And she knows me well enough now, to know of my fondness for Crunchie bars (not available here in upstate NY!.... Only in Canada you say? pity!- you have to have grown up with Red Rose tea commercials to know that phrase- though I know the bars are British, I believe)....
I just couldn't resist last night....crunch....chocolate....crunch....toffee.....
But this beauty knocked my socks off!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't this wonderful!??????????????? Thank you so much Sarah!!!! It is all ready hanging in a spot of distinction on my sewing room wall!!!! Sarah and I hope to meet soon at the Vermont Quilt Festival (anyone else gonna be there Saturday?) and when my passport finally arrives (yes, it is a requirement to get back into the US from Canada now....home is only 4 1/2 hrs away.... so silly!), I will go visit with her again!
Nature Boy's update.... last night.... shells are beginning to crack!
Crunch.... crunch.....mmmmmmmmmm......
I spotted this swirl this morning....
Isn't it pretty? It just happens to be pollen in a rain puddle at the end of our driveway which I spotted upon my return from the gym. It is possible to find beauty on a gray day!
Have a good.... crunch.... day!!!
Just in!!!! At almost 1:00 PM EST, Nature Boy took a peek and this wee chick is just entering the world!!! More to come......

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt.
Also just wanted to ask where you got your sew on labels?
thanks julie
That quilt is spectacular! Lucky you.
ReplyDeletegreat gifts, especially that name quilt for your wall. why is Crunchie your favourite chocolate bar? I don't think I have a favourite Canadian candy, but I maintain everything chocolate is good. fyi: I went to university in Ottawa (Carleton for journalism) 20 years back. paths cross and connect all over the web.
ReplyDeleteOooohhh~~such a wonderful wall quilt. Your two share more than a hometown!
ReplyDeleteYour pollen swirls remind me of batiks...so pretty.
Going to VT on the Friday but our paths will cross again right in our own backyard!
Enjoy those Crunchies....now I know what those noise was yesterday! LOL
All kinds of exciting news in your post today.......I wish our cardinal nest was positioned so I could get a clear photo of it. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteCrunchies are my favouritoo. I buy them when I'm starving while out shopping.
ReplyDeleteWow - Sarah's mini quilt is fantastic! We love crunchies here too :)

ReplyDeleteI posted my quilt to Sarah today! Let the fun begin! I can't believe you don't get Crunchies in NY, we have then her in Australia! I mailed Sarah Freddo Frogs, shhhhhh, don't tell her!
ReplyDeletei'll pretend i didn't see helen's comment (above)...la, la, la...
