Oh, Oh, Oh!!

As I was finishing my Ho, Ho, Ho Christmas project today, I realized if you turn it upside down it says Oh, Oh, Oh....hmmm surely I can hang this somewhere when it's not Christmas time. Maybe on the frig when I am thinking of snacking. I'll have to ponder this for a while!!

We had rain again today. I know that we need it, but in the last couple weeks we have had a lot. Between the cold weather and the rain the plants have taken a beating. I really haven't even been out to work in the yard and it's getting to that time of year when I have the itch to do some gardening. We had about 30 minutes of sun, so I took a picture of my pansies. Looking a little sad from the dumping of rain and wind that we had this morning, but love those pretty little yellow flowers.

My picture taking abilities are not very good, but I am working on it. My last post I had a picture with a closeup of a Hershey's Kiss....I never look much at the background stuff, but there was a picture of my mom. She was such an amazing gardener. I really wish I had paid more attention and learned from her. She has been gone for 16 years and the older I get I realize how much I am like her. Although she wasn't a quilter, gardening was her passion and she worked her magic. We always had the most beautiful flower beds!

I have been working on this Sandy Gervais pattern using a Red White and Bold jelly
roll from Moda. Her patterns are really

wonderful and she has a great website. Hoping tomorrow I can get the scrappy outside border on and then it will be done.

Enough blabbing for me and wishing all of you a great start to your week, with some quilting fit in here and there!
