Snow Days

Before the snow melts I thought I should do a post. This picture of the fish swimming in the snow was taken on Saturday, they were completely buried a couple of days later.

These roof panels in the green house came out in a wind storm we had this fall (and we haven't fixed them yet) so the greenhouse is full of snow (view from the deck)

I have done a few projects. Simple valentine heart that I redid a number of times to get it right, 6" tall.

I made a case for the new GPS we got as Dave's 30 year anniversary with BP. I made this block as an experiment then had nothing to do with it, so I was thrilled when I thought to use it for the case.

Back side, opened out. Case size when closed is 4-1/2" x 6-1/2"

I've been wanting to make something with fabric selvages, I have a project in mind so I started some blocks, each one is 9".

And Milo, King of the quilts.

Sledding Fun

Snow, snow, and more snow, so Dave made our road into a sled run by driving the car up and down to pack the snow. He even went above our house to the garden area, so the run is probably 1/4 mile long.
We have a great old metal sled that is perfect for these conditions. Of course they didn't hike back up, they drove the car. Dave took these pictures as I was bundled up inside during all this.

Snow

My Goodness! What's that out there? Is that SNOW???

Please, Please, Please, can we go out and play?

OK, I've had enough, my paws are frozen.

March Madness

Sophie kitty decided she really wanted to go out, and made a dash when we were letting the dog back in. She stayed under the house eaves but was quite enthralled with the stuff coming out of the sky until I snatched her up and brought her inside.

It's still coming down...

Wednesday

Here is new quilter Linda's second quilt, that's 2 quilts completed in less than 3 months. Isn't it lovely! Also this one is gone, it went with her daughter, back to college after spring break. Not only is she speedy with her projects, but she's generous too!

I left my row quilt on the floor for a few days and the dog thought it looked comfy. I have since put it back in it's box, still unfinished.
Morning surprise, about 30 minutes of snow which left things covered in white for awhile.
Along with the snow can you see the trellis Dave made for me? It's made from Alder saplings that he harvested from our property. I love sweet peas and I'm determined to do them right this year and have a successful "crop". The seeds are in the ground, glad they like "cooler" weather. I have plans to sow more seeds in about a month.
I have set my B-Line frame up with the intention of doing some machine quilting. Progress has been slower than I expected what with remembering how to do it and my sore muscles from the weeding I accomplished. Just need to thread and test the machine and get rolling.
As I was taking the frame picture Sophie kitty decided to see what was up. She finds the hanging batting very intriguing (I keep it up on the table when I'm not working on it to avoid temptation). Here she is under the table eyeing the edge. Right after I took this picture she made a flying leap, grabbed the table edge and hung there squirming until she figured out that she wasn't going to be able to get on the table and just let go. It was very amusing.
