Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....enough already, as I told the Fabettes in an e-mail today! Actually, it doesn't bother me that much. Which of course, is easy to say for somebody who carpools with their husband - door to door service in a 4 wheel drive vehicle! And we aren't doing the first big Christmas celebration until Sunday the 28th, with another one in January sometime (we have to share our new baby Cody and his parents with the other grandparents in Spokane this Christmas.) I know many of you have stricter time constraints!

I noticed that it seems quite a few of you have been looking at the blog the last couple of days - weather related I would imagine. So, I thought I should put up something new for you to look at. I kept mentioning the chickens I was "playing" with this week. Well, here they are! It's from a book called "Quilts for All Seasons and Some for No Reason!" I guess the chickens would be "for no reason". Of course, if you can tell from this picture, I saw it as yet another opportunity to use our black and whites! I have most of their body parts cut and ready to fuse, but I still need a few feathers for that top left fowl. I'm building the outer checkerboard border at home, while they stay safe on the design wall at the shop.

This has been a nervous weekend for us. Our oldest son left Los Angeles Friday with most of his earthly possessions to move back to the Seattle area. We've been "talking him in" by cell phone! As of a few minutes ago, he was just south of Olympia. The chains had broken and we managed to find a Sears in Lacey with chains, so he's stopping to get some. Roads are pretty clear, but he'll probably need them when he gets off the freeway to get to his final destination. At which point his mother will heave a very large sigh of relief!!

Hope your Sunday has been wonderful - that you are warm, safe and enjoying the company of family, friends, or your sewing machine! More later - Carol
