what about the foot of snow, where does it go?
