Cold is a Relative Thing……

DSCN0006

  • 65 above zero: Floridians turn on the heat, people in Iowa plant gardens.
  • 60 above zero: Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in Iowa sunbathe.
  • 50 above zero: Italian and English cars won’t start. People in Iowa drive with the windows down.
  • 40 above zero: Georgians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, and wool hats. People in Iowa throw on a flannel shirt.
  • 35 above zero: New York landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Iowa have the last cookout before it gets cold.
  • 20 above zero: People in Miami all die. Iowans close the windows.
  • Zero: Californians fly away to Mexico. People in Iowa get out their winter coats.
  • 10 below zero: Hollywood disintegrates. The Girl Scouts in Iowa are selling cookies door to door.
  • 20 below zero: Washington DC runs out of hot air. People in Iowa let the dogs sleep indoors.
  • 30 below zero: Santa Claus abandons the North Pole, Iowan’s get upset because they can’t start the snow-mobile.
  • 40 below zero: ALL atomic motion stops. People in Iowa start saying…..”cold enough fer ya?”
  • 50 below zero: Hell freezes over and Iowa public schools will open 2 hours late.

I received this from a friend at work and just had to post it! It’s too funny and too true. I’m sure all other Iowans and other northern states can totally relate, especially with all the snow we’ve had this year!

"Tulip Bag"

Took a class last night and this is ,what acutally turned out to be, my ADORABLE  "tulip bag". I am unsure exatly why its called a tulip bag, but think it has to do with the panels you cut, they reminded me of flower petals. It's suppose to only take two hours, but I have no idea when they start timing, as took a good hour just to cut all the fabric, batting, durabond etc, let alone all the sewing after that, more like a 3-4hour project. But still very worth it! (all I need now is a cutie button)  The next pic below,shows my lovely pockets. I put two big ones and one small on outside, and one big with one small on inside... Look at all the stashing space! I did the JUMBO size, which is basketball size, so plenty big to use as a purse or, as I'm thinking, a knitting bag. But, who knows, it was easy enough that I could make several more and then use one as a purse too, lol.

Here is my, April’s row from The Painted Quilt , Happy Scrappy Spring BOM. I used a dark blue embroidery floss #823 instead of the red instructed, as it fits in with our household colors and i have all boys, who majority seem to like blues.
