Another Heart Shirt!!!!

I had these sweatshirts cut and ready to be trimmed out years ago and FINALLY go to them!!!  This , of course started out as a black sweatshirt, I didn't cut any of the bands off just cut it down the front, surged and top-stitched down.  Then I found my bags of old lace and trims and went to town!!!  Last November when visiting Ben and  Melissa their neighbor Nellie Jo gave me these darling heart shaped crocheted pieces and other shapes, I appliqued them on the sweatshirt and then used buttons, pearls and other trims to finish it up.  I think it came up kind of cute!!!  You could do all kinds of thing to these shirts,  I considered using lace as a stencil and paintings  the whole jacket and them appliqueing over that, but time ran out and I want to start wearing these guys on Tuesday!!!


Thursday night Taryn , Brittany and I went to the Melting Pot, it was restaurant week here in Madison so the locally owned ones were having specials!!!  The Melting Pot features  fondue  and it was really great!!!  They have this nifty flat burner in the middle of the table and we started off with a cheese, spinach and artichoke fondue, they served that with apples, bread, chips and veggies very good!!!  We each had a different salad, they had several choices, all were delish.  The meats were beef, chicken and white shrimp,the broth we chose was Mojo, Caribbean spices,garlic and citrus yummo!! plus veggies that included mushrooms, brocolli and red potatoes.  The dessert was really spectacular, we chose the Ying and Yang dark chocolate and white chocolate in the Ying and Yang shape very clever!!!  Then we had bananas, strawberries, rice krispie treats, marshmallows, pound cake, cheese cake and brownies!!!  It was a whole meal.  I was really impressed and would go again in a heart beat!!!!

Yesterday Dave had the day off and we spent the whole day running around, we started with an early movie, It's Complicated,  we found it quite funny but of course it's our age group so we had a good laugh.  Then we headed to Waunakee for Dough Boys pizza, our friends Bob and Jo got us onto their Buffalo Chicken pizza, the best!!!  We lucked, out as a group of High School boys arrived and ordered the Buffalo Chix pizza and I was worried we wouldn't get any but they put it in last and the kids had to go back to class, had the whole pizza to ourselves, no din din for me!!!!  Then we toddled over to St.Vinnies and we got some finds, pants were 2 for 1 so I got some great jeans and yoga pants, they'll never see yoga but they sure are comfy!!!!  Dave got 4 new shirts so we're stylin'!!!
Then we headed home and packed up our dogs for a walk in the cold and hit a few more stores and the grocery and home to hang out, cold again!!!  I sure hope this 0 and minus is about over.  We're heading back to the 20's this next week.  Livable!!!

Ben and Mellisa just called they are in St Louis and leaving early tomorrow for the honeymoon in Mexico, they will have a wonderful week!!!!

Happy Valentines Day to all!!!
