It's COLD, you say?!?!?

Hi There!

Some of you have probably been
wondering what I've been up to.

Well, I have a confession to make.

Even though I love a challenge
and have quite a bit of patience,
I can get bored, fairly quickly too.

Mid-January, I wanted to do
what I call Mindless Sewing.

So, I decided to make
some "Crumb" placemats!!!

I called up my Mom and asked
what color placemats would she like to have.

"Green", was her reply.
"A NICE green... not an olive or neon green!"

Well, I got to work and
made her and Dad, SIX placemats.



I LOVE to work with crumbs!!!

You get to recycle all your little bits and pieces
of fabrics PLUS you reminisce, too!

"Oh... gee I remember using THAT fabric!"



"Oh yah! That was for so and so's quilt!"

*VBG*



Well, we were SUPPOSED to go
visit them Friday.... weather didn't cooperate!

So, Saturday morning (yesterday),
Gilbert and I packed up my car
and off we went, to visit my parents.

They live about 1 hours' drive away
and you have to take a ferry,
unless you take the LONG way around,
which is really not do-able, IMHO.



While approaching the ferry,
Gilbert said,
"I wonder how safe this is."

I suddenly got that far-away
look in my eyes....

"Geeeee, I wonder if any of the passengers,
on the Titanic had that same thought..."

*grin*



It was safe but EXTREMELY cold,
when I stepped out of our car,
to snap these pictures.

Anyhow, a friend had sent me a bunch
of funny cartoons, quite a while back.

Once again, I thought I'd share
with you, this lighter moment!

LOL



Hope you all have a GREAT week!

Rosa

Great placemats. It's always fun to use up scraps; I hate for anything to go to waste. I like the backs too; very pretty!

Where in Canada do you live? I bet it's cold up there because it was below freezing down here in sunny Texas. brrr I'm from Wisconsin, but I moved down here 25 years ago to follow my hubby and get AWAY from the cold. Hurry up summer!

Stay warm,
Susan

Hey Sweetie,
It was a dismal day today, not like your snow though...73 but no sun. Sorry to rub it in.
Hugs,

LOL! OK, so as soon as I thought of the Titanic I would have decided I really didn't need to go visit them, LOL! You're so brave...
