cookies and lemonade...don't let it fool you.

The kids were off school yesterday due to the snow and road conditions.
I had my usual day off.
I know. I am lucky.
So what does one do with a 2 and 8 year old ALL day?
We made cookies.
Chocolate chip cookies.
And we ate them above my newest quilt finish. It's a pattern by Me and My Sister from their fabric Strawberry Lemonade.  I have had the top done F-O-R- E-V-E-R. Okay atleast a year. Finally had it quilted so that it wouldn't rot waiting for me to quilt it.
 I ♥ this little quilt, it's so summery.

So my picture looks all summery and pretty. 

Don't let that fool you.

This is REALLY the view from my window.
more snow.
go away snow.
that's all I have to say.

I think making cookies is the perfect thing to do on a day off. And they look right at home on the quilt. I am with you, go away snow!

Love the quilt! Can you even believe all this snow we're getting? The solo and ensemble contest Emily was to be in is even canceled today. She's so disappointed. Snow, snow go away!! LOL

That quilt is very summery! I have a jelly roll from the same line but I have done nothing with it yet. I probably should. The cookies look delish!

I have had enough snow and the schools in our area have missed so many days. But cookie making with the kids is so much fun!

That quilt sure does evoke thoughts of summer - very nice. I'd rather look at that than the view out your window - or the view out mine!
