Scruffily Lovely

I finally finished this beauty and she is all packed up and ready to send to Cali tomorrow....

it's a fantastic size...great for curling up on the coach...

i wasn't really sure about the back....i really love it now that it's done!!

it's so scruffy and soft...

don't you just want to unfold it and curl up with it

the binding also had me second guessing myself...but it looks great!!

and it's a good thing i love this one...because i'm working on another one...
LilFriend saw this one and requested one...

White stuff....lots and lots of white stuff

I've lived in the Dallas Metroplex for seven years...

it's snowed exactly 2 times before...

and one of those days was Christmas eve this year...

and it's usually about an inch or two of snow...

and it's gone in a few hours..

so earlier this week when they said that it was going to snow today...

no big deal...right??

well boy oh boy was today a record breaker...

it started snowing at 430 am...(yep i'm up that early)...

and it snowed....and snowed...and is still snowing some more...

and is supposed to continue til about 4 am....

and we are currently at 6.2 inches of snowfall...

the record snowfall in Dallas for February is 7.5 inches...

i'm assuming we'll be breaking that...

this snow was beautiful...

huge fluffy snowflakes...

you can usually see the road past the field beyond the fence...

but today all you can see is gorgeous bright white snow..

i tried to take some pictures so you could see how deep it was...

ry's paw prints in the snow...cute huh?

and i know i have mentioned these sexy boots before...my rubber work boots..

i spend about 75% of my work day outside...

and keeping my feet dry is a must for me...

so i rock these sexy black boots when it rains or snows...

and today EVERYONE was jealous of these bad boys!!

Delivery

I had a package waiting for me today when I got home

I couldn't wait to get my hands on what was inside

A few yards of several prints of LOVE, a few from Hope Valley, and some Tad Dots...

Awesome...

Cuteness

I've done a litte shopping lately...

I got this super cute tray from Ikea...

it's currently on my sewing table holding little odds and ends....and making me smile when i see it...

I'm working on the Valentine's quilt....

and i just couldn't pass up buying yardage for the next project in my holiday quilts project...

I really like green....so picking out all this cuteness for the St. Patrick's Day quilt made me happy...

hope everyone had a great weekend!!

jeez...

it's been a long...very long week...

but it's finally friday...

only problem...

it's cold and getting colder...

and raining...

which is going to turn to sleet/snow as the day goes on..

and the best part...

guess who'll be outside in this loveliness all day??

yeah that's right...

ME!!!!

but at least i'm wearing my super stylish footwear..

i'm rocking my rubber rain work boots...

totally stylin let me assure you!!

It's about time

to decided how to quilt the Scruffily Rouenneries...

so i finished up the backing....and figured if i basted the quilt...

then the way it should be quilted would come to me...

and sure enough...

it's 2 echoed lines on each side of the seams...

i'm really liking it...

but there's still lots to do on it...so it's back to the sewing table for me...

hope everyone had a great weekend!!

a BIG idea

I was at my LQS...

where i bought these...

Sent with Love charm packs...adorable aren't they??

I decided that I'd make a Valentine's quilt...

I love to decorate for holidays...

then I had a brilliant idea...

I'll make a quilt for each holiday this year!!

so stay tuned for a calendar of quilts for 2010!!

i'd better get moving....Valentine's Day is coming up pretty quick...
