Snow Day!

We woke up Saturday morning to a big blanket of snow. I was really excited to go outside and run around in it. Although I’m sure that at some point I’ll be sick of it, I didn’t grow up in a snowy area, so snow is still somewhat magical to me. Yay!

There’s my shiny new bike. I guess I need some major winter gear in order to ride it when it’s cold. I need to ride it more than I have been!
I spent today working on my sister’s baby quilt. I have one more long row to do, then assembling and basting and the dreaded quilting process. I have been debating on whether to have it professionally quilted, but I’m stubborn (and poor!) and think I want to do it myself.

It’s actually oriented the other way (like if you flipped this photo on it’s side) but this is how it hangs on the wall. I am really loving it. Plus it’s a nice break from my crochet projects!
Tonight I am going to do some cooking. I’m trying out this recipe, I’ll let you know how it goes. I’ll also post the acorn squash recipe later this week if I have a chance, since people have been asking for it (hi mom!). I ended up tossing the leftover squash and chicken with feta, butter, olive oil and pasta and it was divine!

Wow, what part of the country do you live in that y’all got snow? It’s still pretty stinkin’ warm here in Georgia!

The quilt is beautiful and inspiring all at the same time. I just love the colors you have chosen. So jealous of the snow. I live in SW Oklahoma and we probably won’t see any type of precipitation until January at the earliest. Waaa

designonpost- I live in Montana, so snow is standard procedure, from what I understand. We actually got snowshowers last weekend, too.

I’m with designonpost, DeeJay and greta…it’s still 80-90 here now, and super humid! I grew up in UT so I miss the snow so much! So, yay you!!
Oh yes, and your quilt is gorgeous!

Yup, still 90 in Austin. I love the quilt top- you can totally quilt it yourself, no question.
Now git that bike inside before your tires crack!

no way!!! It’s 70-80 degrees in New York… they’ve still got the AC blasting (on my cubicle, at least) (wait, I’m not sure if it ever goes off….)
Sigh… I am dreaming of winter craft time already!
