Wish I was sewing but haven't touched anything since before Christmas. I thought I would be able to get one quilted but that is not going to happen. Sitting here with my family watching tv and surfing this sight.

You are lucky to still have electricity. Any time we've had bad weather like that, we lose power. I've kept my space heaters here in the country because the electricity is iffy in bad weather.
It has been in the mid-70s here today. The bad weather missed us. It will be 20 degrees cooler tomorrow.

I've drawn off the Let Sleeping Dogs Lie pattern on EQ so I could make it an inch larger. I've picked out my fabric for my dogs, past and present. Tomorrow I'll cut it and start to sew.

Oh I miss living in Minnesota. We have a farm at Cook. I used to love taking the snowmobile to town because the roads were closed. It was only 3 miles but fun for me sonce I was a kid.

I've been off work for a week and have started a quilt for our bed out of flannel and doing a little fabric organizing.

I will clean up the pre-Christmas catastrophe that hit my sewing room. It's called "last minute gifts to be mailed in time". It's coldoutside, plenty of snow but so pretty. People have made snow and ice lanters with candles burning inside. After cleaning up my room (call a demolition unit? Dynamite perhaps?Or just a good scream?) I'll start planning for EASTER!!! My sister called from up north last night and asked for two dozen pot holders, easter themed. I made that amount for Cristmas and they were a success with her teacher collegues, Now we're early to avoid the inevitable panic, I can't even find my Panic Button, so I must get organized.Sorry for the long rambling, anything to put off cleaning! Happy New Year from Santa country!

I'm gathering together all my bits & pieces to make a piano key edging in bright colors for around a drab bear panel for a baby quilt. The whole panel is browns & boring, so I'm going to border it with eye catchers for DGGS due the end of January.
