Time on my hands...

Been enjoying the stormy weather- glad to have anything other than ice! The snow is just beautiful- especially since I am surrounded by such good company. My sweet sister-in-law is here for the week with her two boys- the kids are elated. I am too! I finished these two doilies and have started another. That's what winter is for- handiworks. I might need to resume work in the quilting room since the view is so spectacular out there with a couple walls full of windows. My parents surprised me and stopped in for a two nights. They had venison to bring to Lisa and her family. It was a short visit, but not so short that my dad couldn't fix my furnace- which wasn't broken but is always in need of maintenance. This is a picture of my Dad in the closet, standing on the furnace! A very tight spot even for a very skinny man! He isn't happy unless he is working on something- he should be ecstatic here at my house as things are always breaking!

It seems like everyone here is having a ball sewing up quilts- I love to think about our shared joy of sewing and pressing and choosing colors and designs... so much fun!! Have a great day everyone!!!

Aren't Dad's just the best handy men? My Dad is my hero!!!

Love the new doilies! Winter is just the best, I get lots of quilting time and quiet time. Not that Ethan is noisy, but I kind of like a little time when I am just here by myself. I do love when it is time to go pick him up from school though. And especially, when it is time for my lovebug to get home from work! :~)

What would us girls do without our Dads?!

Enjoy your company!

Ohhhhh wish I had some guy around here who likes to fix things :-). Just look at your Indiana snow, and looks like no visibility at all, it looks great and challenging, too! I don't know how a mere mortal could create those beautiful doily snowflakes, they are just beautiful.
