Merry Christmas!

I'm heading to work tomorrow and then directly out-east for Christmas Eve dinner. Followed by an overnight at my parents - where my brother and his family from Jacksonville will also be staying. We each have a young daughter so we're both leaving notes at our respective homes to direct Santa to Babcie and Dzaidzi's house. My patience has been short these past few weeks, so I'm looking for the 'work' part of Christmas to be over, and the enjoyment part to begin. Witnessing the belief in Santa has been amazing....I am taking her lead.

Also wanted to include some pics of the snow we had last Saturday night - we don't have a sled, but improvised. :-)

Merry Christmas everyone. May the star brightly shine for you at this time of year.

First Day of Spring!

Happy "First Day of Spring" everyone!

One would think today would be filled with blooming crocuses, sprouting tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, singing robin red-breasts, but NOOOOOOOOOO....not in New York City! Instead it is cold and SNOWING.....

Booooooooooo!

A Treasury for a Sunday Morning

Happy March 1st! March is definitely coming in like a lion on Long Island. We've got a dusting of snow this morning and due for 9" of snow overnight into Monday afternoon. And it is COLD out there!! My commute into work tomorrow will stink not only because of the storm, but also because I need to lug the freakin' laptop. uugh.

I woke to a nice note that my chenille quilt was included in a Treasury by SandmanQuilts. Here is the Treasury and the link if you want to view and comment:
