Tufted Tweets Winner

I meant to post the name of the Tufted Tweets pincushion winner earlier.  And this is my reason for not having done it yet.

Some of you may know that we are part of an owner group of Lakeview Cottages, rental cabins at Huntington Lake, which is 7,000 feet elevation. We have had freaky weather this spring, snow, snow and more snow. Our first guests should have been checking in yesterday. But we have not been able to get to the cabins to open them up. Oh, and we have no water yet. This is what it looked like at Lakeview Cottages yesterday. And remember it is JUNE!

The road leading up to our driveway:

The only way you had a chance of getting up the driveway was with four-wheel drive. Mark, who grew up in Minnesota, was able to get up the driveway in our 4-wheel-drive Pilot (and had a good time doing it, I might add...). And he had brought a sled along. Wondering why someone who lives in the central valley of California even owns a sled? Because it always pays to be prepared. "Our" cabin, the one we use in the off-season when we are opening or closing up for the season, is in the shade during much of the day. So this is how Mark get our icechest to Cabin G.

A view around our cottages:

This is our lakefront. This is where there should be boat docks and our "fleet" tied up and ready for the water.

So the guys spent most of the day scooping snow. It was actually t-shirt weather so by the afternoon the snow was doing some nice melting. The snow had been scooped away from the driveway, but then it turned to mud.

So it was still hard to make it up the driveway:



And the point of all this? I'm just now getting around to posting the winner of the Tufted Tweets giveaway.

Soooo...without further ado, the winner is lucky Number 13, Sooz, who said:

I'm so glad I found your blog thru Laurie's post/giveaway link. Lovely! I'm a big fan of hers, as well, and now of you! Best.
