My computer STILL is not fixed, but I wanted to get a post in anyway. I do plan on doing SHOW AND TELL TUESDAY tomorrow, so please plan to right along with me! :)
Here are some fun things I found on Pinterest:
I like these rules for healthy living.
I sure wish I could knit!
Another amazing quilt by Faith.
I love this vintage quilt!
Cute and cozy for baby.
This makes me laugh!
Have a great day, Friends!

Peeps!
Oh my goodness, these are the quitessential Easter candy, don't you think?
And there seems to be two camps when it comes to these sweeties: you either love 'em or you hate 'em.
And I am wondering which camp you are in!
Me? Well, in all honesty I am a hater. First up, I think they are funny looking. Kind of like walruses on sleds. And the taste? Eeeew! And the texture? Double eeeew!
But I do love Peeps lovers! I have several good friends who can't get enough of these! I even have one friend who buys them, opens them, and lets them sit out in the air until they harden to a texture she just loves.
Too funny!
Please comment and tell me your position on Peeps:
Love 'em? Hate 'em?

A little bit of spring is popping up around here! It's always a surprise to see our crocuses flowering. A wonderful surprise, of course!
Today I am hoping to start and finish the zippered pouch tutorial (again!) so that it is all ready for next Tuesday. After that I want to work on a pincushion for a swap on Saturday.
Small, but good, goals.
***This quote about Pinterest just makes me laugh. Too true!
***I am loving the simple scallops on this quilt.
***Very Kerry Berry shows how to lasso and white out pictures. Great tutorial!
***This is so funny!
***I like this layered skirt for Aubry.
***Print this spring-y paper chain!
**I want to try theses gluten-free pretzel bites for my hubs. They look yummy!
Have a great day!

...bought a small pile of prints from Joann's. only the ones that really caught my eye.

...that it takes three handsome men to execute the finding of the proper Christmas tree?
It's a very tricky business, you know.
I always love how things get more involved when heavy equipment or impressive tools (like large saws) are involved.
I love my guys!
They even helped to decorate.
Happy Christmasing!

Yesterday, the temps started off at -11! Sheesh!
That's a bit cold for me, but hot chocolate always makes me warm up. My cup was filled a few times during the day.
The nice thing about snow and cold days where we live in Colorado, is the sunshine. You can always count on it. If it snows, the sun will come out tomorrow (oops! I may have just gotten a song stuck in your head!). If it's cold, even -11 degrees cold, the sun is generally shining. And I like that. Somehow it makes the low temps feel bearable.
Of course, I don't go stand outside in the cold or anything like that, but it makes me think that if I did leave my house and my steaming mug of hot chocolate, it would feel bearable outside.
Because the sun is shining.

On Sunday we tried to make our way into the mountains behind our house to find our Christmas tree, but white, slick roads kept us from making it to our destination. I am a bit sad to not have a tree yet, but we will try again next weekend.
I decided to add one small Christmas touch to our house before we get the tree: my new Ruby bunting. I love how it looks on the fireplace. Once the tree comes, the quilt ladder and the book basket will get relocated to the tree can be in it's place, but for now I like the look.
Just a tiny bit of Christmasing.
