A change in the weather

We met up with Bob & Max today in Round Lake village planning to walk the bike path.  The trail was very snow covered & icy so we changed to plan B & decided we would walk around the village instead.
I just love this village as it is so "old worldly" with lots of victorian style houses that people keep up using the same paint styles as when they were built.
This one, I think, went a "little" over the top!
This one I kinda like............
......however this one looked like they poured a couple gallons of Pepto-Bismol on it!

Much more toned down
I love this house & it is for sale.....it has a huge yard........
......look at the stonework.
This is the other side.....see their view of the lake.


This is the front of someone's garage.
We found a baseball field for Max & Molly to have a run.
You know it's cold when running water freezes!  It was probably around 20 degrees & it felt a heat wave to us.  We have hardly walked at all this past week so today felt good being outside.  They are predicting 40+ degs on Tues & maybe 50 on Wed.  Crazy weather!!!

  1. Some of them are sort of Key West-ish with all those colours. Pretty though especially with the snow.

Today we have a riddle???

 What do you get when you cross a pile of scraps, a sewing machine, a woman possessed, & a husband on a week long golf trip?  The following.........  This is a tablecloth for my kitchen table....forgot to take the finished pic  Cover for my sewing machine...very proud of this as I quilted the whole thing.  This is the back....got tired of doing squares!  Matching cover for my serger.  I meant to post these a while ago & must have forgot.  I have done a couple other projects since then which I will get around to posting soon.  Had computer problems so I have some catching up to do Love

C of O ....Sun Room...Day Twenty Three-Twenty Five

This came in the mail today which made me realize I never posted the last couple days updates.  They really all rolled into one as Jim ended up leaving at noon on Weds...it started to snow & didn't work at all on Thurs.  Friday he finished things up by lunch time but had to spend the afternoon emptying my garage of all his tools.  We had our inspection on Monday which wasn't a problem.  It has been so sunny this week so far so it is so nice to sit in there & enjoy the view!  Yes Molly hangs out in her a lot.....I have nose prints to prove she looks out of all the windows!

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...
