I went back and looked at your profile, how about getting some of those snowed capped trees ready for appliqué or the birdhouses if you found the pattern or panel you were looking for? If you're going to do the trees as a wall hanging you could also gather supplies to embellish them or do some special hand quilting. Depending on how long you will be unable to sit at the machine, I would make sure I had more than one project to work on, but also make sure I could at least get one or more done.
