Good to see you back....

... I thought maybe the cold and snow had finally left you speechless! If it is any consolation, my upper case never works , nor the space bar. I always have to go back and edit my message. I found my movie of Steel Magnolias and plan to watch it this weekend. It will be fun to see it and know that you are starring in the production again. Break a leg!! and keep us informed of progress so I can feel a part of it.
Another weather record broken last night, (minus 33.6 and wind chill minus 38) and buses cancelled again today. Can't even see into the greenhouse but I am losing hope for anything good in there.
Have to laugh as I started to go through some boxes in basement looking for this now infamous jelly roll, and found two beautiful boxes full of 2 1/2 inch cut multi coloured and patterned fabric pieces and a bag of 2 inch cut pieces ( from Pati). I had forgotten about these boxes and apparently have enough little pieces of fabric now to last my lifetime, haha  I cleaned up the first shelf of the cupboard in my sewing room and found unfinished projects and yes... more fabric!  I found a "charm pack" - many fat quarters wrapped in a ribbon. I am now wondering if this was what I thought was the gift - not a jelly roll? But I shall continue to look anyway as it gives me a chance to tidy up a bit and discover all sorts of forgotten treasures. It is fun in a way, but disheartening in a way to know working on many of these projects will never happen for the most part.
Today I dispose of the leftover turkey and think of wonderful dishes to create to use it up. Wish I were with you Pati, as you seem to have this mastered!  I spoke with Mike yesterday and he finally got his deer head back from the taxidermist- more than 1 1/2 years after the fact. He hung it over the TV and says it looks good but needs a bit more light to show it off. When he brought it into the house , Erin looked at it and sighed a bit saying "You mean I actually ate him?" She doesn't necessarily share Mike's enthusiasm for hunting etc but does like to make nice meals with the wild meat he gets from being part of his hunting group.
Well, time for another day.... hope all is well with you folks. Have a great weekend. Take care
