Snow and a quilt

So this week was an interesting one to say the least. Car was in the shop until Thursday only to have to return Friday to be fixed again. But it is finally fixed yay! This made for a week of car pooling. Not a bad thing except for Thursday when the snow hit.Now for those of you who don't know, snow is a 4 letter dirty word here in certain parts of East Tennessee. It means that you must go to the nearest grocery store immediately to buy eggs, milk, and bread (all of which are pretty much perishable if the power goes out - smart huh). 9 out of 10 times the snow never comes. This time it actually did. We got 3-6 inches in my area! That's a lot lol. So thanks to my car being under the weather I have been carpooling as mentioned earlier. Now, the snow made this interesting because the day the snow came, my ride was not able to come get me at work. I had to walk 5 blocks in the snow to meet my ride. Talk about a cardio and breathing workout :). But there was no way I was staying at work overnight. By the next day it was already melting which is normal here. We haven't had a good snow / storm in YEARS. Little one had his first snow experience - was not a fan this time around. Next time it snows he should be old enough to enjoy it.

Work this week was much better than last week as I have almost gotten everything caught back up. Got the dirty job of archiving done with the help of a co-worker. Only took 5.5 hours and I no longer have any space in my office to move from all the boxes but I now have shelf space again :). Only 6 months until I have to do it again.

So this week, I don't have a recipe to post. This week I am posting a quilt that I have done. This one was my first ever quilt I did several years ago when i was in high school. Found the pattern in a book from the library. It is a pinwheel design and the colors are my high school colors.
