I won a giveaway!

I won a giveaway hosted by Ann at A Good Yarn! I've only entered a few giveaways so it's especially wonderful that I won! Equally wonderful was seeing my blog listed in Ann's blog list! She lives in Australia so I have a world-wide following! (See me here rolling on the floor with laughter!!!) Thank you Ann, you made my day!

Larry and I went out looking at trailers/fifth wheels again today, sigh. Didn't really find anything we totally adore, a couple that were close or maybe's. Thinking on it.

Wonderfully warm today, pretty windy but a nice relief from the cold. I know it won't last and I'm okay with the unsettled nature of Missouri in the spring! Can't really imagine the weather Steve has in San Diego--totally wonderful all the time, totally boring. I like a good spring thunderstorm. Lightening is awesome! Of Course, when a tornado, microburst etc come with it that's not so cool.

I cut out and began sewing the pieces of flannel for a travel quilt. When Larry and I visit a new place we like to collect patches but didn't know what to do with them so I thought I'd make a simple flannel quilt to sew them on. It's navy, hunter green and chocolate brown as those are the colors I use for accents in the trailer, I'll back it in fleece and tie it then sew on the patches as we collect them. Have about 20 already. It will be a fun reminder of all the places we've been together.

Went shopping yesterday, got some absolutely wonderful inserts for my shoes that keep my neuroma from hurting--thank you Lucas for telling us about them! Then I did other shopping and attempted to find the quilt shops in Lee's Summit--no luck. I did get a piece of orange for Larry's Agent Orange block and some project boxes.

I'd like to get some sewing done so I'm off!
