stampin/scraping/sewin divas!

okay -- the first night, unpacking and deciding where to start, Diva Jan (green), Diva Jane (burgundy) and Diva Becky (contemplating) --- these Diva's do not travel light -- it was car loads of stuff .... and i mean car loads

okay unpacking the tools and supplies and believe me they have a gizmo for everything!


Diva Jean -- deciding on something...

  It was the weekend of food, projects, movies and laughter -- and I managed to work both days too!  I'm trying to talk them into a summer retreat -- atv riding and projects .... time will tell.

Working Stampers

   The stampers and scrappers called to make sure I was indeed working this morning and I am.  They worked into the early morning hours and are up and at 'em too. 

   I made 35' of black bias tape last night -- today it will be encasing the clothesline and my project will start to take shape. 

   We did watch the movie "mama mia" during the work hours last night -- cheesy, but entertaining.  Sometimes thats all we need.  Tonight is "titanic" -- I'm not sure why but everytime I see that movie it's -20 ...and then the bodies are floating amid the ice  ..... gets me everytime.  I love the music in Titanic -- I have both CD's and they are favorites on my IPOD.

Working Diva

  Still at the office -- backup tape is spinning away and I can't leave the building without it.  One of my rules ... it got a late start.  I had a late start today too.  Overslept.  Not allowed. 

  Crazy world I live in.

ps.  cousin Kathy M needs xtra prayers tonight --

ps. January Humor --- had new client meeting this afternoon, and this guy -- says to me "what have you done with your hair?" -- I replied, cut it (it used to be long -- a decade ago) -- and he says "no you've dyed it" -- he thought I was my Mom -- okay -- and I thought I was a young looking 49 --- so I must be a really young looking 69.  I needed yoga after that.

blah blah blah

Diva is tired, cold and cranky.  There is however a bright spot, the new issue of American Patchwork and Quilting was waiting for me at the farm.  The highlight of my night.

Well, one of the highlights.  The WinVestors bought BirkshireHathoway shares -- we can finally afford Warren Buffet!!! 

Good Night Sleep Well

Blizzard Warnings

  So, please remind this Diva, why she lives in this part of the world.  This blizzard crap is getting really really old. 

  Actually, I was the only car on the road --- the $17.5 million road -- and they haven't plowed it yet .... drifts all over downtown.  I was told it was barricaded at McD's but it wasn't ..... so I'm home and whining ..... sorry.

  Thinking snowless thoughts.

M



yep, it was truly snowing ..... stole/borrowed/copied this picture from the free press this morning ... the ap picked it up too --- in the Mpls paper too.... but it pretty much sums up Monday ....
