SNOWY UPDATE & A THANK YOU

 
I got this cool surprise gift from 
Dawn ...
such an adorable little pouch
With a RED zipper..
AND
Hubby grabbed this part of the 
two part gift
↓↓↓
You can see he's
putting it to good use
;)))
A cute Boston Red Sox
mug rug...

So we are all decked out for
watching
the 
Spring Training
Red Sox games...

THANK YOU SO MUCH DAWN...;)))
We love these...

*************************
I have begun a new diamond painting
for those of you who inquired:

This lovely girl....

And here is where I am
A lot of "confetti"
in this one
but
Very enjoyable--I love
the colors...

***********************
AND...
I have been plugging along on my
"Wild Garden" 
spiderweb quilt...

[sorry for the dark photo--
it is snowing like
crazy outside
and a dark gray day]
I am planning on keeping going
until most of the strips are used up...
So this may turn into two pieces..
We'll see..👀👀👀

***********************
So far we have had 4"+ of snow
more than was predicted,
actually...
***********************
Tonight I have made a 
Shepherd's Pie 
for our dinner...
I used frozen corn
for the veggie in this one..
and i added a bit of tomato paste
to the meat and onion mix...
I often change this one up.
************************
Stay safe and warm...

CHRISTMAS ALL OVER AGAIN!!


And what to my wondering eyes should appear???

A whole package of goodies on my doorstep from DAWN ; THANK YOU SO MUCH ;--)))

I had mentioned in a previous post that I was low on middle-of-the-road blues and Dawn sent me this big stack of fabrics------:all big pieces, too.   (See her pretty card with Roses on it (she knows how much I love roses!!)
 AND:her homemade rose petal jelly--(yum), a cute kitty mug rug that Dunkin and Phoebe sewed up for me while Dawn slept..[.they snuck into her sewing room and made this--she has some amazing helpers!! ]
A cute Christmas list memo pad, AND crayons for the little girl in me to use when Willa Rose and Fiona come to visit.  Oh and also a leaf shaped pot holder which is in my kitchen drawer...

How's this for a pkg of FUN???!  I can see how she makes up her beautiful gift baskets--pretty awesome...
This morning I starched and ironed all those fabrics and you will see some of them in my RSC15 blocks...

It is SO  much fun to play with some else's stash...we all have such individual tastes and to be able
to mix it all up has to add a lot to a quilt.






Here's that rose petal jelly...
I've never had it before--
it is bodacious!!  Ummmmm.





thank you Dunkin and Phoebe--I will think of you each time I have a cuppa....

Hugsx2 out to Dawn--for such a generous gift...
