three cheers on tuesday!

CHEER NUMBER ONE
after several permutations, i am done and happy with this bag.
my own pattern...
made from recycled denim jeans and a lovely echino fabric.
a peek at pockets and key fob inside.
i bought this button at a quilt show,
years ago, knowing that i would 
find a use for it someday.

CHEER NUMBER TWO
Today, International Women's Day is 100 years old! Hooray for our sisterhood, all over the planet!  And congratulations to our friend, Juana, who became "Abuelita Juanita" yesterday, when her daughter, Katherine safely delivered "Charlotte Rose".

Here's a cheeky take on the day, which I read on a sign years ago, 
Women who seek to be equal to men lack ambition.
;-)

CHEER NUMBER THREE
Despite the mountains of snow that still haunt our yard,
and all the crazy flooding we have in SW CT,
I know spring is on its way, because I went outside today and 
smelled spring.
Skunk cabbage.

What are you cheering about today?

    The sandhill cranes have made a first pass heading north, and saw a group of migrating cedar waxwings on my a.m. walk. Happy 100th to one of my favorite women!
