Prettiest Snow

This was the scene outside my bedroom window on January 8th, 2010. Such a beautiful dusting of snow. It was so breathtaking, I thought if I could just capture the scene & put it into a quilt. Perhaps someday. But for now it will just have to rest in my blog. Put it on the list.

Best Christmas Gift

My staff & my close friends & family all know that I am a big promoter of giving handmade gifts! I love the whole Zakka concept. This year I made Dresden Plate hotpads that were awesome. Stop in and the shop and I'll be happy to give you the pattern. Well this Christmas I was very much taken back, when my nephews Chris (8) and Evan (6) presented me with their handmade gift on Christmas Day! A knock-off Ugly Doll! Meet Elfie! Isn't he just the cutest ugly elf you ever saw?
