It's been mid 60's here the beginning of the week with only a very slim chance of even a slight sprinkle. Yes, that may change in a moments notice but the next two weeks look good. I almost feel guilty about enjoying this wonderful weather.
Almost if the key word.....they're pouring footing for my new home today. We're only two months behind because of all the ice/snow/freezing temps we've gotten. I'm sorry that it's so cold in other areas but I'm exciting about the next step in our project. I may not be there when the concrete trucks pull into the driveway, but you can bet I'll be there before they leave.
Hubby called me twice this morning...once was to tell me that he found the twin-calves born last week. We never could find them together, but he went over early this morning to try to catch them eating breakfast and he did. Then he called later to tell me when the backhoe tractor arrived to start digging. I'm kinda glad I have a job 30 miles away so I won't be out in the middle of them. They're probably happy too.
On another note (No picture downloaded yet) Troy had a stockshow over the weekend and placed pretty good. One more show for the season. I keep reminding myself that he's having fun and he's running with good kids.....the hours he has to be at these shows are long, but like I said he's having fun and learning responsibility. Thank goodness he can drive himself.
On a sewing note, I've been making HST's for my string star I started--have about 100 6 1/2" blocks made. At guild last night, there was a gal who found out I was making scrap quilts and gave me a big box to take home. Mixed thoughts because I'm trying to get RID of scraps and not accumulate anymore, but they'll get used or stored for the next scrap project. I do have a tumbling block quilt started too. They'll get used for something.

I loved the embroidered quilt. I need to try a quilt with a bunch of different blocks sometime. Sometime...
We are going to be hit with another ice storm starting tomorrow. We were lucky that we did not lose power in the last one. We keeping our fingers crossed for the next one.
Post pictures of the big hole when you have a chance! Are you keeping a scrapbook?
the scrappy star looks good and sounds as though you are making progress. I wondered if you were sharing this recent change of good weather so building could proceed. Our weather guy sez we need to look out tomorrow as storms could be on their way in by afternoon. Hopefully it will not un-do the footing work.
