Snow and cold and No heater :(

We did indeed 

get the Winter Storm.

This morning I opened the door to

let the dogs out, 

Elizabeth stuck her head out and

turned around and came back in.

Dobby - our Welch Corgi - has 

quite a bit more fur than a bulldog,

so he went out.  Elizabeth finally did too,

but only after I grabbed my coat and earmuffs 

and went out first.

The first things we did was go

out back to the bird feeders and 

load them up.   When the day starts 

out at 9 degrees, we have to fill them twice.

This is what the living room looked like 

for two days - only with the door closed.   The

wood burning stove sits inside out fireplace. 

Mice had gotten into the heat pump - they

fried themselves but they fried the switches

on the heat pump too so we heated with wood for 

2 days.  And Pep and I only got to sleep for 2 hour 

stretches so we could load up the stove to keep it going.

This is a space heater that helped a little

And here's what helped a lot.

This is "Living the Good Life" our

Mystery Quilt from two years ago.

I sat in my chair and dozed and sewed

on the binding.  

Anyway.  The heat pump is fixed now and 

both the pattern and the kit for the quilt will be in the

store later today now that I finally finished it.

Its been hanging over the railing in the foyer all

of this time because I forgot to do the hand sewing on

the binding.

And this is the back of the Winter Tablestand 

that I'm working on.

Right now - I'm off the the beauty parlor.

Have a good week ladies.
