Thursday Update

It sure has been unusually cold here this past week!!

I did not even want to go outside to get a picture so here is what I saw out my kitchen window. The pine tree was so full of ice that it was leaning against the house. I am happy to report that it is no longer leaning so far!

I did make it out to the mail to find this had arrived!

So fun to open it and find the Feb/March edition of Quilt and the beautiful Bliss quilt kit! Thank you Bonnie and Cotton Way. I am going to enjoy sewing this beautiful quilt as soon as I get brave enough to cut the beautiful fabric;)

Here is a look at the project I finished this week.

Pattern: Round Yoke by Rebeka Lambert

I like the size of this bag, not to sure if I love the color combo yet.

Winter Wonderland for today!

So Darren pulled in around 12:45 PM safe and sound. Yes I was still awake. He left to drop a few of the boy's off so the parents did not have to drive in the snow. The electricity went off for the second time and I was not sure if he would be able to get back in. Turns out he left the garage door opened but that meant he had to unhook it from the opener to close it. So around 1:30AM he came upstairs and fell into bed. I woke up this morning around 5:30 and realized that sometime during the night the electricity had gone back on, I turned off a light or two we forgot about and stopped the alarm time from blinking. I looked out the window and could see that everything was blanketed in snow!!! It was cold and so I got right back under my warm blankets until 7:30 when Ben and Jacquie showed up at our door:) We watched Rusty and Kirra slide down the front stairs as they attempted to go explore the white wonderland. I threw a few snow balls at Ben and Darren after Jacquie left for work. We then made a huge snowman snowbear, my camera battery died so I will have to get a picture from Ben.

Here are a few more pictures of our southern style Winter Wonderland.

Jacquie on her way to work.

Fresh snow

Can you find Rusty in the snow covered woods? Rusty and Kirra checking out the snow!

Our home covered in snow, the palms don't look very tropical with snow weighing them down.

Thanks for looking at all my pictures. Maybe in another 20 years I will have a new snow post to share.
