I'm not really into a blogging mood just now, but figured I'd at least share a few pictures that I took this week. It snowed buckets on Thursday. This is what kept me from lunch for so long. I really didn't want to brave the roads, but once I got out it was beautiful.
As I passed the lake on the way home, I decided to pull in and get out of the car. There were birds flying overhead through the snow, but none were accomodating enough to get in the shot.
Snow is pretty, but I still think it's more cold and confining than beautiful. But if I must be outside, might as well enjoy it right?
Okay, below are pics of the quilt my grandma made me. She's been working on it for a long time.
She found the squares already appliqued and ready to patch together in my great-great-grandmother's house. I remember two years ago my grandmom came to visit and we went to the store to match fabric for the yellow and purple borders. It's pretty cool to have a multi-generational quilt. I'm still working on my own.
I can't believe all the stitches in this quilt!! She had it almost finished, when she saw another that was stitched straight through, each row of stitches an inch apart. And she decided to do the same to this one. It had to be a lot of work, but it sure makes it nice and warm.
And these are from today. My niece is not camera shy; she just can't sit still long enough to take a picture.

| The ShugaBowl |
| Sounds like some kind of sports thing, but in reality, the ShugaBowl is just a little hideaway for me, Sugarcube herself, to let loose my thoughts and occasional creativeness. |
