Joann Fabrics

This is my first purchase from Joann Fabrics. I got the basket for my bathroom. The felt was purchased to make heart garland like this one. I know that Valentine's Day is Sunday, but I think if I cut them out tonight I can have one sewn up Thursday night.

Movie Reviews

This weekend Bo and I watched two movies and the Super Bowl. Needless to say we didn't get much done because we watched a lot of TV.

Temple Grandin was on HBO Saturday night, and I was really looking forward to watching it. There are times when I complain about the cost of HBO and then a movie likes this comes along and it reminds me why we pay for HBO. Temple Grandin is one of those movies that you continue to think about way after you have seen it. Claire Danes did a wonderful job. This movie was wonderfully made. Temple Grandin is Autistic and I loved the way the movie showed how she visualises things. It made me want to learn more about Temple Grandin, and how she improved the treatment of cows when they went to slaughter. Bo, who was a butcher while in college, found this very interesting. If you get HBO or if this comes to DVD it is a definite watch.


The other movie we watched was Night at the Museum 2. Let me say that this is not as good as the first one, but enjoyable. It is a good non thinking movie. I'm glad that we only paid a $1.00 for it from red box, which if you haven't checked out red box yet you need to.

January's Event

Remember when Bo and I said that we would have to experience something around town. Please ignore the dates on these pictures because we went on the 31st. We went to the Montgomery Home and Garden Show. It was really disappointing so I don't have any pictures inside. I think the oddest booth was the local funeral home.

The Conference center has this wonderful painting on one of the walls. I love this painting.



I would love to have it accept that it is $8,000.00.

Joann Opened

Yesterday, Joann opened and of course I had to go to see it. It is GREAT!

Have you seen the sun?

Rain Rain Go Away

Come Again Another Day.

This is so how feel. I know that in the months to come we will want to see rain, but right now I just want to see the sunshine

For some reason I'm tired this week, and I think it's because I haven't seen the sun in FOREVER. I'm not one to talk about the weather, but this cloud cover has got to go. I don't mind the cold and wind, but not seeing the sun and ALL OF THIS RAIN is getting to me. Yes, we will have more rain today and probably tomorrow. Maybe I should start building a boat?
So what is the weather like in your area?

50 People Punch

My friend Busty asked for the punch recipe from the shower the other day. This is my mother in laws recipe.

Punch for 50

2 cups sugar
2 quarts of water with 2 packages of Lemon-Lime Kool-Aid
1 quart ginger ale
1 46 oz can pineapple juice
Lemon Juice from 1 Lemon (Keep slices to put in punch or ice mold)
Food coloring if you wish for affect

Add all ingredients together accept Ginger ale.
Chill.
Just before serving add ginger ale.

Additionally you can freeze some of the punch with fruit slices in the mold to keep the the punch cold.

New Projects

I picked up these fabrics last week. The monkey fabric will become shorts for my nephew and the turtle fabric will become a dress for my niece. Now I have to find a pattern for the turtle fabric.
