Default Not quilting related, but OK anyway.

This is what I have been dealing with for the last week. Got myself a bad case of cabin fever. Ready for a road trip to "W-A-R-M" anywhere. Back to the quilting efforts today maybe. The yards and driveways are still too sticky to try to do much getting out.

It is funny how we dream about having nothing to do but work on our quilts. With the weather we have been having almost everywhere we are getting that opportunity. It is kind of like the child who dreams of having nothing else to eat but candy and ice cream. The reality gets "old" very fast. I make a lot of Linus quilts but I am running out of room to store the finished ones. I just hope I can take my stash to the sorting this coming Monday. That is where they are divided up by size etc. bagged and labeled to be delivered to the various hospitals and other institutions that use them every month. I also feel guilty about grabbing up the fabric deals at my local JoAnns as I am running out of space to store them. I can only hope that a real spring starts arriving soon.

We are more used to this weather in Upstate NY than you are in Tenn. Yesterdays temp was 33 degrees and it was the first time we were above freezing in three weeks. Today is back down to current temp of 9.
Still, I would also love a week or two somewhere warm.
Anybody out there in CA, AZ or FL who would like some frozen quilters to come visit. (I'm trying oldtnquiltinglady).

I wish I had some sympathy to spread around but I am too overwhelmed with feeling sorry for myself. From snowed in upstate New York.

Come on, GaGaSmith, we were in the middle 80"s last week but now it's turned "cold" again. This week we have dropped to middle 70's. LOL!

Out here in So CA, we were in the 80s for weeks but now we got some rain last night. Sometimes I find the weather very boring out here. But it snowed unexpectedly the last day of 2014. We got snow which is so unusually which was suppose to drop in Las Vegas. I didn't go out for days because I had no WARM clothing!

Oh I can certainly relate to how you feel - I live in the Adirondack Mountains in New York State. I have approx. 4ft of snow in my yard today and not much hope of seeing the grass again till the end of April. It drops to below zero most every night but I know that soon the Robins will be in the yard and I will be able to sit on the porch and have coffee. Keep your chin up - it wont be long .

Sorry! I am so glad it's not like that here. I live in Oregon and it's 51 and sunny here.
