Another stormy Saturday

I have been at the shop all day today, working alone - but it was just a steady good day. It was commencement at USU, a big dance competition at the high school and a Webkin extravaganza at the Hallmark store- so needless to say there have been lots of people in town today. The rain seems to keep people home - safe and warm and hopefully sewing on a new project or cuddled up in your favorite spot - stitching! I did some sewing last night - I made one of the Fit to Frame patterns from - "from my heart to your hands" - and watched 'Me & Marley" - I cried at the end - I'm glad Frank was asleep at my feet and missed the ending. Tonight I am going to buttonhole around my 2 block of the month blocks so that I will be all caught up- I wonder how long that will last! I still have one Shop Hop block to make - it looks like a hard one - I am not much of a paper piecer - but I will try. Stay warm and dry - Kaye

Back to Reality

Spring Break is over but not forgotten! I had a great time and so I hope that means that all those that participated did too. Since this was the first time I have ever done a retreat on that scale it became a learning experience for me. The one real concern I had was about the close quarters - we quilters need our space. I truly hope that no one was uncomfortable at any time during the day. I thought the classes were good, the cake yummy, the meals tasty, the trunk show was lovely and the weather was perfect for a retreat day. A great big THANK YOU to my friends and employee's that guided - counseled- reminded - and confirmed my thoughts, ideas, plans and questions. I depend so much on the people I surround myself with - but I have been blessed with the best. I have had enough suggestions to do it again and so I will. If you have anything special you would like to see done, please let me know. We have put away all the store supplies, I have combined my different files, forms, papers, and receipts and I can see one part of my desk again - so we have recovered. Now - on to Shop Hop. Thanks again, I will try to post some pictures real soon, Gratefully yours, Kaye
