February Flying By

I've been overloaded with work and a cold for the last few weeks.  I did a few small quilts for a client that came out rather nicely and really worked my custom-quilting skills.  I'm still babysitting a couple days a week (that's where I got the cold).  I'm working on rush order quilts for another client.
I parked at the bottom of our long driveway for a week or so due to the snow.  It's quite a workout carrying bins of quilts and bags of groceries up the drive.  I'm going to have my husband make a sled that our dog can pull for next years snow-ins!
Speaking of my dog, Bo is recovering quite well from his surgeries.  He is running around like nuts and people ask what the shaved spots are about.  Without the shaved parts, one would never even think that he'd just gone through surgery.  I love our vet!
I actually finally joined Facebook though I haven't even set up my own profile yet.  I look forward to connecting with all sorts of people and keeping closer tabs on some of my family members.
I have to get back to the grindstone now.  I just wanted to give everybody an update.  I hope to update my website and etsy site soon too.  Oh, what I wouldn't give for more time and energy!
I hope everyone has a wonderfully crafty week!

Good Morning Snow

I drove home on clear roads last night at 6 pm with it just starting to snow.  These are not small cars under the snow.  The smallest is a Jeep Cherokee and the other two are a Scout and a Blazer both with lift kits.  This photo was taken at 9 am this morning and we just took a measurement of 26".  It is still snowing like crazy and I expect another 2-3 feet by the end of this storm.  Yeah!!!! We finally got some the moisture we need.  I am of course going to enjoy being snowed in for a few days quilting and making bread and maybe a split pea soup.  I do however feel sorry for our friend who stayed the night last night.  He had lots of things planned for the day and now we are making him breakfast.  There are worse places to get snowed in than Mountainjoy!
