More extreme winter

This winter is really taking it's job very seriously & right now we are in the middle of another deep freeze!

It is really getting old & we are all suffering from cabin fever! I love the fact that I can spend time sewing or knitting but hate that some days it's too cold to get outside to walk.

It started to get cold Monday night & we won't be seeing temps go above freezing for a long time.

Heck they are not going above 20 for a while. Combine that with wind & it makes it unbearable.

If we do venture out it takes forever to get ready & can barely move with all the layers. We have been going to the park with Molly because at least there the trees give us shelter from the winds.

Why does this keep happening.......I'd like to say how I did this myself but it's some kinda magic!!!!

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

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...

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!

Life from where we are
