Winter Storm Coming

The Weather Bug really has me squirming today. Big storm coming this weekend...will it be 4 or 24 inches? Will it be ice or snow? Dont' normally worry about this, but my daughter Sarah turns 16 tomorrow and I have a Surprise Party all ready to go on Sunday. Hope it happens. The good news about the snow is that her auditions for the Governor's School for the Arts have been cancelled and I won't have to worry about the 2 hr drive to Fairmont. Maybe I can hunker down and do some fusing. I'm getting some ideas and I have a new batch of fabric, so I am really itching to get to work.

Blog surfing just now, I found Karoda's blog. I met her in New Albany last weekend and am happy to see her postcards and classwork on line.

I'll report and weekend fusing successes next week. In the mean time, there's always a knitting project in my bag!
