Have you ever...

...done this??


Yes, the needle is through the pin. I think only I could manage this!

Alyssa's quilt is quilted. Tomorrow is binding and washing. Thanks for all the great suggestions for keeping it from bleeding. Looks like a cup of salt wins so tomorrow night I will give it a whirl!
This is a picture from Saturday and the snow we had. I love how the trees look.

This is half of a 55 gallon drum that protects my rose bush. That is how much snow we had. We now have about 2-3 more inches. I am ready for Spring!

Yesterday was my one year check-up with my cardiologist. They were thrilled! My progress was way beyond what they had hoped and they were all surprised at how good I am doing. My surgeon was there and I got to see him and he was completely thrilled! I didn't come off any of my meds yet, but that's okay, small price to pay! Here are some pictures I took yesterday with my phone. I always mean to take my camera; there are some great churches down there, but I always forget! And of course there was a huge snowstorm coming home!

Off to blog read and have some hot chocolate! It's only supposed to be -10 for a low tonight! Yipes!!

Yahoo! You passed your visit with the cardiologist and surgeon with flying colours! Way to go girl!

I think celebrating by drinking hot chocolate and reading blogs is an excellent idea :^)

I have done that!LOL! I kept the pin because I was amazed the needle went through it with out breaking. My favorite is when I stipple over a pin. I haven't done it in a long time. I guess I'm a little more patient now. maybe.
