A little pic

How about one pic without a big smile...you can tell she is about to smile, though.

I am here to report that I have been nothing if not lazy for the past few days.  I have touched my sewing machine but no more than for half an hour or so each day.  Normally, once I start I don't want to quit.

Do you ever get something on your mind that distracts you from everything?  That is how I have been.  Distracted.

We got quite a bit of snow yesterday...when Roger shoveled the sidewalk last night he thought maybe 5 or 6 inches.  I did not go outside the first time.  That is not normal for me.

Right now I got to get moving cause we have an appointment in town today...

Some randomness....

1.  Someone had a birthday recently...can you tell by this photo that she was happy with flowers her aunt sent her?


2.  Remember this post about the recumbent bicycle?  Well, we took the plunge about 3 weeks ago and got it.  We are pleased with it.  I guess.  Does riding it do any good if you have to take a nap afterwards???  No joke.  I get up and ride it before I do anything else.  And I am so worn out when I am done, I could go back to bed.  And I am not riding it very long at all....

3.  We were through the strip pit area the other day...there were a few hundred White-fronted geese and several swans.

4.  For some light reading material, specially if you have young kids, you might get a few chuckles from Junie B. Jones books...I had gotten Lorelei one...I don't remember the name of the first one.  But that led to Sarah getting her some, and I got her more.  And Sarah and I both enjoy them as much as Lorelei.

5.  And Nothing To Tell by Donna Gray is what I am reading just for me...the author interviewed women that grew up in Montana, women with no claim to fame.  This book is basically their words describing their life.  I am really enjoying it. 

I am linking to Tanya's Willy Nilly Friday Five...

New additions to the fabric family...

My daughter wants me to make shams for her....she ordered more batiks.

She wants one set out of the one above.  It is even more gorgeous in person.

Then she wants me to use the one above and the one below to make another set...

She wants one fabric on the front and another on the back.

Winter temps are here again...it was 9ºF here this morn at 8:30ish.  We had to run to Walmart for a prescription and it was just 11 degrees an hour or two later.  A couple hours later, the thermometer on the Rav4 said it was 18º...the wind cut right through a person.

I wanted to get back to sewing, but didn't...maybe I will get in some time tomorrow.   I had time this afternoon, but was rather on the lazy side.
