I have some more tweaking to do, but I’m tackling my to-do list(!) and instead of just thinking about working on the new look for my website, I’ve actually gotten a lot of it done.
New look

Remodeling
I’m going to try to do some stuff to the website design today, so don’t be surprised if you come to visit and it looks a little messy.
Whoops
I fixed it nice and quick, but I accidentally did something stupid. Imagine that. I was trying COPY files and instead I MOVED them. Luckily it was quick and easy to move them back and nothing is permanently messed up.
Thanks for following me. I knew you would. I hoped you would.
The blog theme is going to be changing, this light-colored theme was just the easiest thing for me to do last night. The whole look and layout is going to be changing, just as soon as I figure out how to make it do what I want it to do. I have something pretty specific in mind, but I’m still working on the details of how to implement.
Last night’s idea to offer a QUILT was a spur of the moment kind of thing. Yeah, sure, a quilt, that sounds like a good idea.
I wasn’t sure WHAT quilt, but then I decided to channel Scarlett** and moved on to something else. In the light of day, I’m wondering a bit where my brain was, but I’m still committed to offering a quilt.
I started thinking about projects that are in progress, and had this vision of a top (at least I thought it was finished to the quilt top stage…) only I couldn’t find it. It wasn’t in my sort of neatened up sewing room.
That’s the trouble with having some stuff here and some stuff at the shop. Thank goodness the shop is only 2 minutes away. And the unfinished project was at the shop, only it wasn’t as finished as I thought it was, because, as I now recall having seen it, I’m not sure WHAT to do to finish it. Nothing at the shop or in my stash will suffice. Phooey.
So, Plan B. Look for something else in-progress. (And here she starts channeling Goldilocks, too small, too big, too complicated…)
Or Plan C. Start something new.
Cause you know I don’t have anything else going on.
So, Plan D for now is to leave it as a to-be-determined quilt of my choosing, and maybe while I’m not watching the Superbowl later I’ll come up with some great idea.
Haven’t signed up yet for your chance to win this amorphous prize? See my previous post.
And thank you. Thank you all for being my friends. I make myself laugh, and it makes me feel better to know that you are laughing with me.
You are laughing with me, right?
Not at me?

**If you didn’t get the Scarlett reference, I don’t want to know about it.
Housewarming party
Thanks for putting up with me and following me to this new site.
If you click on the POSTS link, right above my picture (gee, it looks like I’m looking at those links up there in the corner)… you can subscribe to my new blog in your favorite blog reader. (I like Google Reader, myself.)
And in your free time, if you could update your blogroll or link directory, I would really appreciate it.
And then, you can post a comment, and I’ll enter you in a drawing for a quilt (style, size, design to be determined). And maybe you could tell your friends, too?
I know you are probably shaking your head, wondering what on Earth that Suzanne is up to now. It will be come clearer eventually, just know that there is a method to my madness.
Really. There is.

Cold toes
I ran home to deal with lunch, and my toes haven’t warmed up yet from the excursion.
The boys came home from school yesterday absolutely convinced that they would have today off. A winter storm was bearing down on us, and it looked to be a doozy.
They weren’t wrong: school is closed today. Thankfully, though, we didn’t get pounded as much as we could have. It started with a layer of ice, and ended with a dusting of snow. And wind — lots of wind, blowing that snow around.
I don’t envy the people that have to make decisions about schooling closings or delays. No matter what a superintendent decides, someone will likely disagree. Last year we ended up with more than 20 days of delays/early dismissals/closures. We had a late start last week, but this is the first day off.
Today’s snow day points out a flaw in this whole move-the-business-out-of-the-house-thing:
I have to actually LEAVE the house and venture out into the cold. Meaning a new level of complaints that you might hear from me as the winter grinds on. And it’s not even technically winter yet!
You wouldn’t know it from my postings of late, but I have actually been quilting and knitting. I haven’t posted about much of it, though, because most of the quilting has been for customers (and has either been super simple and not really worthy of posting or has been of items that I shouldn’t share because they are for gifts).
I did actually take a picture of a quilt yesterday, and am working on a tutorial based on said quilt. I’m going to make you go somewhere else to see it, though, because I’m in the process of mentally restructuring my usage of my blogs.
For quilting and knitting projects, I’m going to start posting at the shop blog:
http://www.knotsandbolts.com/blog
This blog will remain here at this location for the time being, but will be more of the everything-else-besides-quilting-and-knitting type posts.
At least, that’s my plan. I hope you’ll go over there and take a look and add that blog to your blog reader. If you are only here for the fiber-related postings, you can go over there and not have to read about my kids or the weather.
Though, I can’t promise I won’t occasionally mention the weather over there.
I joked about it the other day, but I really am thinking about renaming this blog. Any suggestions?
I think my toes have finally warmed back up after venturing out for lunch, so I’d best get to work!
