Spring & Coming Home to 4' of Snow

I had a safe return home. As the plane tried to touch down, a wind came up and tried to tip the wing. All I could think was I must be home. A dear friend picked me up at the airport to drive me home through all sorts of weather. My friend then turned around and drove back down the mountain. Luckily, he arrived safe. The spring snows here are fabulous. It came down at a rate of 1' per hour for a while. It is beautiful here when it snows.
I have returned from visiting my family in the midst of Washington state. Being a tree and plant lover, I was mesmerized by the moss covered trees. I had a great time hanging out with all the adults. I was lucky enough to see my older brother and my young nephews were highly entertaining. I also attended quilt camp with my mom and sister-in-law. What fun we had!
It was so inspirational too! I'm full of positive and wonderful ideas again. I feel my batteries are charged and I have a clearer perspective of what I want to achieve. I want to quilt more again. I'm also going back to work at my beloved farm job. All this is going to add up to some changes of this blog site. I am not going to be doing much more affiliate advertising. It is fun and I have learned a lot. I have decided to spend my time sewing more. I am not going away though. This blog will continue to be where I can share the creative arts of Mountainjoy. That is truly why I started this anyway. Up on my mountain in the middle of winter, it is nice to communicate with others in the world. Thank you all for visiting.
Until next time, keep quilting and cooking.

Life Marches On

I'm amazed at how quickly everything changes sometimes. I stayed home and quilted for four months and then suddenly, a whirlwind of activity hit my home. I am going on a trip to visit my family and to learn how to use a long-arm sewing machine. YEAH!!! I can all my fellow quilters share in the excitement for me.
I must apologize for the open holes on my blog these days. I made a mistake in my advertising some how. I don't have everything figured out yet and must apologize for any toes I accidentally stepped on. I just wanted to share all the fun stuff I was finding.
Anyway, I have to get to packing for my trip now. Can I get everybody to hope that the impending snow storm will let me get to the airport?
