winter weather (and hearing about Tiger Woods). We have a "serious winter storm warning" for our area today through Tuesday afternoon. The wind is howling outside my house right now. We are supposed to get up to 12 inches on the bench areas of the mountains and blizzard conditions through mountain passes.
On a brighter note.....here are some of our Easter eggs. Jon and Jaycee made their own egg dye and used it on our brown chicken eggs. It made such dark, pretty colors.
The paisley egg is my sad attempt at dying with a silk tie. I know how to do it better for next year.
I got Pam's quilt bound yesterday. I really LOVE how it turned out. When it was in pieces I had a little bit of panic about it. It all came together so good...whew!!
It has so much character with each shirt and PJ bottoms used. Jaycee loves it!! She wears the same kind of clothes now that Rae did. She loves the skulls, blacks and blues.
The back is a Polka dot sheet.....Rae loved Polka dots.
Here's the pillows made out of her Hollister shirts for Krystal (Rae's sister). I'm tickled with the way they turned out!!
I hope they bring happy memories of Rae to Pam and her family. Nann is headed down to Vegas later this week and will take them down to Pam.
My next project is to put my bedspread on the quilt frames. Can't wait to get it done and see how our room looks. Gary got it painted last week and moved our bed back in today. Yeah!!
I love our two flowering trees. Each spring I wait for them to bloom...and it makes me so happy to see them. Their pinkish-purple blooms let me know that spring is really here. I snapped these pictures yesterday. Good thing because we have dreary, raining weather today. 
I haven't blogged in so long that I forgot my password. How crazy has life been? I really miss the days of sugar-coated happy life with my rose colored glasses. Seriously....why do things have to be so complicated, stressful, and frustrating?? Argg! (Okay, I'm done whining)
I did manage to get a little quilting done. I made a couple of baby quilts for my daughter, Jodi. Her baby shower is Saturday. I was hoping to have 4 quilts done...sigh! Hopefully I'll get the other 2 done before her baby gets here. I found a link to making a nursing cover that I want to try too. There are so many creative blogs out there with such fun ideas....I just want to quit work and try them all!
I used Minkee fabric on the back. I was a little hesitant to try it, but I'm really impressed with how easy it quilted. I love how soft and cuddly it makes the quilt. I definitely will be using it a lot more for baby quilts.
