I can't wait to play in the sunshine with soil under my fingernails!

Stampin' Up Class

My friend, Rose, and I went to a Stampin'Up class, and made these four cards. On the first card, the butterfly is 3-D.  Next weekend I am going to a scrap booking work day.  I hope to get a whole bunch more made.

Quilting Shop Hop-Bus Trip

Six friends and I, went on a quilt shop hop bus trip, Saturday, March 5th. We meet at 6:00 am for breakfest at my house.

First stop was "Quilting by the Hearth" in Lonsdale, MN.

They did a great demo for make flying geese.  Yes, I bought the ruler!

I'm not sure what Trudy has in that package.  I did see what she bought.

Next stop Quilter's Dream in Montgomery, MN. 

Last town was Mankato.  We went to two shops, Firefly Quilt Shop and River City Quilts.

Here's to the Quilting Queens!  Happy Quilting!

Big Red

We just made it though another snow storm.  We received 14" in 2 days. It is supposed to continue to snow off and on all week.

Hope you stay warm where you are!

Downy or Hariy Woodpecker

I think this is a Hairy Woodpecker, because it has a longer bill.  It is so hard to identify.  It is much easier when they are together.  Please tell me what you think.  Thanks

Oh deer, it is COLD!

I see these deer every morning on my way to work.  This morning the temp read -19 F. 

I am thankful for the farmer that left a little corn in his field for the wildlife to eat.  I am thankful for the beautiful deer I see every morning on my way to work.  I am most thankful that this cold weather will not stay forever and SPRING will be coming.  I can't wait to be in my garden!
