Wow Life is a bowl of ...


                                                     ...holly berries!   Teeny ones, too.

These are yo,yo's.  They are supposed to resemble berries so they don't get flattened.  The first ones were sew fiddly and then I realized I'd forgotten the 1/8th inch seam allowance on the template.  I don't think it made much difference!  I'd start over as I think I'm doing something wrong but they are little, cute and they do look like berries!  ;-)

ABSOLUTELY FREEZING COLD here in central Canada.  I wonder what it is like in the rest of Canada?

    Aw look, she is actually working on my quilt :)

    Everybody keep cheering her on so I actually get it some day!

    After three days of -30 it has "warmed up" to -25 here in northern Alberta.

    Wow they are tiny. I'd be tempted to switch to buttons just to avoid teeny tiny yo-yos.

    I was tempted to whine about our -20 but then I saw Laura's comment on -30. :)

    Dipping below -30 C here in Central Alberta again this weekend...meanwhile I am enjoying the sunshine and mid-teens afternoons and the fact that my kitchen taps and drains are (still) working!

    Tiny yo-yo's? You are a braver woma than I, elle!

    That is so pretty! I love any Christmas themed quilt! It's cold in eastern Canada too.

    More than freezing cold, nights -23 C, days with icy winds .... my dog despairs, but I get some sewing done, although nothing as nice as your wreath.

    The yoyo's look great as holly berries. Bitterly cold here today at -37. It's the 1st of March though so Spring is coming!!

    I love the berries, just the way they are. I wouldn't change a thing. Compared to the rest of you, here in Nova Scotia, we can look forward to a warm and balmy -7, tonight.
