This week has been quiet. I have been working on my polka dot quilt. I finished all the paper I had printed and left the last group at home. That is what packing at midnight the night before we leave will get you. I think when it is done, I am going to be seeing big dots everywhere. There are almost 900 pieces to it and it only has 9 squares. Some of those pieces finish at .5 inches by 2 inches...quite small. The pattern is similar to a New York Beauty. Tomorrow, I have to decide which unfinished project I want to do next. Decisions...decisions.
The weather has been really cool and nice for me. It snowed about an inch and a half on Monday night and the wind chill factor was -10degrees. It was actually about 16 degrees with a 35 mph wind. I loved it and Bill was shivering. It is amazing how we have switched places in the temperature department. It was beautiful the next morning with the sun shining on the snow. It looked like it had little diamonds in it. The last couple of mornings have been really cool, but it has been nice in the afternoon. Today, it got up to 56....practically a heatwave. I thought about taking my kindle out on the deck to read...but decided to sew instead. Here is the truck with snow.
Bella has turned into a traitor with Bill. He fussed so much about getting her and now they have bonded. She has dumped me for him since I took her to be fixed. I guess dogs are sort of sensitive about those sort of things. As you can see she is quite comfortable inside Bill's jacket. Aren't they so cute?
I went to the thrift stores with my friend Pam today. I bought 2 pairs bigger jeans...POOOOH. Who wants bigger jeans? I also got a long sleeve shirt, flannel sleep pants for Bill and a pair of cotton sleep pants for me. We also stopped by one of the quilt stores and I got a new pattern and 1/8 yard of polka fabric. That is pretty good for me in a quilt store.
I am thinking of baking another pumpkin bread...the only thing stopping me is that bigger pair of jeans I bought today. Until we meet again.......
