Winter's Here!

Just like that, you wake up one day and it's winter! I should have taken a picture yesterday to show how green the grass was.

December 16, 2022

My flaky friend showed up this morning. :^)

It was still dark out when he showed up. I had to feed the birds and had turned the porch lights on. He hopped onto the patio table with a big grin. He was happy to see me again, even with my morning hairdo! He's even not 6" tall but I'm sure he will grow some more. 

I did some deconstruction. 

The fabrics to make the adult bibs were sewn together (two of cotton with one flannel) around the edges to make drawing the pattern easier. We cut them out after the pattern was sewn. Then the bibs were flipped inside out. Anywho, it made a lot of leftover fabric to unpick. Can you see the big bag in front of me? I'm having fun. Just a little bit more left to do. I decided to separate the pieces by the colour of the flannel. 

Sitting on the floor, watching TV and deconstructing: the pile on the left 

The pile on the right

These little bits will become HSTs in no time. Fun! 

Still more to sew too. The white fabric on top of the pictures is the sashing for Hole in the Barn Door. 

Slowly building Jericho Wall in quadrants.

These are attached together. 

These are still rows. 

I decided to make the sashing scrappy. 

It's hard to photograph white as it reflects the light a lot. Hopefully, you can see the beginning of this sashing has numbers and the end has flowers. I have so many skinny strips that are not long enough for the sashing that I decided to make do. 

Oh! Got to go. Someone's knocking at the door. 

He didn't like the snow last year but now, he doesn't mind it at all. 

Yeah, I know, I'm a mess ... but I'm bright!

Take care, everyone, and stay warm. 

;^)

P.S. We have over 10" and the snow is still coming. These pictures were taken early morning on Dec 17, 2022.

The BBQ doing his best Arnold Schwarzenegger impression, adding inches on both sides, lol. 

The pines are so beautiful. I'll take another picture once the sun brings back colours to the world.  

It is the nice kind of snow, you know the one that sticks together to make snowmen and forts. It sticks to bare branches too. And to the cat's fur. The poor thing could barely walk into the house this morning. 

And this is Frosty. Yep, my little snow friend grew another 3" or so ... and lost its face, haha. I'll have to dig him out of there and give the birds more seeds too.
