We're at 15 degrees, heading towards a high of 38.

And on Saturday we're to reach 61.

However, I don't care what the weatherman says, I'm keeping the flannel quilts out just in case. 

Until then, keep stitchin' . . . 

When the wind chill is -1 at 6 in the morning . . .

it's best to stay inside until the sun comes up.

I'm having trouble getting the house warmed up today.  The thermostat does not want to go above 50.  So it's a good day to light the oven and bake some chocolate chip cookies.

Hot cocoa, warm cookies, warmer quilt.  We know how to beat these temps don't we!

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Battening down the hatches!

Most quilters would be preparing hand piecing projects in the event of severely inclement weather.

 I, however, chose to clean and move bunny condos.  All 5 of them.

With predicted lows in the single digits this week, I had to find a way to keep the water from freezing so quickly.  Tarps were secured along the front and side of the porch, in the hopes to dispel some of the wind, snow, and rain.

 And I finished in the nick of time.

 At 22 degrees, it's pretty chilly out there folks.  

I sincerely hope all of those in similar conditions, remember to store plenty of water for both yourselves and the furry ones.

It's nice to be able to sit back and enjoy the view when all provisions are at hand in the event of power outage.

And when you can, please remember to sweep and salt your elderly neighbor's porch and steps.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Silent Sunday

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

With the wind chill, we're at 7 degrees this morning.

 But thank goodness, we only got a light dusting of snow.  The bunny's water was frozen solid this morning and even Dolly did not want to stay out for more than 2 minutes.

To all of you in the New England states, do stay safe.  You guys have a lot more snow and much, much colder temperatures.

Let me introduce you to Rachel, she is the shy one.

I can share this picture now, as this Christmas present arrived safely at the house of a very dear friend.  I hope it brightens not only her day, but the next few weeks of dreary winter.

Last but not least, the babies, growing by leaps and bounds.  Esther and Emma will be going off to a happy new home very soon.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
