Tusal update and WIP update

Happy February!  It's been a windy and wild February for us in the Midwest.  Wednesday we got socked with quite the winter snowstorm - lots of snow and high winds made for getting out of work early, having the next day off AND being paid for it.  Yippee!  Thursday morning we woke up to a foot drift in front of our back door and 4 foot drifts at the bottom of our driveway.  Fortunately, my wonderful brother in law brought his snowblower over after he finished his own clearing and then cleared our driveway and our sidewalks.  He spent over an hour on our place AFTER spending an hour doing his own.  He looked like the abominable snowman when he was done, complete with icicles in his beard.  I really should have taken a picture, but I didn't.

I worked for two weeks on my daughters birthday present, Winter Queen and here is where she was as of Sunday this week.

Next, we have Quaker Sampler from The Workbasket.  I just started working on this again after a 3 week hiatus and here's where I ended last night after Glee was over.

And last, but not least, is my Tusal for the new moon.  I did change the container as I found a little bit bigger one.  It doesn't look like much, but it's about a quarter full.

Well, that's it for now.  I'm going to be working on Quaker Sampler for the next week and then I'll switch off to my Papillon Castles in the Air.  I decided to rotate each piece and work on each for a week so that each one gets a solid week of stitching.  In between, I'll work on any smalls I want to do.  I've just about finished up my piece for the Yahoo ILCS froggy exchange in honor of our moderator Rene who passed away in January after a very sudden cancer diagnosis.  After the recipient has received it, I'll post pictures.

As Porky Pig would say....That's all folks!
