It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas . . .

Oh wait, wrong month.

 Just a light dusting so far,

 But it's still coming down

So we'll see how much accumulates. 

 Dolly has asked me to remind you to check on all of your furry ones if they're outside in wintry weather.  Hypothermia happens.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

So, how are you all faring up there in the great Northeast?

This is all that's left of storm Jonas.

Accumulation was perhaps a little over an inch on Saturday with cold and plenty of wind.  Thank goodness we never lost power.

It was a good weekend for sewing.  Here's another baby quilt ready for hand stitching.

Dolly and I are sending warm thoughts to all of those affected by the snow and flooding along the coast.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Gee, isn't it nice we're having weather.

The kind which calls for staying inside, making soup, and sewing. 

Well okay, forget the soup!

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Wordless Wednesday

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

It was pretty while it lasted,

 but rain came in last night and it's all gone now.

 I'm sure the birds are happier.

 The snow gave me a good excuse to stay inside and sew.

As well as trim up a LOT of fabric.

So I think instead of 12 blocks, I'll be doing 20.  And we'll take it from there.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

This time around, a thick white blanket

I'd say 5, possibly 6 inches of new snow.

The view from my office.  For which I'm eternally grateful.  Believe me, after years of mid-city high rise office building cubicles, small city freezing metal building manufacturing company, various cheek by jowl desk arrangements for a host of companies from marketing to merchandising, and even 5 years in a hospital closet office (yes truly it was literally a closet), every single day I enjoy working from my balcony and embrace the panorama before me.

Third star is assembled.  I'm busy cutting up kits for the rest.  Lots of fabric to starch yet, but it's okay, I won't be traveling anywhere until everything melts.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Ooops, I spoke too soon . . .

The snow is back.

 I'd say 3 or 4 inches.

 It's very pretty; however . . .

I'm very glad I don't have to drive today.

 Especially since I'd rather work on these.

The third block is ready to go.  Notice how I'm mixing print scale and pattern.

I think it makes for a more interesting visual experience.  Kinda like enjoying milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and mint chocolate all from the same box.

If you're experiencing a wintry mix, please be sure to salt your steps, as well as your elderly neighbor's.  It's much easier than an ER visit.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

"Isn't it nice we're having weather."

as in, I'm not quite sure how to explain it.  First came the snow flurries that covered everything lightly all day long.

 Then blink, it mostly disappeared.  But as the sun was going down,

 Swoosh, in came a gale of snow covering everything.

 But not by very much.

 And tonight we're going down to 6 degrees.  Fahrenheit.  Brrrr

 The pellet stove has been turned up, however, it's having trouble reaching 55 degrees inside.

Good thing there are plenty of quilts to wrap up in.

Of course, Dolly has her fur coat.  But, even though this is her kind of weather, she would rather curl up behind my desk chair and snore.  

Thankfully, we did not get the ice storm that hit Tennessee and North Georgia.

Travel safe ya'll.

until then, keep stitchin' . . . .

Unlike those poor folks in Oklahoma . . .

Our snow fall barely totaled one inch.

This is good. I get to enjoy the wonderland view and Dolly gets to play in it once again.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Quiet beauty

Definitely a good day to stay inside and quilt. I'm working on a new project. LOL . . . somehow I know you're not surprised.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
