My New Year started with a sew-a-thon. I follwoed a New Year's Day mystery quilt pattern on http://www.planetpatchwork.com/. They gave directions once an hour during the day. By the end of the day, I had a quilt top. It's not finished, but I'll call it 'Cocoa and Marshmallows.' .JPG)
As far as quilting goes- I've been trying to finish up some quilting class projects before I start anything new. The show for them is this April, so I have 2 months to get 4 quilts finished. I got 2 others finished. One was some Sunbonnet Sue blocks that I got as a block exchange back in 2002. I finally got them put together and quilted. Alisha gets that one.
I also finished one class project called a stack-n-whack. It's hard to tell from just the pictures, but it is made from chicken fabric.
My other main project this month has been digital scrapbooking. I have really gotten into this and love it so much that I don't know if I'll ever go back to paper. I have a slideshow of some of my layouts here. I've even started scanning in old pictures and finally getting them scrapped.
We had Blue and Gold Dinner this week. Michael got his Arrow of Light and crossed over to Boy Scouts. Richard served as Cubmaster for the last time.

We finally got snow on the 15th of January.
It has been such a wierd winter. We still only have just 3 inches or so on the ground, but it was -24 degrees when we went to church on Sunday. School was cancelled on Monday. The kids were happy.We had an enrichment meeting this month that focused on food storage-then we placed food storage orders. 3 of us went to the storehouse to pick it up last week, and we will get together to can it tomorrow. We also had a ward potluck dinner where everyone brought something that was made using their food storage. It was our best and biggest potluck ever. I made an apple cake from dehydrated apples.
John and Emily had an FFA Competition last week. Emily's team came in first for Quiz Bowl, and John's team came in 2nd for Parlimentary Procedure.
Emily also had Jr. High Solo/Ensemble competition this last week. She got a 1 on her vocal solo, and a 2 on her clarinet solo.
Well, I guess that gets me up to date to start my offical blog! Now, to post it and see how it works!
