Texas On Ice

 

San Antonio joined the rest of the nation
and was iced in yesterday.

The whole city was practically closed down,

including the highways.

San Antonio is a BIG city and has lots of highways.
There are highways on top of highways!
I'm not a city girl, so it kind of makes my head spin.

 

So, what do you do when you can't go out? 
Get busy in the sewing/craft room,
like everyone else!

While I worked on a Valentines' Day wallhanging

 

 

and finished up my project tote bag

 

 

my daughter got busy in her craft room,

making Valentine Day cards

at my request.

 

Her creative juices were flowing
and she couldn't stop!
We have more cards than we need.

So, she has generously offered to donate
a set of 4 of these sweet, homemade cards
for me to give-away.
(Anyone who purchased quilt label templates from me
is automatically entered for an extra opportunity to win.)

Unfortunately, there isn't enough time to mail these overseas
to arrive in time for Valentine's Day giving,
and I feel so badly about that.
I'll make up for it later!

Back to my wallhanging and project bag-
in an attempt to work with what I have,
I cut up an old chambray jumper,
used a charm pack that I won last year,
and found a length of natural canvas in my stash.
I was working on that Sweet Dreams stitchery
(pictured above with the tote)

 

for my evening handwork project,
so tried to do something quick and easy on the front of the tote,
no time for hand applique....this time.

During the evening hours, we worked on some cookies. 
I had just put out an order for a baby shower,

so there were lots of leftovers.
My daughter had meetings all week
and didn't get to help with the order,

so she finished up the batch of icing for me,
 so there would be no waste.

I apologize for the quality of today's pictures.
My computer is dying a rather slow and agonizing death,
and I can't really see them very well.
Not only that, I didn't exactly take the time to 'stage' them.
That's just like me.
Maybe if I publish them small.......

Hope your weekend is off to a great start!
Thanks for stopping in for a visit.
