cave dwelling

After 2 years with no snow, its day 3 of the light and fluffy stuff, so far today about 4" with end mid-afternoon.  the snow and nearly every day gray and drab PLUS a few days of high winds makes the apartment--with blinds closed and drapes drawn--more like living in a cave.  mr. edison to the rescue!  plenty of channel surfing and sewing taking place.

now in the hoop (again) is the s'mores quilt.  with january's UFO done, hoping to get this one done by february?  this one is a keeper.

a few hours communing with the featherweight finished all 16 cat blocks.  ideas formulating with how to finish....stay tuned.  colors washed out but really bright as you can imagine.

for christmas bro and sis-in-love sent me a subscription to Smithsonian magazine.  no issues yet but this reusable bag arrived yesterday.  

so another day in the cave working on blue circles.  if i can get them all prepped today, perhaps then get them all appliqued before the february challenge is chosen.  with predicted warming next week, hoping winter is done for good.  yes, it's pretty, but with everything canceled and traveling treacherous, it's a big inconvenience.  

couple of recommendations.....

a bittersweet romp into the 1950s, the before of an ending we know....

the third installment of the kingsbridge series....

i'm a whodunit gal but the first book in the series was such an intriguing story, have continued.  this volume focuses on a cast of characters and an in-depth look at the catholic/protestant situation--mix of fact and fiction.  there is a new 4th book, but still 300+ pages to go in this 900+ page saga.

hoping you are warm and dry and have enjoyable pastimes to weather the winter.  consider myself quite blessed to have the same.
