Julie's Baby quilt - done

The confidence of finishing this quilt in time for today's baby shower wasn't sitting quite at 100%, but... a strong 85% indeed.

And sure enough;  the procrastinator's schedule almost lead to a Murphy's Law when my bobbin was acting up on the Juki quilter.  Thankfully, with a little bit of cleaning, she was back to work...

I think this is the closest I've ever been to a deadline before when the final stitch was sewn.  

On the running front...

{{hanging head in shame}}

I haven't run since Tuesday!  YIKES!!!!

So, after the shower today, I simply must hit the treadmill OR street, weather permitting.  The sunshine outside is BEAUTIFUL, but sunshine can be deceiving when sitting inside a heated Wisconsin home.  The temp this morning was -2.6 degrees.  Gah!  I'm so ready for 90 degrees and sunshine and green grass.....

:D

Happy Saturday.

February summed up

Oh, I have been a bad, bad blogger :S  LOL

Sorry everyone!!!!  Really :D

So, here's the whirlwind tour..... 

YES!  I have done a little bit of quilting (only a lil though) !  I have a baby shower coming up this Saturday, and I will pull a perfect procrastinator's schedule with this quilt.  I have yet to add one more blue border, and then the quilting, all to be fit in sometime this week before the shower on Saturday at 1:00.  I got this.... no biggy :)

I also have been working on organizing some more units for the Omigosh quilt leader-ender project.  NO RUSH at all here;  purely my leader-enders.  So much fun to play with all those mixtures of 1" scrap strips :)

Family fun time has been in quite a bit of full swing on the weekends.   Paul and I have certainly tried to keep these dreary days of winter entertaining...

Tubing in the snow...

Tubing in the water...  {{OBVIOUSLY an indoor water park}}

I do enjoy my snow and winter sports, but..... yup.  I'm ready for the snow to start melting and for Spring temperatures and smells to start taking over.  We here in Wisconsin have another solid month to survive before that'll happen, though :)

ALTHOUGH...Tonight, Cassie and I dressed in a couple of layers to enjoy the 32 degree weather with a nice 1.83 mile run.  She's getting sooooooo dang tall!  Easily 2-3 inches taller than me!

I know I've said this before, but here it is again... I LOVE THIS Nike+ Run App! Love it love it love it.  

This past weekend was barbershop at our household.  And dear Cassie wanted her hair CHOPPPPPED.  Since her hair is SO think, I ended up banding it in pigtails before cutting it.  The outcome:  DOUBLE the donation to Locks of Love.

So, yeah.  Life is continuing....

OH!!!! AND......

All of my running has been leading me ultimately subconsciously to another marathon, I think.

After hovering over the Registration button for a full week, I finally hit "SUBMIT" yesterday afternoon.

Green Bay or bust, right Andee???
