I am in Tacoma after spending the last four hours setting up my booth at the Sew Expo show. We had to unload the car in oouring rain and on the way here we went through a major sleet/rain/hail/snow shower. It was very difficult to see the road! Now, Andrea calls and says that it is snowing in Port Townsend! Argh ... I am jealous! Don't get me wrong though ... I do NOT want it to snow or ice here as I need to leave the hotel by 7am to get to the show. It opens to the public at 8:30 am! Sheesh ... these people who sew are early risers. Wish me luck, that it is busy and that we have fun and that I do not spend too much!

I had to go into the shop tonight on this dreary cold, drizzly night to pick out more merchandise to take to my show this weekend. It is always a challenge to figure out what I should take. Will this sell? Do they want that? Anyhow, after spending over an hour doing all this; on the way home on the bluffs along Water Street, I thought I saw a white plastic bag fly up into a small tree perched precariously midway down the bluff. But when I looked into that tree; it was a white owl! How amazing was that? I was and still remain very excited. It must be a good omen! Wish I had a photo to share but I am so pleased I saw it!

Right now it is just pouring outside and it is getting late so off to bed with me and a lovely new people magazine! G'night!

Saw this on another blog and I really like it!

This is a test to see if my thoughts get to the Diva blog.

Okay, I am a sucker for cute cat pictures and I make no apologies. These are pictures of a kitten, now a cat that is simply too big for the basket he dumped off the shelf in my studio. It was full of gallon ziplocks and other bags. After Milagro decided he really wouldn't fit into the basket; he proceeded to drag ziplock bags all over the studio. Tomorrow we shall return to Tucson!

Tucson Friends!

Here are pictures of Steve, Diane and their neice Carmen from Tucson. I really enjoy their company and this year even Phil was able to have dinner with us at Steve's house and the evening was so much fun, we did not want it to end. This is also Diane and Carmen shopping at my table. Carmen is quite the artist and next year I am going to spend extra time in Tucson so we can have a craft/art day! Off to the shop now! Lois

Yippee! I have some of my charms included in this magazine, one of my favorites, on page 11. Gee, eleven is even my favorite number. Anyhow, it has my large heart resin frame, a double link heart and my peace, love, joy, faith, play heart. I love a sideways " V ". Beautiful day here today, all sunny, warm, bright and filled with a longing for spring. Seems like I am the only one around my building that has NOT planted primroses yet! I better get on it! xo, Lois
