December 20, 2006

It's been a month since my last blog! Time flies when you're having fun.....
  1. I've read On Christmas Eve by Ann Martin, a few NASCAR books, another book on horse racing.
  2. Went to my local Borders bookstore for a premiere party of Bob Stroud's Rock and Roll Roots Volume 8. This event ended up being a fabulous, amazing and free concert of The Buckinghams, New Colony Six, Jim Petterick (Ides of March)and Bob Stroud. I never thought in a million years that I would LIVE to hear these guys do a live concert much less hear them in a venue so small I felt like they were jamming in my living room. I think they sounded better than any CD or vinyl recording, could that be possible?! I stayed around after the show and got ALL the guys to signed my CD insert - NICE GUYS!!!! I made a short DVD after I got home to commerate the experience.
  3. Completed 2 more BOM's in the Thimbleberries Club. That brings me up to October's BOM. I had been stuck in August because I had a mental block over half square triangles and quarter square triangles.
  4. Went to a great Brunch at a friend's home!
  5. Attended two work Christmas parties (so far) and had lots of fun.
  6. Finished - YEAH - a marketing video for work.
  7. Helped plan my guild's fantastic Christmas banquet - we are a very small group but a very caring group!
  8. bought a new wall grouping for over my couch - out with the old picture and in with a barn red star and black shelf unit! I can't wait to put it up! I bought this group at my favorite store in Crown Point, Indiana called Keepsakes. The store has primitive, folky stuff - love it all! They had to relocate due to a fire in the old store but the new store is beautiful - it has a new "feel" but they have wonderful things that aren't cluttery but folky!
  9. Went to a Quilters Christmas Party in Cedar Lake, Indiana. The house could haven been the setting for an old-fashioned country Christmas story - it had at least 5 Christmas trees! The food was home cooked! (Alice loves to cook, the 2 stoves were the first clue!) The home was warm and inviting with an absolutely sunny sun porch.
  10. Listened to the Cinnamon Bear with my students.
  11. put together my wool quilt - Time Began in a Garden. I needed the inspiration so I could continue the journey. It's getting there!
I am wishing for a little snow, no ice please! It's too hot for December! Just a little snow - please!

Happy Holidays
