I was kinda nervous and why I have no idea, it wasn’t like we would show up on the FBI 10 most wanted list, I have never even had a speeding ticket( E has). It was all so easy and our pictures actually turned out good. After submitting all the paperwork ( we took along every legal document proving who we are and that we are US citizens) and paying a rather LARGE fee we walked out free as birds and hungry. We stopped in the towns’ local cafe, Gray’s, a authentic small town greasy spoon sorta a place filled with local ole’ timer ranchers and the decor pure gun loving conservative dye in the wool GOP (trump) supporters. Listening to the conversation E and I just smiled and ate. The food was great and the place entertaining if not a bit weird. We did say on the way home “I eat there again” though.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">January, where did it go? We had an ‘eat through the freezer and pantry’ month here, grocer shopping only to buy fresh produce and milk. I am happy to say our January food bill totaled $73.06. I had set a budget for $100. It was easy too and though we made very little of a dent in the big freezer, the freezer upstairs I can see the bottom of the drawers. February we will continue are freezer/pantry eat down but we do need to stock up on a few things to continue this winter project.</p>

Time is flying by -especially winter, my favorite season! Winter is my season to tuck in and do all the things I love- sewing, quilting, knitting, rug hooking and spinning. Far too many hobbies for this women to get all the projects done that she has planned. But, I have a start;</span></p><div style="text-align: center;">
<p style="font-family: "Noteworthy Light"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have finished sewing the Folklore shirt and I am very happy with the results. I am not a detail anything kind of a person, (depend on my hubby for those skills) so doing buttons evenly is always a challenge here. No more, I have this new gadget and it does all the thinking for me!!!! Also, putting buttonholes in, well my new Bernina does all the math on that as well, all I do is hit a button. Sewing life is good here. Another old invention, new to me to use is Fray check. Sew in a button hole, fill with fray check, let dry and when that button hole is opened it’s perfect!!!! How did I not know about that!!!!</span></p>

<p style="font-family: "Noteworthy Light"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;">January is a great month to eat down the freezer and pantry foods. It’s the month for lots of soups, homemade breads, roasts and …….</span></p>

No matter how I try to slow down December, I can never slow it down enough. Keeping up with ‘normal’ things and then the decorating, baking, events, etc., I ask myself why oh why don’t we spread all this ‘fun’ across 12 months? This year I am making a consorted effort to remember Christmas is a season, not a day or a week.</span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<p style="font-family: "Noteworthy Light"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I do have one plan for January, we are going to eat our freezer food down. I am planning on a 100 dollar food budget for the entire month of January. This means we will only be buying fresh produce once a week and milk. Eric is on board, we will see how it all works out. </p>

<p style="font-family: "Noteworthy Light"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">In the making department, I continue to work on the Hexie quilt (so close, so close.) Of course there are other quilts needing some attention but they are moved to the back till Hexie is finished.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Noteworthy Light"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I am going to cut a shirt out for me, a night shirt will be how I wear this, it will be sewn in a flannel that I picked up second hand. I have made several Folkwear patterns in my time and this shirt I have made at least two other times. Hope I remember how to do all the details.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Noteworthy Light"; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">My Christmas/Winter jacket I found at a Flea Market recently and fell in LOVE! Look at that embroidery! Not sure when this was made, but we believe it is fairly vintage (50’s-60’s?)</p>

Caitlin and her bakers put out hundreds of pies between the Monday and Thursday noon of the Thanksgiving week. It's all hands on deck! Mr.P and I have the kids during the week, (not old enough to work yet in the kitchen or they too would be enlisted.) Instead the littles get to help us do the Thanksgiving feast shopping. Costco was crazy, Eric and I commented that we had never seen such crowds and lines to check out. While Eric waited in line, I took the kids over for pizza.. Once home they emptied the car, first of course with some discourse and then a fun game was made up while bringing all the goods in the house. Kids and imagination-its AMAZING.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Shadows Into Light; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Shadows Into Light; font-size: large;">Being the week of Thanksgiving, kids and pies, not much making will be done.

No one has been sick, just need to stay COVID free to meet a surgery date for Eric. We went into dry dock on Christmas Day and will resurface mid-February. We are home bodies here normally, but something about 'CAN'T' go out that gets old fast. </span></p></blockquote></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Sooo.....I have been quilting, knitting and SPINNING every.single.day! Dish clothes, six finished, we needed new ones badly. I have not had a store bought dishcloth in my entire married life....43 years just celebrated. <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/column-3">Column </a>sweater: finished. Not in love with this sweater but am wearing it often, guess it can't be that bad, (no pics yet.). The other hand knit that has been moved up in regular rotation is <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/altheda-2">Altheda </a>sleeveless sweater. I love this vest, great for these mild winter days and keeps the core nice and warm. Now, please don't think for a minute that any time is spent on daily out fit planning, zero thought goes into my wardrobe planning, jeans, cotton long sleeve shirt, (I only own 5 cotton shirts), Column sweater or Altheda vest or sweatshirt, [the sweatshirt usually wins out.] I like to keep things simple and stress free;-]</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"> I am back to spinning, need another color for my 'Color Spun Shawl", am on a blue BFL spin and enjoying this fiber, nice and sticky. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"> Finished is another scrap quilt, unsure of name, I didn't use a pattern. This quilt gave me higher blood pressure. It's not constructing the blocks but quilting on a table top machine. I think the problem is, I am having trouble handling BIG quilts and doing free hand feather quilting, [which I love.} I fret and fret over the quilting, and all for naught. Once washed, the quilt is beautiful and the quilting pleasing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">READING: The War Of the Roosevelts. This family intrigues me, especially Eleanor. Great book. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">The House of Gucci: The Gucci family...lets just say I am glad I am not related to them. Interesting but creepy book.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">The Rockefellers: I have a like/hate feeling for this family. The Rockefeller foundation has done some amazing things in the USA as well as some horrifying deeds. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Christmas Bells: just a mindless story for me and I have read so many of Jennifer Chiaverini books, I know all the characters.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Watching, all the shows on BritBox!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;">Cooking: Homemade Bread, Pasta, soups, roast, anything that is in the house. Good time to 'use up' all the pantry and freezer food. Even putting together an inventory [on a spread sheet] of pantry and freezer! Life has certainly a bizarre twist for me.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://askatknits.com/2022/01/12/unraveled-wednesday-1-12-22/">Joining Kat this morning</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier;

My husband and I don't exactly live an exciting life and the little we do, do out and about has been curtailed by COVID. Our numbers are so high in the county that the Feds. have sent in health care workers to man the ICU's and ER's! That's a first, not sure what it's going to take to convince people that this is serious! Get vaccinated! Betty, has missed more school than she has been in- due to COVID outbreaks in her class. So far she has avoided the virus and now has her first vaccination completed. Gus, his school too, has COVID and RSV. Schools closed early for the Holidays due to low staff , stress and illness. Sure hope the hospitals don't take this route, but then the Feds. are here to help and the kids while home so much have graduated from 'med school', they are ready to do their part. I got my booster, Mederna and I think I will be switching to Phizer from now on. Merderna kicks my butt, worth the trouble if my only choice, but I can get Phizer and get the same results...IMMUNITY.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I did go to a couple of Flea Markets, and I am a real sucker for vintage sewing machines. And this Singer 401 is a gem and only $50. I also bought not one, but TWO Remington Typewriters for $60. These typewriters are running about $175. around here. I know that's crazy. I like to send snail mail and my sister and I have written letters to each other for years, sometimes several a week and other times once a month, but we write. I also joined some snail mail groups (yes, they are actually a thing!) I love opening a letter and not junk mail. I don't even get bills in the mail anymore due to banking auto bill payer, not that I'm complaining-don't care for bills, though dislike junk mail more.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We haven't had the kids since Halloween, but are going to make up time this week...it's PIE season at the shop. I believe they will be making somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 pies for Thanksgiving. And....that means the kiddos will be here everyday till Thursday when we all gather for a Thanksgiving dinner at the shop. Caitlin decided that dinner will be at the shop where we can all spread out more, yet be together. Eric and I are in charge of the mash potatoes,( I am Irish after all). Looking forward to a smaller Thanksgiving feast and a return to some normalcy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Knitting has been a hit and a miss, hats a hit, fair isle sweater is a miss thus far. Gauge correct but size wrong...oye vey. Also working on Felix Sweater, a gift a think. And the Tess shawl, this is just a long knit. Some sewing going on and I did take a class on 'fixing the Serger' and mine is running like a dream.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Books: Mrs. Lincoln's Sisters. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Mary Lincoln I find a very interesting American Women, very misunderstood and a women with many sides. She also dealt with some mental health issues that were misunderstood in the late 19th century. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The Taking of Jemima Boone.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have just started this book, lots of history.. American Indian history. True American History really needs to be taught in school or we will never get past our 'White Privilege!' The TRUTH, why are white people so afraid of it?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Fall is waning here in Northern Colorado, our first measurable snow happened early this week and it was a welcome sight. Fall has been beautiful this year, a little on the warm side but the colors -beautiful.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hope your Thanksgiving is peaceful and everything you need it to be this year.</div><p></p>Eileenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17031688737964746427noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168905039962316077.post-19530994261237007252021-10-22T17:46:00.000-06:002021-10-22T17:46:06.449-06:00FALL, PUMPKINS, KNITTING<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

No, not COVID-thank goodness, just re-entry into the world viruses. After having been inside keeping people not in our bubble away, going out (even though wearing a mask), seems my immune system forgot how to fend off little annoying viruses. It’s been a long frustrating month, but I am on the mend now! Thank you science for antibiotics! It is time to knock out this low grade sinus infection once and for all. Today is the first day I feel energy returning, like I may want to actually do something today, walk, bake, sew, who knows, the sky is the limit. Unfortunately, my granddaughter’s classroom has a COVID out break, so she is in remote learning now! My county is again on a mandatory mask wearing in all buildings again. When is America going to get it together and do what is needed to end this pandemic?</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; text-align: left;"> </span></span></div><p></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;">

<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: medium;">I have been knitting with some finish wins and a sad RIP sweater that I am now recasting on after having to set it aside in a time out. The <a href="https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/felix-cardigan" target="_blank">Felix Sweater</a> above is a 'new' cast on using <a href="http://www.honerocheir.nu">Nutiden Yarn</a> from </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue; font-size: medium;">Sweden. This yarn is unspun and breaks easily but easy to put back together. I love the color, a dark maroon with lots of other colors blended in the mix. </span></p></blockquote></blockquote><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Hoping for a long Fall season with lots of walks, knitting, good health and family time.</span> </p>Eileenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17031688737964746427noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168905039962316077.post-72138867256287586552021-10-04T09:21:00.005-06:002021-10-04T09:21:47.041-06:00PICTURES, VACATION<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The smallest of small towns in Northwestern Wyoming. A true town with only 3 corners marking its center, the only 'grocery store' was in the one gas station. However, its charm overflowed in this small town, wooden side walks, a chocalatier shop and a 'antique' store that could keep one in town for a month.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Our cabin of 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 great rooms, huge kitchen and a porch no one wanted to leave, the view was AMAZING! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We cooked big meals, all taking turns cooking and cleaning, worked on puzzles, played with the littles, celebrated a birthday, (Jason), star gazed, and FISHED. We are a crew that needs to be near trout streams. Two fly fished for the first time and I think we may have hooked them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdw3P_bxinyzTKyZDoDEUPdD-1r1ON9nY2hBKWJR3XjrUBrTqCVn8iOBrkruboqTpApSbcA91EXeuVdmI38GV2Sfu1PNyV1296slu7V4N1xQq8u0tkbHBzcdNgfVN1KW4XGdOFf8dzrAjM/s2048/5A435A5E-FD78-4276-B9BE-07A803F0FBDA.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdw3P_bxinyzTKyZDoDEUPdD-1r1ON9nY2hBKWJR3XjrUBrTqCVn8iOBrkruboqTpApSbcA91EXeuVdmI38GV2Sfu1PNyV1296slu7V4N1xQq8u0tkbHBzcdNgfVN1KW4XGdOFf8dzrAjM/w480-h640/5A435A5E-FD78-4276-B9BE-07A803F0FBDA.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Forgot candles for the ice cream cake, so a scented candle had to due.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjunrpn6dzxGuvTmAA0npz_Rdhm5QfEbbjdm9Ell1c4Dw_fCTdd4DBmCODMlBhhk5q6SznvhC2lxZb-mW7vnJWrPsLsisOyg-GhLzayn3veCfnkUi9y2qpvcU5T1XTBPwkim39gL_ymbwsC/s2048/47488866-93DC-45F6-A8C0-042144F0D944.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjunrpn6dzxGuvTmAA0npz_Rdhm5QfEbbjdm9Ell1c4Dw_fCTdd4DBmCODMlBhhk5q6SznvhC2lxZb-mW7vnJWrPsLsisOyg-GhLzayn3veCfnkUi9y2qpvcU5T1XTBPwkim39gL_ymbwsC/w640-h480/47488866-93DC-45F6-A8C0-042144F0D944.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqBiyPWnH4nSjWzTxO8MZnC3gLxXhkGhZQAWIHE2qfCUWmjsyYYX2uzqqQdofnd6CSQjfoPwJ-ul0my8-MNlkWl4dajJB16zLLJQ9FMXK9mgWkxDFTVyVr3GZ5TPed1EaEdntqgDMxL4XJ/s2048/E96F64E9-D9F2-4EF5-9584-01954B837748_1_201_a.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1356" data-original-width="2048" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqBiyPWnH4nSjWzTxO8MZnC3gLxXhkGhZQAWIHE2qfCUWmjsyYYX2uzqqQdofnd6CSQjfoPwJ-ul0my8-MNlkWl4dajJB16zLLJQ9FMXK9mgWkxDFTVyVr3GZ5TPed1EaEdntqgDMxL4XJ/w640-h424/E96F64E9-D9F2-4EF5-9584-01954B837748_1_201_a.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Family photo minus Betty, she refused to be in photo.

No outside, non, nada, nope, not today. I have to say, all these issues we are facing,(fires, environment, political, COVID, etc...) are beginning to wear on me, and yet their is really little I can do about any of it! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">On to things I enjoy doing. I am working on a (reproductive fabric) hexie quilt, all done by hand. I have not bought any fabric for this quilt... yet, and hope not buy any. Use it up or do with out! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Canning season has started! Caitlin and I have put up 6 cases of peaches the past week, equaling 52 quarts! That is a record canning peaches for me. I hope to have pepper jelly done this week. Canned 16 jars of blueberry jam and it is over the top good.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I bought a new sewing machine! Yes, it is an antique hand crank machine that sews like a dream. I have a real soft spot for old sewing machines. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Other things happening here at my house: sorting out photos, lots of photo memory making paraphernalia. I use do so much of this stuff and make loads of photo books, cards and invitations. The 'stuff' just kept making its way into my home and today I went thru boxes and draws full of stamps, paper, cute stickers, more paper, cutters, pen and stamps. I blame my obsession with collecting and playing with all this on the fact I went to Catholic Schools and we really did not have art class, I was making up for lost time.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, its all organized and now I want to start cropping again.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The last picture of Eric and the kids melts my heart. The three of them watching the lake and bobber for a fish to rise and bite. They had no luck on this trip, but sure did enjoy the experience.</div><p></p>Eileenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17031688737964746427noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168905039962316077.post-74742072534235406052021-07-30T16:11:00.001-06:002021-07-30T16:11:43.585-06:00JUST TOO......<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkJanFGY9869_UclmQGoLMNYiW22RlZNbk5i4QfzfO3KTm9Nt3rKy5BuhNhuZwCpt1nrfbOiBPMbNCgK9NQjCu2flgpbYbepzlSqKLECd8YjFNtBcmTSHL3kNzksjfcBAUjeSLpAWoCgHX/s2048/512819AD-F155-4368-9DB3-8491AE6D8A9C_1_201_a.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkJanFGY9869_UclmQGoLMNYiW22RlZNbk5i4QfzfO3KTm9Nt3rKy5BuhNhuZwCpt1nrfbOiBPMbNCgK9NQjCu2flgpbYbepzlSqKLECd8YjFNtBcmTSHL3kNzksjfcBAUjeSLpAWoCgHX/w640-h480/512819AD-F155-4368-9DB3-8491AE6D8A9C_1_201_a.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;">All great books.

Oh , and stay in pattern---but no info where to start 10st repeat pattern so everything meets up 'in line' for the yoke.

When it was all said and done I believe we got around 30" of wet heavy snow. The blizzard ended Sunday night and by Monday afternoon already so much had melted, being sunny and in the low 40's. The above picture is Tuesday morning and the snow is melting fast. The city did come through and plow our street Tuesday morning at zero dark thirty, plowing frozen snow/ice into our truck, as well as blocking our driveway with a wall of ice snow. We dug that out early on Tuesday wearing t-shirts, again sun out and temps rising. We have more snow, (so they are saying) coming in tonight and then again early next week, nothing big, just an inch or so......</div><div style="text-align: center;">I do love the fickleness of Colorado Spring weather and find it entertaining listening to all the folks that have spent little time in this great state complain about the late season snows. Ha, wait till they experience a blizzard in the middle of May, and yes I have been through a couple of those too. These snows is what fills our rivers and reservoirs, water that will be much needed during the summer. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope to see a couple more snow drops, measurable snows come through before summer turns on the heat.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Joining<a href="http://askatknits.com"> Kat Unraveled Wednesday</a></div><p></p>Eileenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17031688737964746427noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168905039962316077.post-56230409808856430682021-03-10T07:38:00.007-07:002021-03-10T07:38:55.911-07:00A GREAT WEEK AHEAD FOR ME<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2LceKiFFR_bAriH-zqv8xSN1PKy05Of8KEe5L-6qpLgWUiD-vnWzISt-LnajxctcCtce-7WBpREPoWnlpeCpS9xWuH7DVnY0AQoQNC3R2CZLRBj9puGjfkgg6KhhDpvItWMSIQf303N3p/s2048/99DA38F5-B693-4A9E-91C8-6E61519294E9.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2LceKiFFR_bAriH-zqv8xSN1PKy05Of8KEe5L-6qpLgWUiD-vnWzISt-LnajxctcCtce-7WBpREPoWnlpeCpS9xWuH7DVnY0AQoQNC3R2CZLRBj9puGjfkgg6KhhDpvItWMSIQf303N3p/w480-h640/99DA38F5-B693-4A9E-91C8-6E61519294E9.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG6cv3bNQwUsiW2zzshPOSIwIss_6PwRHq1c5hWi-iGuFjt2ESmiIQPw0NwjNWVjKfy9AQnM6BxpmD_S6FZ-ikIQkI_M7NMteo5wOnv7JOdr0kyGAVC5LK0AhEmcCAnudlRwP8i3k2nWOX/s2048/2387F811-D575-4B11-8BD7-DA2AFB63CBBB.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG6cv3bNQwUsiW2zzshPOSIwIss_6PwRHq1c5hWi-iGuFjt2ESmiIQPw0NwjNWVjKfy9AQnM6BxpmD_S6FZ-ikIQkI_M7NMteo5wOnv7JOdr0kyGAVC5LK0AhEmcCAnudlRwP8i3k2nWOX/w640-h480/2387F811-D575-4B11-8BD7-DA2AFB63CBBB.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDV4NJYEEYKwFZ3nOl_Hh8xYtW1beVQkRCxEJsZ-fqnP4MyhD_1VsbNlj-ixHEGv6LyjjkNMrt7mu3OlfVyuLfj4sJA2ugN_X6OinhvfY09fFRFc_gEIZhtCZPkDpxmsX4hGmMpae3TfnI/s2048/391B9709-CB98-4416-9A4B-720A48508E01.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDV4NJYEEYKwFZ3nOl_Hh8xYtW1beVQkRCxEJsZ-fqnP4MyhD_1VsbNlj-ixHEGv6LyjjkNMrt7mu3OlfVyuLfj4sJA2ugN_X6OinhvfY09fFRFc_gEIZhtCZPkDpxmsX4hGmMpae3TfnI/w480-h640/391B9709-CB98-4416-9A4B-720A48508E01.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFET_Ji1GDBkY0OD5lIRw3P-ENVKzHQeC_aDUcu-jZ4TtpdWlaaHmVoCdMeS3YCA5i5ZjHW8okwt_dZsR6NeaDS71_9rpGYrVlailCGlH992fdmhs4iTuKWPUurGEk1YLo_JPIbXW-Dfy6/s2048/F35957EA-6FF2-40B9-AA44-3F161CDB7FD2.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFET_Ji1GDBkY0OD5lIRw3P-ENVKzHQeC_aDUcu-jZ4TtpdWlaaHmVoCdMeS3YCA5i5ZjHW8okwt_dZsR6NeaDS71_9rpGYrVlailCGlH992fdmhs4iTuKWPUurGEk1YLo_JPIbXW-Dfy6/w480-h640/F35957EA-6FF2-40B9-AA44-3F161CDB7FD2.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> Things here the past week has been happening in the kitchen.

This half square triangle quilt was a bear to machine quilt. I had debated if it needed borders to square up the quilt, decided against it.... much to my dismay while machine quilting this monster. Half square triangles are cut on bias (something that should of been glaringly obvious to me) and anything sewn on bias MOVES, a lot. Lordy, quilting this quilt was like trying to herd cats to stay in a straight line. I could only quilt a couple of rows then remove the quilt , re-stretch and pin, repeat and repeat for two-three days. Finally ready for the binding....first few stitches and the machine broke big time. Took over an hour to release fabric that was jammed between needle and bobbin case. Next day machine went to the Chet, my machine fix it man! Binding was put on using one of my Bernina machines. All done and quilt is beautiful draped over the back of a couch.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOspfrX-tt9FlMRVtGjNJpnK8hlDw-xFRpERSXlHGeybeQl6nathwZGpQnANphyAQBncfN9SnPKfrkjsqmdIhAA68xYbf5mHkw6fIDukPUo_iGA3HPmh77EyFbadMQysQTjGsr5Aun5li0/s2048/4600F1AE-F819-4CCB-A596-ADEE65CA8588.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOspfrX-tt9FlMRVtGjNJpnK8hlDw-xFRpERSXlHGeybeQl6nathwZGpQnANphyAQBncfN9SnPKfrkjsqmdIhAA68xYbf5mHkw6fIDukPUo_iGA3HPmh77EyFbadMQysQTjGsr5Aun5li0/w480-h640/4600F1AE-F819-4CCB-A596-ADEE65CA8588.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEingx5W5RVrLXZRBFOTTHwwSR8zV_f8Llqjjg39chFzsH-aSlCs6wTSsFw8iopF5Gv7dCc0tGGHYt7PxdCM6d0Q1Q8m9bwLblVJewtsaFPoxmnQw29srJpJAJoHFvxRr_MyNNVfNmmYFDBi/s2048/40945A0E-015B-4442-91B7-AF3AB7AF8623.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEingx5W5RVrLXZRBFOTTHwwSR8zV_f8Llqjjg39chFzsH-aSlCs6wTSsFw8iopF5Gv7dCc0tGGHYt7PxdCM6d0Q1Q8m9bwLblVJewtsaFPoxmnQw29srJpJAJoHFvxRr_MyNNVfNmmYFDBi/w480-h640/40945A0E-015B-4442-91B7-AF3AB7AF8623.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We have been cold and getting snow as of late and loving it.

Every spare moment is spent at my wheel trying to perfect the consistency of the yarn I am trying to produce (spin.) It is a wonderful thing that I have so much fiber to practice on, mostly natural white merino. Any skeins that I like after spinning up the merino, I will dye, (another favorite 'thing' I love to do, but dying takes place in the summer.)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Spinning, I forgot, is meditative! Doing the same hand/feet movement over and over again is calming to my mind.

Staying in 99% of my time has a surreal effect on me, mornings running into evenings, then bed, only to do exactly the same the next day, ( I still have the same quarter tank of gas in my car that I had starting November 1.) Yesterday, I did run to the library to return books in the outside return box, our libraries are closed again, having only curb side pick up available. Then I decided to pop into my LYS to quickly pick up a few more colors of Rauma yarn for a color work sweater I have in mind to knit. I was greatly disappointed that a couple came in and had their mask on only over their mouths, and the women kept siding up next to me to see what I had in my hands, all the while TALKING! I kept moving further away from her, and she looked at me as if I was being the rude offensive one. I quickly paid and exited the shop, wondering, am I going to regret, (with my life), the purchase of yarn. I am constantly perplexed that people continue to fight wearing masks correctly or at all, what is the problem?
