You&#...First off, all the quilts are quite lovely! You're group does some really beautiful work! I love the little doll clothes too! I think I'm going to try my hand at making some dolls. Not baby dolls but boudoir type dolls.<br /><br />I love trees and the tree in this post is absolutely gorgeous--both pictures of it! What kind of tree is it? I must tell you, however, that I have never heard of hoar frost. I’m thinking that in Texas hoar frost might be a loose girl out on the streets on a freezing cold night but what do I know! My deeply technical term for the hoar frost would have been “ice,” probably because we don’t get a lot of super freezing weather although it is 21 degrees outside right now! Wouldn’t that be considered a heatwave in Minnesota? Anyway, Texas doesn’t give me enough whipping winter weather to get the opportunity to learn fancy smancy weather terminology but I plan on learning from you so keep it coming! <br /><br />To answer your question--how many homes across America had people and dogs on couches watching football on Thanksgiving day? I can’t speak for the rest of the country but I’ll say 2. Your house and mine! Oh, but I’ve got to tell you girl, I LOVE football (and the Dallas Cowboys) but I love to watch all NFL games actually. On Sundays, you can always find me perched on the couch watching football with a pot of something good simmering on the stove. It’s my favorite time of the year! <br /><br />I would have no objections to putting a quilting show on TV but on another channel. I would have to record it to watch later though. Now if the quilt show features quilters on a football field throwing and catching giant bolts of batik fabric, and darting down the field to a giant cutting table in the end zone while being chased by other quilters who want to tackle them and/or cause a fumble so they can get that bolt of fabric for themselves, then I’d record the football game and watch the quilt show!<br /><br />As for the players uniforms, I agree that they are soooo yesterday, especially on the days they wear the retro uniforms but I must tell you that I was shocked at your allegation that they are wearing padded shoulders! I was under the impression that those huge camel-like bumps were their actual shoulders, and a physical requirement to make the team! Who knew! Oh yeah--you did!<br /><br />I do think that the football pants with knee socks may have been stolen from baseball, or at the very least, that’s where they got the idea for it. I don’t understand why their uniforms are polyester either. They should consider wool coveralls, especially up in your neck of the woods. <br /><br />The reason they tuck a towel in their waistband is in case they run into a giant plate of barbecue ribs in the middle of the field. That towel comes in handy to wipe the ole face off! <br /><br />Last but not least are the helmets--if you ask me (and I am aware that nobody asked but I’m going to tell you anyway) the helmets aren’t necessary. All they need is a good helmet-head hairspray! You know--the kind of hairspray that won’t let one little hair budge even an 1/8 of an inch in 170 mile an hour winds! They would certainly look much more presentable, and it would be much better head protection too!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985619031226276443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434550815464835621.post-62224859645061859022010-12-22T23:20:53.403-06:002010-12-22T23:20:53.403-06:00I wrote a brilliant comment a week or so ago, and ...I wrote a brilliant comment a week or so ago, and then when I pushed go, it disappeared and I was so bummed I threw up my hands and said phooey! But after I wrote last time and said I was missing your humor and lovely pictures, I decided I should let you know how much I enjoyed this post! Too funny about the football uniforms (!!) and the pictures of the quilts are inspiring. Good to hear from you! :-)<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814824232124376605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434550815464835621.post-33920584263457774582010-12-18T21:45:10.384-06:002010-12-18T21:45:10.384-06:00OMG lady you never stop making me giggle...My mom ...OMG lady you never stop making me giggle...My mom was the QUEEN of the shoulder pad...it was really bad there for a while...I think she still sneaks them once and a while..but wow...lol<br />I also think my ass just grew three sizes just reading that 'awful' recipe!!! it sounds just wonderful!<br />I am finally finding my way around blogland...life is just insane here lately and I barely get online at all anymore...I do miss it...<br />just wanted to pop in quick and wish the funniest lady in blogland...a very merry Christmas!<br />Happy Holidays friend!Tootsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313167135644565141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434550815464835621.post-40278767086746301792010-12-18T07:15:12.282-06:002010-12-18T07:15:12.282-06:00Great pics....the snow looks so pretty.....a white...Great pics....the snow looks so pretty.....a white Christmas is on my bucket list....one day!!
