We are in the 'dead of Winter' here in South Dakota~ frankly it bites~eerrmmmm~ I mean the cold bites your nose! I have been avoiding any outdoor exposure at all~ even running errands. Last week the avoidance had to come to an end. So I warmed up my car~ turned the seat warmers to high and off I went. I had a list, a plan of attack and a mission. At 6* the mission was to be back home as quickly as possible. But alas~ a distraction! There was one of my favorite antique stores with a parking spot right smack dab in front of it~ a quarter in the meter and I got to shop for 22 minutes. A temptation to good to resist. Well worth it~there waiting for me was this gorgeous needlepoint. Magnolia blossoms~ I have never seen Magnolia Blossoms up close and personal so this needlepoint will have to do for now. By the way~ it is snowing again today and I am very sure there is no hope for the groundhog tomorrow~ not only would he have to dig out of his burrow but he would have to dig through 12 inches of snow cover to even take a chance to see his shadow~or not. Oh well~ 6 weeks is just 6 weeks ~ right?

Hi Sharon,
Love the needlepoint. I have never seen a real magnilia blossom either. And I was telling myself the same thing yesterday about winter. Just 6 weeks. We can do it.
