Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day...
Today was my parent's anniversary...... they were married in 1941... they spent 5 weeks together and then my dad went off to the Army.. he was gone for 3 years. He spent most of that time in the Philippines. I remember every Valentine's Day he brought her red roses...... that was always so special to me to see those red roses.
My husband is out of town this Valentine's Day........ he was concerned that he wouldn't be here to be with me today.... but that is OK.. we will have Valentine's Day another day..... It is just special to be with your special person.... no matter what day it is.
This is one of the quilts I like to display for Valentine's Day.............
I don't remember when I made this , but it was quite a few years ago........... you know.... I should have labeled all my quilts. I would like to have pictures of all the quilts I have made..... something to do another day...
Enjoy your day !! ...... Nice here today.... going to be 34 and sunny. Good weather for February in North Dakota.

Snowy day..........
Didn't take a picture today..... everyone knows what blustery and snowy looks like... We are having a cold spell again... I suppose... it is only February.
I had a fun sewing day last Sunday..... worked on some UFO's and today I am trying to sew up a drawer full of scraps ! I have 3 different scrap quilts I am working on..... so I get a few blocks done and some day I will have 3 big scraps quilts ready to quilt.
Oh yes, quilting !!.... I have several tops to quilt and will have more - so in the future there will be "quilting" days.
Still sorting...... some had asked why I am not done with that ?...... LOL....... that is funny !! There is 4 generations of people's stuff to go through.....sorry to those who think I should just chuck it.... that is not the way I work..... and... I will get through it.... it will just take longer than a week or two.
I will keep you updated. You have to start with the little projects and then work your way through it.
Tomorrow Gustov goes to the groomer..... poor guy , he is getting so stiff.... we figure he is 13 or 14 years old now... that is a long life for a Large Munsterlander. It just isn't fair that large dogs have a shorter life span than smaller dogs.
My lunch time is done..... and I am going to sew for awhile and then sort for awhile..
Have a good day !

A tisket.........a tasket......... I made a pretty basket......
I have been busy making baskets....... the two blue ones are quite large......... they came out bigger than I thought they would. I really enjoy making these... each one comes out different... I will be making more of these and having them for sale at the "Lake Sale" in June.... so between making baskets..... all my sorting and packing....... and sewing...... I will be busy.... or I should be....
Just had a little snow shower and now the sun is coming out....... looks like a nice Saturday for us. Still cold temps, but not bad.
Lots to do today ......... so I better get busy..........
What are you up to this weekend ???.....
