Muddy Spring

Here's my little snowman

"I be a snowman Mom" 

In other news, remember a while back I asked what I ought to do for this big birthday coming up?  I decided (since an opportunity was given to me) that I would attempt to publish an article.  My dearest took some pictures for the article and I thought I would share a few "from the cutting room floor".  These are the ones that I didn't send, but still like for my own purposes.  I'm a little partial to those faces.

Ring!

Thanks to those of you out there that gave me feedback.  I really appreciate it!

So here's my little plan for this year:  Try 40 things

Here's what I've done so far:

1.  Publish an article (in process, but out of my hands at the moment)

2.  Accept an opportunity to sit on a teacher interview board

 (even though stepping into a school makes me slightly sick to my stomach).

3.  Make a quilt top of my own design that isn't squares.

(I'll take a picture of this one as soon as I can.  I really love how it turned out)

4.  Complete a quilt top from a pattern. (this went off with Granny before I remembered to take a picture, but 2 years into it it's done!)

That's only one a month so far and I'd better get going if I'm going to make it by the end of the year, but summer's on the horizon.  There are all kinds of opportunities there.
