Saturday Update and Crazy Weather!

Happy cold, wet Saturday!  Our weather has been so crazy this winter, not much like winter at all until today.  It turned cold last night and we had a little rain this morning.  About an hour ago out came the sun and  the day was looking up...then things went from sunshiney to wind and snow in a matter of minutes! Can you see those snowflakes?  It is like a blizzard, we even have thunder!

As I type these words the ground is white and the snow is slowing down, looks to be stopping.  Hopefully that's all the snow we get today!

Now for the stitchy update!  I have two finishes to share!  First is 'Red House in Winter'.

"Red House in Winter"
My next finish is "All is Calm" and in the picture you will see the fabric I found for the pillow finish!

"All Is Calm"
I went to my local Joanne Fabrics store yesterday to get some finishing fabric.  Lucky me when I arrived they were having a moving sale and all the fabric left in the store was 50% off and the remaining trims were 75% off!  Believe me I had fun picking out some beautiful cotton fabrics and got lots of cording trim for making my Christmas ornaments!  That plaid homespun fabric was one of my 50% off buys...when I saw it I knew it would be perfect with "All Is Calm"! 

When I got home and told my dear husband about the great sale, he just shook his head and said "Oh, no" in a dismayed voice.  I will never understand why husbands don't appreciate a good sale on fabric and craft supplies! I really did save a lot of money even if I did buy more than I had intended to when I went shopping...a girl can't just pass up 50% off now can she...LOL!

I wanted to show the progress I made this week on a couple more of my CJC projects!


My Big Toe Designs
"Revelation"

"He Is Risen"
These two projects are moving along quickly and I am enjoying my time spent on them!

That's it for today...as I look out the window the snow has stopped and melted away.  Wonder what the weather is going to do next?

Blessings and Happy Stitching!
