Like Bilbo, on Sunday we set off for a Grand Adventure!

 To a mountain top farm in Waynesville.

There were a lot of beautiful furry four-footers.

 With a lot of personality.

 Not to mention curiosity, as they came very close to the camera.

This is a ZeeDonk.  Yes indeed, something out of Dr. Seuss to be sure.  But a lovely fella all the same. 

The farm will even have it's own Stone Henge.

Esther and Emma will have a lovely life in their new abode.  And you could say, I'm a bit envious.  All of those beautiful windswept vistas and new furry friends.

Thank you Kim and Martin for giving them such a good home.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Just for fun.

This little doll quilt will be going in my Etsy shop also, just as soon as I can figure out how to link it in properly.  So stay tuned, more goodies to come.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

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' . . .
