Saturday was a busy day here.  We received notice that our furniture we ordered in Clare had arrived so we had to get Leo to help us transport it since he is the only family member with a truck.  It is a pretty handy thing to have someone in the family with a truck.  We drove down early on Saturday and met Leo in Clare.  We loaded up the furniture and headed home.  I rode with Leo so we had a nice long time to catch up.  All is well with him but he is having a bit of a mud problem at his new house.  Since the house went in in the Fall/Winter, he didn't get a chance to do any landscaping.  He needs to wait until the frost goes out and then work on his yard.  The good news is that it is good soil and he has a tractor so it should just be a project for him to work on.  

 We backed that truck right up to the door.

 This is the piece that we kind of had 'made to order' so no assembly was required.  It is going on the end of our living room to hold things and balance that wall.

 The guys brought it in.

 Set it up in its place.  We will have to work on different pictures to hang on the wall but it fit perfectly in the spot.

 Then we rested while Bud did the assembly of the tables.

 We have a small side table that goes beside one of the chairs.

 It is a perfect fit.

 Then the coffee table needed its legs put on.

 We spent a lot of time looking for a table that would be big enough to fit in the middle of our furniture arrangement.  This table is about 42" square. It looks very nice.

 Later in the day Bud put the shelves in our 'sideboard' piece.  We like how it looks.
After a short visit and lunch, Leo headed home to watch NCAA basketball.  It was good to see him.  He has a new haircut and all his cute curls are gone.

 I have been working on this quilt for the daughter of a friend.  She asked me to make a quilt for a twin bed.  My deal on things like this is: If you buy the material and pay for the quilting, I will make it for you. I love having projects to work on and this one is going to look very pretty on her bed.  The picture above is of the back of the quilt.  I had a few extra blocks so I decided to put this little design in the middle of the back.

This was a fun quilt to make.  I'm not sure I will make it again though.  There were a lot of little points to match.  I am sure that this will look great on a little girl's bed and look nice as she grows up.

SO....  That is what we have been doing.  Both Bud and I seem to have caught a cold so we are both recovering.
Spring has arrived on the calendar but not in the air.  We are still having below zero nighttime temps and the snow is melting SLOWLY.  We hope that we don't get much more but know another snowstorm is probably in our future.
