MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Just to prove that I've been doing SOMETHING!!

Yes, I have been working on something, believe it or not.  Not all my time has been spent waffling about what project to start next (which, btw, is percolating in the background).  
See?...



Most of you know how much I dislike winter.  Today is a prime example of why - it has been snowing pretty much all day and the forecast calls for it to turn to freezing rain tonight.  Oh joy!  So...your quote for today is this one....from Carl Reiner..."A lot of people like snow.  I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water"

    I am one of those snow loving people MA ;-)
    I got lost for a bit at your links for decluttering.
    Thank you for sharing those.
    I saw a fun thing today that said something like I thought I needed to be more organized but really I just needed less stuff!
    Your stitch sampler is super. The black and white is very dramatic and shows the stitches beautifully.
    Your header is really special too.
    Stay warm and cozy oxo

    Your sampler is beautiful! I love the white on black. You always share the best links. Wow.

    Sending you safe wishes with your weather. It has been raining here and is supposed to snow with temperatures dropping. (I just picture snow on ice.) We generally get up to 3 days of the white stuff maybe every 3 years or so. This year, we have had a lot more than that already. (Is it spring yet?!) Warmest wishes heading your way!

    This is a beautiful stitching start to 2017 and will make the perfect insert for your binder Mary Anne! I am with you on your opinions of snow! Christine x

    Love your sampler. Fantastic and dramatic in black and white. I've been following along with the sampler but haven't, as yet, started mine.
    I hate winter too, and was so happy when we moved to NZ. The climate here is just right for me. I can always go 'up the mountain' if I want snow. From my house I can see the snow on top of Mt. Taranaki, and that is enough for me.

    Your sampler stitches good great - white on black - very dramatic! Thanks for the link to my blog. I will certainly be reading up on cleaning out my studio. Thanks again.

    That cat quilt from Missouri Star is really cute and the block works up really fast. I'm working on a quilt in 1930's for my granddaughter's big girl bed.

    Love your sampler. I started doing it as well. I'm half way through the first twelve bands.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
