UGH!!!! Just back from Hawaii and now I hear were are going to have freezing rain and snow.  Where's the plane, I'm on my way back.

 Ok, we just got back from Kauai, Hawaii.  You'd never guess that I like the flowers there.

So many different hibiscus..es  hibiscus..i.  I don't know how to plural the word.  But I liked every one of them.  

Then there were more.

 And more.....

Ooops!  A tiare slipped in there.  They smell Sooo good.

 Another tiare

 Then there are plumeria

And finally, one last hibicus.

Thursdays at the quilt shop.  But this Thursday no one is getting much done.  They are visiting and that's great.  It's the holiday season!

Happy Holidays to everyone.  My friend made this wreath for me for Christmas.She's sooo talented.  Our group meets every November and she made a wreath for us all, one had yarn bowls and a hand knitted washcloth (way to pretty to use) and the other did emergency kits with lip soother, tissues, etc.  They are so much fun to be with!  We always say we are going to meet more than once a year but it doesn't seem to happen.  We all grew up together in Gardner, Ks. and formed lasting friendships. 

   Now that I look at the picture, I think I have the wreath hanging sideways.  Guess I need to change it.

We had a wonderful weekend at the Elk Falls Pottery Open House and a trip the Pawhuska to the new Mercantile of Ree Drummond's aka Pioneer Woman.

The is the first selfie I've been in...didn't turn out too bad and I think Sharon's phone is still working. So all is good.

We shopped, sewed and visited the whole weekend away.  Don't know what I ever did to deserve such great friends.

Here is our lovely demonstrator, Jane.  She demo-ed in my booth at market.

As you can see by mid day, there is no one in the aisles.  Don't know how the Market can attract more buyers. But they are needed.

We all had a good time.  Ate at some fantastic places.  Mannie's Seafood has great seafood at good prices and is easy to get to.  At Hickory Hollow, Kevin had a chicken fried steak about the size of a platter.

On the way home, we went to Moda fabrics warehouse and Amy now has a plan and fabric for her 2017 Block of the Month.

First day at wholesale market in Houston.  This is a picture of some of the booths from the second story of the George R. Brown Convention center.   It's about 3 blocks long, 1 block deep and three stories high.  It's pretty overwhelming for a buyer to try to sort out what they need in their shop.

All the Overbrook Quilt Connection crew went to the Moda party after close this evening.  A wonderful meal and then entertainment.... Texas style dancing and a mechanical bull.  Amy tried to get me to ride the bull but I had on a straight skirted dress.  It would have been quite the show just trying to get onto the thing with that dress.

Back to the show tomorrow from 9 to 6.  We try to get in there a little earlier so I can see some of the other booths.  The bad part of having a booth there is I'm stuck in it most of the day and miss a lot of the show.
