Little Snow Left

 after work: Doc shovels the snow from driveway in preparation for the inches of snow arriving before Saturday

taken mid-afternoon:  until later this week............................not much snow!

Favorite Work

then off to teach the same: knitting, sewing, quilting...................

Needlework

knitting goes with me everywhere; I knit in lines and between classes

quilt is done; will mail it tomorrow

Machine Quilting

 Jeff is impressed I could fit the quilt under the foot to stitch.

 I'm using a wine colored thread and like the look on both sides.

Not finished yet but it is already gorgeous.

Travel Knitting

Flights from Denver to Houston, then return with an hour delay in Tulsa due to high winds in Denver, then road trip from Houston Hobby to Corpus and back.  Once in Corpus, my hands were very full of a squirmy seven month old Alexander!  The gray socks have Thor fur!!!

Snow Nearly Gone, Missing Corpus Family

We miss you three!  Yes, Yohaira, I see your sock!

Weekend to Corpus Christi

we left The Barn at 3:15 in a blizzard; flight was on schedule but plane was de-iced; first time I've heard the de-icer; arrived at Houston Hobby and rented a jeep, drove to Corpus Christi

 Alexander is 7 months old and perfect!  He has two teeth (first seen by his other Grampa while in Santo Domingo), can hold his sippy and bottle, grabs everything and mouths it all, loves Thor, loves tech, loves his Mommy's organic home made baby food, puts himself down for a nap several times a day

 enjoys books and toys, is trying to crawl via the bunny hop/push and launch via cute feet, loves his bath/water play, squeals and vocalizes and is the most cute grandson ever!

Sean's man cave with new shelves but alas, my camera stopped using the flash, again

 rain in Texas, and beautiful wildflowers

knitting while driving from Corpus to Houston Hobby; not much knitting while at grandson's house as I was a total hog and hoarded Alexander more than my share of time

Alexander Entertains Gramma

Happy Gramma and Grandson

Visiting Family in Corpus Christi

So Far - Flight On Time

At 3:15 AM, it is snowing and blowing!!  However, the flight is still scheduled on time.  Yay!

Scrappy Rail Fence Quilt

 low loft batting, backing, less than 1/2 inch binding (per hospital request)

then to do LOTS and LOTS of machine quilting to withstand many washings in the hospital

Scanning Color Pictures

Loud Wind, Major Snow Melt!

Loud Sewing Room, Fast Sewing

 sewing strips together

 cutting into 6.5 X 6.5 inch squares

 assembling rows of the squares

 all squares are sewn together; the cream and fireworks print are borders, the red marble is the backing and binding

NB  I had intended to start this next week (the organization wants them mailed back within 4-6 weeks so there's plenty of time............... but the fabric and project called me on this windy and snow melt day!
