Christmas Nails

I've just had my Christmas nails done.  Take a look.

It took this poor girl over an hour to do these two toes.  Thankfully I had vetoed having all my toe nails done.  By the time she had finished holding my toe like this, it was really aching!

A Busy Few Days

Wow!  I don't know about you, but the last few days have been busy, busy, busy.

Sue Hammond took me to a Chinese restaurant opposite Democracy Monument, called Maria's.  The food was really good, especially the spinach dim sum.  Janice, I had a delicious chicken and cashew nuts also, which made me think of you! Er, I'm not suggesting you look like a chicken.

My Confetti Quilt

Woodland Stroll

So here is what I made in the class.  I ended up really pleased with it.  It is very intense in colour and the figure in front really catches your eye.

CONFETTI NATURESCAPE QUILT CLASS WITH NORIKO ENDO

On Sunday I took a quilting class with Noriko Endo, who (for those of you who have never heard of her) is a Japanese quilter.

The class took place at Central Chitlom.  We arrived to find that there is a complete craft fair going on.  I am hoping to get back over there to check it out before I leave for Singapore.

I'M BACK!!!

Oh good grief!

I take a few weeks off the blog to move, tend the sick and do a quilt class and what do I get?

Moan, moan, moan!

When are you getting back on the blog?  It's your turn now!  What's happened to Nora?

In order to stop this barrage, I have been forced to post an entry

Roger and I went to our very first Grand Daughter Dance Recital today. Being our first we did and we didn't know what to expect. Cute little girls bumping into each other, going in the opposite direction than they were supposed to, or standing perfectly still while the dance went on around them all were to be expected. What we didn't expect was the High School Auditorium which seats six hundred plus filled to capacity with excited family members waiting to see their little ones dance.

Record Winds

We occasionally get high winds coming through the canyons above Bountiful, Centerville and Farmington, but the ones we got this morning were record setting. They started around 2:00 am and by 6:30 am the power was off and the winds were up to 100 miles an hour. Pretty eerie not being about to find quiet place anywhere in the house, and fearful the roof might be damaged, if not blown off. I have a new appreciation for those who go through tornadoes and hurricanes on a regular basis.
