6 more weeks of winter!

Yesterday was groundhog day. I didn't even remember until DH came home from work. Every year DH Family gets together and watches the movie Groundhog day. We all love it. All the adults watch the movie while the kids run around the house. There were 2 two year olds there, one of them being my own. They were happy because no one was really paying attention to them. They got into everything. The most destructive thing they got into was Grana's Pero bottle and dumped it on the floor and scattered it everywhere. I guess that is what we get for watching a movie and not paying attention to the little ones. It was a great party we had popcorn with hot tamales mixed in MMMMMMmmm.
Here are a couple of projects if am working on. I am attempting to build a grandmothers flower garden quilt. But at the moment i have lost my template to cut out more hexagons so that project is on the back burner for a little while. I am determined to finish it though. Then there is the fabric covered tin, my mother gave this tin thinking I could us it for something. So I covered it in fabric and filled it full of coffee stained cheese cloth witch kind of looks like dirty tissue but it looks great tied onto primitive stuffs. And then the third picture is of a pincushion I made. I found the pattern over at the The pickled pepper patch. It is supposed to go on a wide mouth mason jar but i haven't found the right jar yet. When i find it will post it. Everyone have a great day love you all!!!
