trivial info...

My *love for snow people* is well known by my family and most of my friends. A few posts ago (1/8) I did share a picture of a snowcouple gifted to me by my son and his family for Christmas! Today I am sharing a picture of another snowman that I received as a Christmas gift from my daughter and her family. Mickey my granddaughter that you hear about often, in addition to her many other activities she is a hospital volunteer and works in the gift shop. She discovered this snowman in the gift shop and thought of me...thank you sweet Mickey!

(what a cutie, serves as a nightlight too)


This is a fabric that I wish I had been thinking more clearly when I purchased just 4 yds. of it, I may need to return for more ;>)!! This fabric was called to my attention by my local Amish Fabric Shop, it is actually 60" wide, unlike the traditional 44" or 45", and it feels wonderful to the touch! Since I so much love the traditionals this is perfect for me, and being wide will work great to consider for backings! The shop owner told me that the salesman stated that "the width was an error on the part of the company (??)" and therefore the fabric shop owner is selling it for just $4.75 a yard. I will be watching for more fabric that the companies make an error with, strange don't you think?

The real reason for the trip to the fabric shop was for needles. On the Christmas list for Mickey appeared *needles*, so I did in fact *think* that I put needles in her stocking...tiny package that it was, they disappeared and Mickey did not end up with the needles! This time no wrapping and they are waiting on her sewing machine ~ sorry Mickey I am not sure where they ended up the first time ~ maybe Joe, Dan or Cam received a tiny package that they didn't understand! Just teasing everyone in the family would know who would have received sewing supplies in her Christmas stocking ;>D!


And the last bit of news on the "trivial info" entry...I have my new camera and I am doing my best to master it...actually I need an opportunity to test it on a long distance concert shot! Thanks Rose for reminding me to tell about my camera!

Have a great day on this very cold in PA Saturday!
