snap!

An early opportunity to make these little snap purses for Christmas gifts for friends and family.

This is the only site I have today, too busy to go looking for them.

We had another lovely day. It was one of those beautiful spring days that I  love so much.  The first thing we did was to go to Sears  to return one of the tees I bought last week which was too small. On the way to the cashier we passed something pink. Ray said that would look good on you so he picked it up along with a matching top. He loves to shop and colour attracts his eye. I did get refunded on the other one and went away with a new pink jacket and a lovely top.

Then he found a shirt that he liked for himself. He said oh I don't want to spend the money. I said you do want to spend that money as  you just bought me something lovely , now it's your turn!

For some reason he hid his face and laughed at me LOL.

We decided that we were going to go to the airport. It is a lovely airport . We parked our car and walked across to the lower floor. We went up in the elevator to the upper floor and had some lunch. We had an interesting sandwich, turkey and hot capicola, lettuce and tomato on a nice nutty bread. Coffee too. It was most tasty.

This wonderful piece was carved out of a huge slab of B.C. jade but the amazing artistic carver now deceased Bill Reid. It is the first thing you see when you get to the upper floor- a lovely greeting for visitors.

His works of art are incredible. He made rings and bracelets carved from gold .

One of the shops at the airport.

On the way home we passed by the casino, well not really passed by. We went in for a couple of hours. We came out with the same amount of money we went in with. That was good! We had fun and it didn't cost us anything.

Then we had to go for gas. It is now a whopping $1.50 per litre. That is ciausing a big fuss here on the airwaves and television. So much of it is tax for the government as spending money. I am quite jaded these days with our government.
However it was still a beautiful day and I was very happy.

Matthew called to say Chelsea would be home June 16 for 10 days, then back to Toronto she goes. She likes it there and she is doing well at university.

After I do this blog I plan to sew two more of the Drunkards Path blocks as that is all I have prepared for sewing.

Adam and Lisa when they visited Jean and Sam in Delaware. Not sure if I posted this previously but as I always say it never hurts to see things twice LOL. Keeps the memory sharp!

A prayer for all small boys. I had small boys and can remember the things they could get into even though they were all really good boys. A prayer will help things along haha.

I got the pattern for this Amish girl in Iowa from the creator of it. I made it when I got home and call it rebellion becuase the AMish are plain folk and do not believe in adornment . I put that piec of lace at the bottom as a symbol of her rebellion. It is an easy one to do , she has no face so that hard work did not exist, the rest was easy. As usual my quilting was not that good but better done than not.

Have a great evening folks.
