Three Little Schnibbles

Sunday's Best

A quilt kit from Quilt Taffy. Red polka dot backing and binding too. That is my new floor!

Minnick and Simpson's Bar Harbor

Blue paisley backing and binding.

Cindy Lou Who

April Cornell's Spring Magic

A beautiful pink floral for backing and binding.

The Tootie Babies with the snowman Graddy built for them. Nothing like charcoal eyes, carrot nose, weed eater line mouth and some sprinkler pvc for a pipe! Oh, and Graddy's yard hat and sticks for arms. Yes, he has quite a lean going on. His head accidentally fell off and nearly scared the Tooties to death!

I'm caught up now! Before my sewing machine malfunctioned  broke and the whole upstairs was torn to pieces (floor and painting, remember?) I got three litte Schnibbles tops done.

The Tooties Love Snow!

The weather report says more snow next week! Hello, this is Texas people!

The Tooties played in the snow last time. This is Sarah, who loves her gloves but doesn't know what to do when she has them on. Mostly, she just holds her hands out straight in front of her!

Emily is all bundled up! They cried when they had to go inside.

So Mommy brought some inside to play with. That Mommy, she sure is smart.

They had a great time until Emily threw snow at Sarah and it went under the stove...their attention then turned to finding out where the snow went.

Hopefully, this next snow won't be the "Blizzard of 2010" like it was last time!

There is no quilting going on upstairs in the quilting room. The floors are done (beautiful) and the rooms are painted (smelly). Today we'll try to get some things organized in there so I can get back to normal!

Birds Of A Feather

Border with prarie points and year completed. I have since added my initials to the top border.

I can't seem to find the picture for Our Smallest Bird - Hummingbird. On the big quilt it is the two litte birds on the pears.

It's a beautiful day outside today. The snow has stopped falling from the sky. However, big clumps are plopping to the ground out of the trees. The mailboxes look like they have caps on.

Today I'll be working on packing up my sewing room. Next week we are having the floors and painting done upstairs. I'm not looking forward to the mess!

Kansas City Star 2010 Block Of The Month

The Kansas City Star has started a new Block Of The Month. On the third Tuesday of each month a new block will be offered on the website. It looks like fun!

What is this, you might wonder? It's a 3/4" hole punch used for scrapbooking. I don't do scrapbooking but...

I do have to cut out lots of little berries for my applique. 179 to be exact! This little tool sure made quick work of that.

And, this is what a snowy evening in Texas looks like. Can you believe it snowed all day? We got nine inches! That is a record snowfall for our area.
