Where does the time go????
It seems like just last week I was posting pics of my two newest grandbabies. They are now a month and a half old! Grandbaby #3 (for this year) has still not shown up. You may remember this was the one who did not know she was pregnant till the 8th month? Apparently docs were wrong and she wasn't 8 months pregnant when she found out. She even had ultrasound which indicated the baby should be born by the end of March. Now they are telling her early to mid May! It is snowing today! That means that I don't have to spend my day doing yard work and can stay in the house and sew! I still havn't put a quilt together for this little one that we are still waiting for, so I think that will be my starting point for the day. Picking the pattern and fabric and maybe getting it cut. I started making valances for my kitchen windows a few weeks ago. I had bought a pattern that I really liked the looks of not realizing that the pieces were almost circular. Takes a LOT of fabric and my fabric that I was planning on was not as wide as called for. Well, you know how it goes, I had to revamp the pattern to fit on my fabic, and then of course had to go back to the store to get more fabric. All of this took way more time than I had just then, so 1 valance is done and up, the second one is cut out, and the fabric for the last two is washed. Then, because tax time was looming I had to get books ready for the accountant, and attend training classes for Census taking. Oh, darn, as I'm typing this I'm realizing that maybe I should put the valances first and get them done and put up THEN do the baby quilt. grrrr..... I'd much rather be quilting.... But, then last night I was thinking I need a new tea cozy to match the new valances....hmmmm. A patchwork one maybe??? And then a table runner???? Well, I better get at it. DH is about to go out the door to work and I have a whole snowy day to myself. Happy end of April to all! Marilyn in wet snowy Alberta |

Hi Ann
Are you the Ann up by Viking? I'm just north west of Calgary. The snow here has turned to rain, but the lawn is still white. Temp says +2. Crazy, it was +24 yesterday! Oh well, I can really use a housebound day! Hope you have a great day too! Marilyn |
