It is crazy here in upstate NY today. The wind is swirling around the house fiercely (so much so, I had to "secure" the trash container with a brick!), icy snow pellets are blowing in one direction and then the next (before disappearing as fast as it began), and the sun is trying ever so hard to break the quickly racing clouds this late afternoon. The kitchen is warm with the heat of the oven, and the house is smelling ever so good from the pot roast I'm cooking for tomorrow's dinner (on the hope that I'll be spending a few hours with some quilting buddies). The dog is napping happily, the husband is watching golf televised from an oh too warm looking Arizona- I guess all is right with the world for now. I even forked over an entire $1.99 to my Amazon Kindle account to rent The Help and will add my name to the list of people who LOVED the movie! I did, I absolutely did. Loved the book too...
I've checked email, updated Facebook, and read a few blogs- and lo and behold- how EXCITING! Temecula Quilt Shop has announced on its blog that it is doing another sew along in March!! I have a new "little quilt project" in the making. Now the decision, raid the stash as I have been doing, or treat myself to the new fabric kit they put together. What's a girl to do??
And with that decision rolling around in my head, I am almost set to get the dutch oven out of the oven, bundle up for the afternoon dog walk and then come home and tear into an envelope from Jan Patek Quilts...I had enquired as to the "mystery" she was offering- her Collections design that I fell in love with years ago, and lo and behold- I guess it has shown up on my doorstep today. I can't in good conscious send it back now can I (it's the Collections pattern- remember!!), so I'll have a bill to pay :-)
Maybe it will be stash for the new Temecula sew along, lol.....
Hope everyone is as happily engaged in their Saturday activities as I am. It's nice to have this kind of day- I needed it.

I am going to join in on the Quilt along, I will try and use the scraps from mt patriots in petticoats
JP Collections- what fun! I'm going to hold out just a little on the TQC quilt along . . . . that way I'm more likely to finish. Oh the methods we go through to trick ourselves *s*
Congrats on your February finish! It is adorable. Wish I could say I had as much success but what's a working girl to do??!
I think your weather is headed my way! Yikes! I loved the Help too and I didn't know you could rent movies for Kindle! You learn something new everyday!! Thanks for the Liebster award. I didn't know you were a follower of my humble blog. Better spruce things up over there if company is gonna be coming!!
