This week (January 16–22) I

Survived the first real cold weather we’ve had this winter.  Low –30s all week.  Car pooled to work with a friend most days.  Wore my long johns and felt packs and carried extra clothes in case the car broke down.  Had an electric heater on in my freezing office.  Cold weather really zaps the energy though and it was a busy work week as well.  It’s warmed up to –25 or so now.  Right balmy so I ….

  3. Well, one thing about such nice 'balmy' weather - lots of quilting gets done. Glad to hear you were able to get outside a little bit! It's been too icy here to venture out much, but looks like all is melting. Love the blocks that you have done!

  5. Brrrr! I guess all that shiver energy is making for good quilting. All of your projects seem to be coming along nicely.

  7. You have been busy. I'm sorry you are so cold but I love hearing about it as we are being roasted here in Australia.
