It appears that the wintry weather in the Northeast of the US is interrupting our plans to travel to Boston. We haven't seen our daughter and her family since December, but they are expecting 6-10 inches of snow this weekend. It is only supposed to rain where we are, but it is no fun trying to travel on slick, snowy, icy roads. Hopefully we will be able to visit another weekend. Of course, there is also another storm expected to blanket Long Island with 12+" of snow this coming Thursday. Ugh!
Oh well, it just means that I will be "stuck" inside crafting. That is never a bad thing as far as I am concerned. I have been quite busy this past week with all my crafting. I managed to finish that hat that I was crocheting with the annoying Homespun yarn. The yarn looks grey in this photo, but it is a bright, light blue.
It came out quite pretty, though I don't like it for myself. This will be a donation hat. I have already started another hat of this pattern with the rest of the scraps of Homespun yarn I have. This will be a few different colors and then I won't have any more of that yarn.
I have been cutting and gluing fabric for the "Windows Into My World" quilt. I have also finished stitching two more of the "blocks". I have another partially stitched and one waiting to be stitched.
The Woodland Babies birth announcement has been stitching up quickly this week. I finished the back stitching on the fawn and added two flowers and a bee.
We celebrated Hubby's birthday on Thursday with his favorite Entenmann's Chocolate Fudge Cake.
I will be joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching and Frederique at the Quilting Patch. Make yourself some tea, coffee or cocoa and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching.
Thanks for stopping by!
Winter weather has kept us home too. We are expecting lots of snow today and tomorrow. Oh well, I will be spending some time in my sewing room, which is just fine with me. Hope you get to visit your daughter and her family soon. Happy birthday to your husband! The birth announcement is so cute! Happy stitching! Gail at the cozy quilter

ReplyDeleteI like the bee too. It is raining a lot here today, but there was snow by our daughter. We will visit her soon.
DeleteWinter weather can really mess with your travel plans! At least you're all safe and have some time to do your favorite things. The baby announcement is coming right along - so sweet! Enjoy your Sunday, Cathie!
