Think Ruffles on Day 7

RUFFLES….an odd word when you break it down….RUF ( as in rough or Rolf as in what a dog does) and yet here we are TALKING- STITCHING-QUILTING Ruffles…Ruffles are soft, delicate, feminine…..I am MAD about RUFFLES !

A Ruffled Christmas Tammy Bag…
made especially for Shelly'sbuttons and more
she loves green….


My obsession as shared with you in the past came from watching Flamenco dancers with their heavily ruffled trains….I was in Spain at the time and at boarding school and I was always thinking of ways to add ruffles to the hems of my slips, socks, under "T's"… Now spin forward decades later and I'm still obsessed with anything and everything RUFFLES. Take where I am this morning- sitting here with my Mac this morning in my temp office upstairs, glancing around and note that ruffles seem to appear at every glance…ON my Oven MITTs ( my oldest recently added gingham ruffles to a lovely pair of red mitts) I have a stool whereby my feet are perched…( being so short, I need to have them resting somewhere) I have a pillow behind my back, yes ruffled…
I note a few Tammy BAGS ready for a photo shoot…YEP ruffled….The tablecloth on this table…yep ruffled…. I am wearing a long skirt, yep ruffled, my under cloths all have ruffles on them…

So it does seem TIMELY that one of our HOPs would be about RUFFLES… Amy our cheerleader for this hop was not realllllly a ruffled kind of person… but that may have changed…She has been ruffling many of us with her cheers and inspiring personality…
And she has gathered some RUFFLED Enthusiasts too…
Let's see WHO will have you RUFFLED TODAY?

Think RUFFLES along with us!

we are still snowed in..

Here are some pics from yesterday.
David had to stay home, so we made a make shift office for him…
he went to do some snow blowing and had his laptop on the weather channel..
Look who could not believe it either….

She kept watching the snow blow in on the weather channel…. she sat there for about 20 minutes….

PEEPS have drive-ins such as A&W….here at our home we have
FLY-By-Fly-INs…..yesterday I emptied a bag of seed, 20 cups of food
for my feathered friends….each hour the snow would just cover up
everything….. Once you start feeding these wee things..you must
continue till spring….

David will be getting a couple more bags…I guess spring won't be here
for a bit…I think we had over a foot of snow yesterday..
The winds had swept snow drifts over 3 feet tall in our driveway….
Mr Buttons who seldoms ventures in too close stuck around the whole day..
his whole family kept flying in for some seeds….
