Winter Storm AGAIN

How many winter storms can Oklahoma have in a week? Too Many.
Yes we are in the midst again of another storm. Our quilters make use of every hour that the roads are passable. After being snowbound for a few days, everyone was out Sunday for our Cabin Fever sale. The gals at the Elite Retreat came over Sunday afternoon also. That was a great place to watch the snow while quilting, that is for those that could get there.
Then Monday morning, the roads were clear enough that the First Monday Strippers could meet here and we were treated with a visit from a Norman Transcript Style journalist, complete with photographer. Lots of stories were going on. so watch for their story in an upcoming article in March.

Opening the Store

It is 5 minutes before the store should open on Thursday, Feb 5. Tom and the tractor will get enough snow cleared to open the store after two days of being snow bound. This is the first time we have been unable to open the store on time, but I think all the snow from I-35 drifted onto our driveways. We just had to wait our turn for the snow plows to get to us. Only the Tee St entrance on the north side of the store is open today. Tom is clearing the sidewalk and I am warm inside the store. Don't you just love all our windows in the store?

I am planning to have a Cabin Fever sale this Sunday, so watch your e-mail for the announcement.

Snow Days Still

Tom tried to open the shop this morning. Did not happen. The parking lot is impassable, so until we can get it plowed (or nature helps us out), we will be unable to open. Stay home and stay safe, he has a four wheel drive truck and said otherwise he would not have been able to drive our Norman streets. Doesn't bitter cold weather outside makes our indoor quilting that much more enjoyable? I found my old pair of glasses, so today's piecing of the shop hop blocks should go a little faster. This may be the first year I have made all the blocks myself, just another "bonus" of snow days.

Snow Days

Guess you thought nothing to get me to start again with this blog? Guess being stranded from the shop by this snow will do it.
I was prepared, after hearing that businesses were encouraged to close, I brought home tons of paperwork and even blocks to make for next summer's shop hop. We did get enough snow and cold to not try to open the shop. But not much work done here at home because my glasses broke.
The shop hop blocks are getting made just slowly, because my glasses have only the left lens. The paperwork will just have to wait.
We hope to venture in tomorrow to see if we can get through the parking lot to open the store. Will let you know.
