The pool has had lots of ice on it for the last week or so. We were down to one big chunk yesterday afternoon… our own personal iceberg!

I finally found the time to line the triangular drawers in the parts bin with acid free scrapbooking paper. Once lined, I filled the drawers with all sorts of fun stuff – silk bits, beads, sequins, crafting tools… the list is very long. I labeled the drawers with colorful paper, in my own less-than-perfect
printing. I may go back and do a fancier job, but it's working for now.

It was nice to fondle some of these fibers that I had forgotten I had. I really am going to have to come up with some projects where I can use this stuff that I can't resist buying.

It's way cold in Dallas – and quite possibly it's colder where you are. I've been saving this photo of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward (found on Cup of Jo a while back) to share on just the right day. This is it. 

Or maybe this is a better image (from Weird Friends):

I found this a while back on Weird Friends. I don't know where I'd ever use the fabric but the designs in it are pretty good. Look at the reindeer and some of the tree shapes. They would work well as applique designs.

So many of us are in the deep freeze that I thought this would be a good time to share these photos of females on the beach. I took these photos when I was in California not long ago…

This lady was in her 80s if she was a day. Honestly, I hope to be as fit as she is at that age!

My son Chris is helping me with my social networking skills today. While I have had a Facebook page and a Twitter account for a long time, I really have not used them. I blog, right here, and am happy to just keep up with that. But there is hope that this will change a bit.

I've got a new Facebook fan page. That's where all my facebooking is going to happen from now on so if you have a link to the old page, and you want to keep up, please click here and then click the button to become a fan. If nothing else, when I make a new blog post or find something to tweet about, you should know!
