Valentines-Geschenk

Am Samstag kam doch tatsächlich ein Valentines-Bote vorbei und brachte mir und Candy Man ein Geschenk aus Texas. *winke-winke* Hallo Marianne vielen Dank dafür.

Es kam von Isabell, zwei wunderschöne von ihr selbstgenähte Herzen. Ich hab mich ganz doll darüber gefreut. Vielen lieben Dank du Süsse - ganz toll genäht. Das grosse Herz ist für mich und das kleinere ist für Candy Man. Welches selbstverständlich an die Box gehängt wurde. Für mein Herz suche ich noch einen schönen Ehrenplatz, damit ich es sooft wie möglich sehen kann

Candy wollte auch noch unbedingt was los werden ;-)

HAPPY VALENTINE

I wish you all a HAPPY VALENTINE with lots of love

crafty-mässig wurde nichts gemacht

Also was das Nähen angeht, da habe ich seit Mittwoch oder so.... nicht mehr viel gemacht - eigentlich gar nichts. Das einzige, wo ich Stoffe in der Hand hatte, war das Zuschneiden der Stoffe für den Geburtstags-Stoff-Swap - aber das war auch wirklich alles. Heute hatte ich mir vorgenommen etwas Zeit in der Nähstubb zu verbringen, aber jetzt sitz ich hier am PC und stelle neue Posts ein. So hier noch ein Bild von den Stoffen für den Swap

Sorry ich musste das Bild zensieren, da ja vielleicht doch der eine oder andere Quiltfriend hier vorbeischaut, die evtl. bei dem Swap teilnehmen und so die Überraschung weg wäre. *zwinker*

Walk in the snow

Oh what a surprise it snowed again overnight - my new exercise programm in the morning shoveling snow and its totally free - and if you cant get enough go ahead and clean up the sidewalks in the neighbourhood.

When I got to the stable I decided to go for a walk with our old, doing better Eboli - as soon as I got her halter on, our dog Jacky decided to come too. So we went for a 45 min walk through the snow - here are some pics.

I guess you can tell that Eboli is still recovering from her udder-infection she is still on medication and looks tired. She is 24 years old and I think it takes her time until she 100 % healthy again. BTW Eboli is Candy Mans Mom

And some more we saw - weired looking trees or just icicles

Candy Man and his buddies were outside at the paddock the whole day

Snow, snow and more snow

I´m shoveling snow since tuesday - every morning when I got up and looked out of the window - yikes - it has snown again. Well - go downstairs and start my morning exercise - shoveling snow!! This morning we got close to 5 " of the white stuff and until I got my driveway, sidewalk and the yard-path cleaned - I was almost late for work. So I run upstairs got changed, grabed my bag and left even without a sip of coffee. It´s not that I dont like snow - I actually love to have alot of snow - I just dont like to shovel it every morning... escpecially when its going to melt anyway later on that day

But this time it looks like it will stay for a couple of days.....

P. S. it just started snowing again......

Some little sewing

Last night after I was done with the horsis I was looking forward to go upstairs in my sewing room. It´s nothing better when there is a stormy windy weather outside and I´m sitting right underneath the roof and I can listen to the wind howling around the roofs-corner. So I was in my sewing room with a cup of yummie creamy cappuccino and a furball. It´s amazing how cats can change because when my Dad was still alive Bizkit never-ever came into my sewing room to spend some time with me. Know he cant wait until we get up there - Bizkit already got his own chair - since he always was sitting on mine as soon as I got off the chair. I was sipping on my cappuccino and when Bizkit decided to sit on my lap - great.... no sewing. But he is the kind of cat which dont to be touched alot - so I kept fondle (is this the right word??) him and he left after 15 minutes. Yeah lucky me - I have two baby-flannel-quilts-ufos laying around - so I started to sew on the binding on one of them the backside of the binding will be hand-sewn the next couple of days.

I dont have a use for this quilt and I think I will donate it to a charity bazaar or something like that.
