It's My Party! Let's Celebrate!

Yep - this is it!  The big 5-0!  I turned 50 this month.  My family came to town for a family birthday party on Saturday.  They did an amazing job of making it especially "me" - bright colors, flowers.

yes, this is the cake - from Sweet Sisters Bakery in Norman, OK

OK - and a little jab at the age...but not bad.

 

Great day!

It is Snowing - AGAIN !!!

OK - I don't know how many snows we have had this winter in Oklahoma - I usually don't have to count past two!  But, alas, it is snowing...AGAIN.  What is even more incredible is that we have a 100% chance again on Tuesday and 80-90% chance on Thursday, Friday AND Saturday!  The Super Snow Bowl some were hoping for is going to happen, just not in New Jersey - it is going to happen right here in my living room for me.

snow just starting at 8am

this is all we were supposed to get today - a dusting

really coming down now

Today I can enjoy my quilting, inside my warm house with a fire going, watching the beautiful snow fall, enjoying the Super Bowl commercials later!  Lord, I am so grateful for this wonderful day! 

Tomorrow...well, it is back to work, driving on the slick streets, praying to make it back home in decent condition (both me and my car)!  Lord, I am so grateful that I have a good job, a reliable car, money to buy more fabric, and your protective spirit watching over me!

Cold Weather - Soup is On !

With the cold weather moving in once again, I was in the mood for soup tonight.  My sister had made me one quilted soup bowl potholder and sent me the pattern and materials for a second one for Christmas. 

Bowl made for me by my sister

So while the soup was simmering, I was sewing.  When both were ready, we sat down and enjoyed our Fiesta soup in our bowls held comfortably and kept warm by the soup bowl potholders!

Love them !!!!  Thanks Sis!
