Finally...

...the weather is improving and we have warmer temps - it may rain today. Oh no, I have to move all the blankets and quilts into the shed before they get wet! I have them hanging right now on the fences in the garden after removing them from the roof of the greenhouses. I also have to go around the yard and check on the downspouts again as they are all frozen into the ground after the last unfortunate melt and then freeze up.  I bought two long stove pipes to fit around the downspouts to extend them into the yard more for runoff but I cannot yet get them under because the spouts themselves are frozen in. Oh boy!
Getting ready for our trip to Mikes on Easter. He bought a new printer and is in need of stationary supplies so I said hang on until I check out what I have here to share.  I did however go to Staples yesterday while we were in Huntsville shopping to buy one package of printer paper. I had no idea of the selection available now, and was just standing in awe at the long shelf full when an assistant came to my rescue. I am now educated on the different paper and quality and weight etc - I did not know this haha!  Since I also did not know if his new printer was laser or inkjet (apparently it makes a difference as to what paper you choose) I opted for a middle of the road multiuse paper to take Sunday. He can use this until he gets himself to a Staples to buy for himself haha! 
Well, Pati I thought your ATC cards were beautiful and certainly were "pastels"  I bet your other ladies would love them. I did not win a prize on the The Quilt Show draw I guess as I did not get an email from them. Not that my hopes were high. I wonder about that "apliquick" set though that they are advertising. Would you think Pati, that such a tool might be useful? Not that I am sewing much right now but I do have dreams of doing so and always looking to what may be, I think I will watch that show again and have another critical look at the possibility of my using. A bit expensive if I think they would be a waste.
Anyway, time for a bit of breakfast and then on with another wonderful day. Hope you folks are all well and please enjoy this week as we approach Easter. Take care
