I had so much fun sewing this weekend. I finally took some time and turned one of these pillowcases into a dress with matching bloomers. It really got the creative juices started up again. Its been a while so things come slowly but oh the ideas started popping into my head like popcorn which feels pretty good after so long. 3 dresses done and a couple more cut. I need to give these machines a good workout. Speaking of workouts ...Cocoa took me on quite a trek this morning in about a foot and a half of snow...I was puffing by the time I caught up with her. She was just screaming around the snowpiles digging her nose in the snow every once in a while...I think she was imagining a bunny or two to chase. Usually I make enought noise to ensure that they have all had time to run for their little rabbit holes but every once in awhile she gets to chase one.

Playing in the snow in March

Can you believe 2 days ago we were all walking around in shorts and it was 70 degrees. What a show our weather puts on here in the Center of the Nation. We had lightning and snow yesterday morning with the warnings out... thank goodness I didnt venture out too far. By noon the wind had come up and the snow was howling. The kids had talked Grandma and Grandpa into letting them come out for a couple of hours...well the hours have turned into a couple of days as the roads are completely closed. Not that we could actually get the car or pickup dug out enough to go anywhere anyway. They are having the time of their lives I hear, tunneling and tooling around on the snowmobiles. Oh what great memories these kids get to have with the wonderful grandparents they have on all sides. Its like they have their own personal life coach teams....providing all sorts of fabulous experiences...wow we are blessed. Scott and I,hmmmm well time is so slow without the kids around. We dont do much sitting around so when we do get the chance to do nothing it just doesnt work. So he paced while I did books until he just had to go out do something. He shovelled and scooped snow so long I had to go out and make sure he hadnt had a heart attack or got lost in the snow. So I helped a bit and took some pictures to share.

Testing the whole linking thing My new online fabric store http://thebakeryfabrics.com/ Please be patient while I work out all the bugs...there are so many features I want to add.
This is kind of fun now that I am finding my way around on this thing. But the possibilities are mind boggling.
