Some updates

Today is March 1st which is great news as that means Spring is just around the corner even if when I look out the window it doesn't look like it . February was a long month weather wise , lots of snow and wind so I am ready for Spring and flowers and leaves on the trees ,yes I am !! 
I have chosen a winner by random number generator for my little giveaway in the It's all about Me" blog hop , for some reason I can not figure out how to copy that and paste it , it immediately choses another number , I know it is my error but you will have to take my word for it that the number chosen was number 9 Jeanette who said    "    Jeanette said... Love it Sheila. Just fabulous. Hugs,xx." I was really quite pleased that her number was chosen as she is a sweet friend of mine so I will mail off the little mug rug to you as soon as possible Jeanette . Thanks so much to everyone who commented and to those who are new followers I really appreciate it and I wish I had a gift for all of you .
 On the sewing front I have completed round two of Darlene's Mystery quilt ,would you like to have a peak ...
I am really happy with how this is coming along and will be anxiously waiting for the next round next week . Yesterday was my granddaughters birthday and tomorrow we will be going to her party so I thought I better scramble and finish up those little art works they created when last here . It is funny how sometimes I procastinate on doing projects that really require such a small amount of time which is what happened here but now they are all finished and will be delivered to the girls tomorrow so I think they will be happy .
I think the little pillows are just precious and will give their rooms a little color that they created on their own . I also made Nila a pair of mittens using a felted sweater but neglected to take a photo , she has been doing some cross country skiing and told me her hands were cold so hoping these mittens will fix that little problem ,now I will have to make a pair for Elise too ;- )
 Lots of projects in the works that I hope March will bring some finishes ,if the weather is anything like it usually is in March there will be plenty of days that it is not that great for outdoor activities but will be perfect for sitting in my sewing room so no complaints from me .
Time for lunch so I will say so long for now , enjoy your day doing something fun and thanks so much for stopping by.
 Hugs Sheila_
