Randomness

- My list for the week: The Best Snacks. The list could have gone on and on forever... I had to stop myself somewhere. One thing is clear... I love my chocolate and my gummies. I actually do love fruit a lot, but a lot of the fruit I love, I can't find here. I did find mangoes the other day and I bought a whole bunch of them :) What are your favourite snacks?

- We're going to see Vampire Weekend in May!!! I signed up for presale tickets and the whole shebang. Dork, party of one. I'm so bloody excited, I can't stand it. Their third album is released a week before the gig so I'm going to listen to that shit on repeat, yo.

- So the other day I'm making a sample table runner for work, and I'm being all smug because it's a small project and I can bang this shit out super quick. Nope, not what happened. I got too cocky and cut the sashing wrongly. I suck.

- I'm teaching a couple of friends to quilt over the weekend (I hope by Sunday the snow won't pose a problem) and I'm really excited about it. I taught myself, so I'm never quite certain if what I'm passing on is correct. They asked if I could teach them the braided runner as their first project and I've chosen the pattern by Bari J because I liked it best. And I applaud them for choosing something a tiny bit challenging for a beginner. It's not difficult at all, but if you know nothing about quilting, all those angles could scare you pretty easily, I think!


- Later today, we're going to get a blizzard of epic proportions. It'll go on for an entire day, I think. Yay. Not. From what I gather, we're to expect between 15" and 24" of snow. That's not cool, Mother Nature. Not cool at all. I have a feeling it's going to look like the winter of 2010/11 when the snow got to be about as high as me. Which is not very high at all, but you know what I mean. Hubs had to dig a path for me lest he lose me in the mahoosive piles of snow.

Everyone who's on the east coast and will be affected by the snow storm, please stay safe. And if you don't hear from me for days, it's probably because we lost power. Holy crap please don't let us lose powerrrrrr *sigh*

We are in the midst of a terrific storm right now...I am north of Toronto. It meant NO SCHOOL and for a high school teacher that spells bliss. Hope to spend my day at the sewing machine. :)))))

I hear you on the pirate's booty (and pretty much everything else on the list)

I'm not much for snacks ~ really get in trouble with them so don't keep them in the house. I do like almonds a lot tho.
Stay safe with this storm and have lots of fun on Sunday!

Stay safe and warm, hope you don't lose power and have plenty of snacks tucked away!

Just watched the evening news and it sure sounds like you're going to get socked. I immediately thought about you! So stay warm, grab all of your quilts just in case you lose power and hopefully you'll have a ton of snacks to keep you happy!:) Good luck and stay safe!

My snacks consist of pretty much anything covered in dark chocolate. ;-)
