Barb be thankful you're not there!!!! We can have big snow dumps but I don't remember this bad!
So Edna and I are over at Sylvia's for a visit with finger foods and to watch the Grey Cup!!!
GOOOOOO BOMBERS GOOOOOOO!!!!
(No I'm not into football but Sylvia enticed me with potluck food and a night off from tatting!)

Nifty putting the snow like base down first!
Here's one your parents may remember Barb?
Okay I give up trying to find my disappeared post!!!! It was a good see sawing just about nail biting football game but Winnipeg lost in the end! So sad they lost the 3-peat chance as that would have been an awesome achievement!!!
Today Pat invited the 3 mouseketeers for hamburger soup lunch (each got leftovers too) then the 4 of us checked out Marshall's with our 20% off coupons and then Sew Embroidery for some spray basting for all the projects we do! Then went to Tim's for coffee only to realize I left my wallet behind. So got the girls settled and I drove back (thankfully maybe a mile and wasnt stopped either way) for it and still my coffee was too hot to enjoy so took it to go! Yes we all found something and majority eligible for the discount. Awesome day shopping and weather wise too!

Now this is something! Not really for our winter climate though!
Today I brought my Safeway garden salad and Edna fried hamburger patties for lunch plus vinetarte. This morning I finished off the free motion quilting on one table topper and after lunch using the walking foot did the piddly stars in the corners of the other topper. Now it's back to Edna quilting and me back to my tatting angels. We'll get this one squared off and binding sewn on then I'll take it home and do the hand stitching to finish it off for her. This way both presents will be done before her surgery on the 30th! YEAH!!!
WOW!!!
I totally LOVE this idea, even for outside!
Doable for sure!!!!

Well I've completed the tatting with various beads of angel for Maija and hopefully assembled by Wednesday for her. The 6 on the right are silver lined clear beads, 3 in the middle are iridescent clear beads and the 3 on the left are clear beads.
Pattern by Wiki.
Well I wanted to check this out as Aunt Monica's Attic was going to be there but OMGG talk about a mass of people!!! I'm glad I wore my mask and half there did too! But it took a few minutes to see the free drink sampling tickets were more the draw there. So after a quick check for something interesting, I left after one small sampling which I didn't finish.
So as I was leaving the Casino, the Lucky Leprechaun machine lured me in! Well I had $5 to play with and minimum $0.40 bet, and talk about crazy, I kept getting free spins and after the last of the 30 free games I had $34.70 and promptly cashed out and left! WOW!!!

The afternoon was shopping with Sylvia at Mook's 20% off sale then coffee/muffins at her place. Then I finished off with Cdn Tire.
YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!
In between my own stuff, helping Edna, shopping and craft sales I did finish off more angels. They are kinda similar and kinda different! 🥴 I played with different necks, heads and halos, so hope those Maija gifts, like them! 🥰 Also Sylvia said they are dancing and Edna said they are flying around in this picture! They make me happy saying so!
Next on my plate is hand stitching Edna's table topper tonight, then another day finding and prepping my poppy fabrics for hot mats! I've a sewing day Dec 3rd at Keystone so have a few projects on the go to finish off!

Today Sylvia and I checked out the Winnipeg Embroiderer's Guild, Piece it Together Quilts Bethel Mennonite Church and Chriskindlmarkt craft sales - lots of lovely items a few bought, with a quick visit at ArtsJunktion and Cre8ery Gallery with a yummy lunch at the Capital Bar and Grill.
Tomorrow hopefully check out this craft sale and maybe some Ukrainian decorations? Will see!

So strikingly simple but very effective!
I had a lovely visit early afternoon with Sylvia and Dianne at the Ukrainian craft sale, but didn't see you Barb, sorry to have missed you. It was lovely and I did find some items for myself plus a dozen perogies.
I'm not sure of the exact translation of the ornament, but I think it's 'Good Evening to you from Ukraine', the Snowflake mask is double layer linen and was a steal in my opinion! I love the recycled bag I bought at the door, great idea and carried my purchases in!!! Naturally I 💗💗💗 the earrings and ornaments and will not be using the braided bookmark unless I put it into a plastic sleeve to protect it.
Girls supper out at Maximes! Good vibes for Edna!!! Our foods arrived!!!!
Yes it is still open 20 plus years late. The parents retired years ago and the sons and daughters took over. The sons sold their shares to the 2 daughters and moved east to Montreal I think. The daughter I talked to said yes it's still the same family business and the place is still well looked after. 👌❤️
Ohhhh WOW!!! For years Edna and I used to search for a piece of apple in our Tim's apple fritter. Then within the last year we noticed a few pieces inside each! WELL today I'm wondering if I have the whole batch of apple pieces in MY own fritter??? Yummy!!!
