Went to the Quilt Show Saturday!
Holy Moly, there's a lot of talent out there!
I took a picture of this quilt my friend did!
She got a new sewing machine, then spent months traveling 400 miles to make a square to learn what the sewing machine did!
I thought this next one was cute....it's a baby quilt, and the pockets hold dolls!
Here's the Easter cards, all finished!
Here's a close up!
They're all mailed too!
Here's Shadow, and she smells something!
I took this picture on the way home one day!
The geese & swans, and who knows what else have arrived for the summer, but the lakes & rivers are still frozen, so they're swimming any where they can!
I think it's amazing to see them together, in the middle of a field!
Basically in a big puddle!
The 'creek' behind the house has started running.
I use the term loosely, as it just runs in the spring, and is the run off of snow.
Don't tell oceans & fisheries, cause I guess if it runs more than 4 days or something crazy like that it's considered a 'creek' and there's living organisms and such in it, and we'd be in trouble because of the outhouse!
This next one is along the 'creek' bed, and is how much we have left to clean up this spring.
About 60' to the neighbors fence, then we'll go south!
We're getting rid of the dead willows and crap.
Fire hazard!
It's waaaay messier in real life!
Our dugout is full.
Which is odd, because it usually fills last, AFTER all the snow is gone, and Ray starts to fret!
Oh well, it's full, and it will get a good rinse, because all the snow run off; across the road where the bush is down there, still has to go through it!
It hasn't been melting much, been cool this week; snowed Monday, and is supposed to snow again today!
I'm going to PR this afternoon.
Dentist.
Still NOT SMOKING people, only yesterday I could've killed for one, and all day I kept smelling smoke!?
Anyhow, because of my (now) bad habit (traded one for another) of shoving everything in my mouth, I'm trying to pack healthy things in my lunch; broke a tooth eating carrots yesterday morning!
The girls at the dentist got me in for this afternoon!
And about the wonky read on the gas pump in my last post.........D told me that there's a light out, I'm not the only one that noticed, they've ordered a new face plate.
I'm so gullible!
Tell me anything that sounds the least bit techy, and make it sound like you know what you're talking about; and I'll believe it! hahahahaha!JK!
Hope you're all well!
My latest project involves putting all my stamps into an album, alphabetically no less!
Ihaveover50stampsandsets!
If I say it fast it's easier to take!?
Organizing the punches is on my to do list too!
So far, no doubles of stamp sets anyway!
Did a few cards for challenges, and mom needs Birthday Cards, so I'll be busy!
Went out for supper with the girls last night.
Going to PR Saturday, they'll fix my cruise control, and the Trade Fair is on!
I haven't been to one for a while!
Better go!
Have a great day!
Ta ta for now!

Wow are those quilts ever spectacular!! When my mom and her friends were making quilts, eons ago, they sure didn't look like that. Had to smile at your friend going 400 miles to make a square. Boy is that dedication and it looks like it paid off with the quilt.
The one quilt I ever made was a silhouette of a baby head. (for my ex's wifes daughter. I needed an excuse to try my hand at quilting. lol
Your Easter cards are adorable.
So nice to see your pics. I love the country. (wth am I doing living in the city).
Isn't it nice that the birds know enough to get along in times like this?

Wow, you still have a lot of snow. Ours is all gone but that doesn't mean we still can't get a bit more before April is done (I sure hope not!). You've been a busy girl ... travelling about and creating too. I LOVE your Easter cards! Congrats on keeping the smoking demon at bay ... you go girl!!!!
love the little silhouetted bunny on your cards :D
OK, first I have to ask this because I'm freakin out over it. . .What the hell is that scary face in the background of the Shadow picture???? Please tell me that is supposed to be there!!! Now that I have that out of my system. . .your friend's quilt is spectacular! LOVE your Easter cards too. Such a cute idea. OK, now please tell me that face is supposed to be there! Best, Curt
That scary face, and by the way, you're the only one that thinks it's scary, is one of those polyresin faces you attach to tree trunks.
Everyone else just mentions that the hands by his mouth are unusually small!
It's on a stump, cause I don't like to nail anything to a living tree!
Still waiting for a tree to die so I can make a bottle tree!
