Our New Addition

Our latest edition to making our house a home: The new entertainment center.

Watch later on for a more completed look! Meanwhile ...

Say a few prayers for Larry, who has been re-hooking all the different components back together.

Fat Tuesday Dinner

Ma & Dad invited us for dinner w/Bob & Kim.

We had a blast!!

The wine was wonderful, the roast was the best I have ever had, and the company was exceptional.

Speaking of Sewing ...

We were, weren't we? Speaking of sewing ... Here is what I currently have on my design wall:

And this is my WIP (work in progress):

I just love lots of perfect four patches!! It is truly the simple things in life that please me!

Florida State Fair

Being a big fan of the Sandwich Fair (Sandwich, IL), Larry & I could not pass up the FL State Fair ... It was different, but still fun. You would never see a sign like this in IL!!

We tried the new food rave of the fair:

(Yep, you saw that right!!)

It was really rather good ...

if you closed your eyes & didn't think about what you were eating.

We have never seen such a wide variety of rides!

This was the best part of the Fair: The People Mover.

Here is the view from up top:

This got my vote for most imaginative advertising. A local law firm really got thru in a most visual way.

We returned home tired and a little pink around the edges. A very fun day!!

The Latest

Here is the latest: I started on the TQS block of the month quilt ~ which is far more complex than anything that I have attempted before. Here is the January block, completed, and while it isn't perfect, it is pretty good. Good that I finished January by February 8th! :-) I'm early!!

Madge, June & Britt have been having it tough. I sew ~ they sleep.

It is truly a dog's life.

We had a great time at our Super Bowl party. The food was awesome!! We had so much,

thanks to all the contributors! Here's to new friends & to old friends & family as well!!

Good times ~ Great people!!
