March goes out like a Lion

We were pelted with little frozen stones from the sky last night. .....actually twice. The ground has little dents where the hail hit the earth. These came down about 6:30pm and the second round came about 11pm. Two inches of rain and this hail doesn't compare to all of the damage sustained in OKCity...but we still didn't like it!




There's a chance of more storms tonight. It's gonna be a long Spring.

Not a lot of sewing going on right now. When it's almost 80 degrees, I'm going to be outside after work as the days are getting longer.
The garden has been plowed, and we should get potatoes in the ground in the next few days.

I did get the binding put on the bargello but that's about as much bonding as the Bernina and I have done. When there's been more progress, I shall return!

Gettin' closer to Spring Break

What do you do when you find a BIG piece of that fake yucky fur that for some unknown reason I had stashed in my sewing room?

If you leave it on the floor, Rusty finds it and drags it over to where the rug is suppose to be.

This was taken BEFORE he found the skunk.


The bargello made it back from the quilter and I'm happy with it...it's not finished, but it's quilted. She did an all over paisley...swirley...something design on it. Don't know what it's called, but it satisfied me and it'll satisfy the recipient..who is going to get it for that masculine holiday in June.

Didn't realize till I already had this uploaded that there's a string in the middle. Okay..it needs binding and needs some strings trimmed. I still love the plaids and paisleys! Found some blue plaid for the binding. Still think those plaids multiply in my sewing room by themselves!
