Good morning, my friends. It snowed off and on for most of the day yesterday. It was warm enough that it also melted as it was accumulating. There was still some accumulation, though. This is the view from my window this morning.

Good morning, my friends. We got just a little bit more snow overnight. The little dusting we got yesterday was gone before noon, and there were snow showers throughout the day with no accumulation. Looking out our living room window this morning, it looks like this:

No post last week because Grad Girl needed a bit of time to get her photo. The first week of school was busy on several fronts and getting a photo wasn't her first priority. The challenge seemed a lot more restrictive than most of the others.

Good morning, my friends. We use the word "finish" around here to describe moving to the next step. Finish doesn't necessarily mean "finished." Just so we're clear. How is everyone doing this morning? We're still into our chilly, willy weather here, although it was a pretty pink sunrise this morning.

Good morning, my friends. The fog never really burned off yesterday. Mike had to drive into town, and he said it was even foggier at the valley floor. It's foggy again this morning, but I peeked at the forecast. It's supposed to burn off into sunshine. We'll see. It's a grocery shopping day, and so I'll be happy if it just doesn't rain.
When I went downstairs yesterday, I noticed the spider webs and moisture coating the Andromeda just outside our living room window. I took several pictures of it. This was my favorite ...

Good morning, my friends. We have a pretty view of Mt. St. Helens this morning. We've been having some very nice weather, and we're expecting it to continue into next week. After last week's deluge, it's nice to see some blue sky and sunshine. And with what's happening in California right now, I'm not complaining about the rain...just acknowledging it. There are worse things than rainy days.

I'm really good about wrapping up and planning my quilty year, I don't have such good habits for my photography. As I wrote in the post covering the November photos yesterday, I didn't think there would be much to review. And that was true. Even though there wasn't much photography going on at the end of the year, there are a few photos that were interesting.
December was so busy with my mom being here and then it seems like Christmas arrived shortly after. I never got around to reviewing my November photography efforts. I was so very unfocused on photography in September and October, I tried to get back on track in November. I ended up with 3 sets of photos that made my best list for the month.
You'll be happy to know (and I'm thrilled) that I made excellent progress on the samples, and I'm almost done. Yes, a bit more stitching is needed, and they will be finished. Thank goodness. I didn't think the process out too much in advance; I may have overdone it. But I'm learning lots while making them, and that's all that counts!
I know that many of you are in the process of decluttering right along with me. There are all kinds of 30-day plans, and on each day, you tackle a different area. I ...
read moreI know that I shouldn't be reading all these old magazines. I'm above that - toss them and be done with it. Buy no more than you can read. However, I have to say that I LOVE reading them. They are almost more entertaining than reading the current ones, which tend to be filled with patterns I'll never make.
Here's what I learned from a quilting magazine that is over 25 years old! The magazine is called Sampler Quilts by Quilt and has a copyright date 1999.

With all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas holiday, none of us gave much thought to the photo challenge card we drew on December 13th.

Good morning, my friends. Hopefully, everyone has recovered from Christmas festivities. We had a lovely holiday here, and I hope you did too. Today begins one of my favorite linky parties of the year. My thanks go to Cheryl Brickey of Meadow Mist Designs for hosting this party for the past ten years. Thanks, Cheryl!
