Aunt Millie's Flower Garden Progress
I am still chewing away at the Millie blocks. It is slow going, and I get distracted often. Tomorrow I go back to work after a week's vacation. Work is the greatest distraction of all. Students are starting back after their break, so it will be amazing busy in the computer labs where I work.

That Book
I stopped by the library on my way home Friday, and I picked up a bunch of eye candy books. The one I like the most is by Country Living called "A Bit of Velvet & a Dash of Lace: The Fabulous Interiors of MAGNOLIA PEARL" by Robin Brown. There are a lot of really great ideas in the book. I have always loved bits and pieces of beautiful things from the broken dish pieces I collected out of my great grand-parents ash heap to the buttons in the button box to unfinished Sunbonnet Sues cut out at my grandmothers dining room table. Bits and pieces of flowers on anything from fabric to ceramic are treasures to discover. Enjoy the video (4/29 sorry, video missing) of Robin Brown, and check out the book!

Colors for next Millie block
I hadn't read the instructions for preparation for my Thursday workshop thoroughly. We need to bring pre-quilted cotton with cotton batting and backing to make the overnight bag. I already had pre-quilted fabric I wanted to use, but I don't know the fabric content, so it is good we have a snow day off from school so I can create my pre-quilted cotton for the bag.

Snowing on the Maltese in Georgia
AC was leaving to get us hot fudge sundaes for dinner when I mentioned Bruster's Ice Cream was probably closed because of the blizzard. Duh! So he retreated to the bedroom with a bag of Doritos to watch his new TV. I was getting hungry, and since I had cleaned Andy's bathroom, I figured he wouldn't mind sharing the rest of his chocolate-covered cherries with me. Andy was still at work (or wherever), and I couldn't ask, so I went on into his room to get the box of chocolates. Shock of my life; the box was EMPTY! In a dissappointed daze, I wandered into the bedroom for a Dorito or two; the bag was EMPTY! I am stuck here in a Georgia snow storm with a refrigerator full of TOFU, MISO and CABBAGE!?!? What the HELL?!
