Warm January!

 Temperatures have been in the 40-50's, going to the 20's at night. No snow yet, which does not break my heart. 

It's 13 years today that my high school BFF Linda passed, still hard to believe. Three of my closest high school and beyond friends didn't even make it to age 60, which is so sad. So I rarely complain about getting old, it beats the alternative.

I feel like I'm in the home stretch with Quiet Time, working the bottom row. Pattern Keeper has been such an immense help! I'm decided whether to have it framed, which would give it the protection of glass, or to make a fabric border and hang it like a quilt. I hope to have it done by Valentine's Day.

I told Ralph we have to get serious about finding a painter for the family room, the last room we have to do. Some of the family room stuff is visiting the sewing room, and I want it back to normal. The contractor we had for the living room isn't calling back, so I went to my go to guy, my brother Mike, for a recommendation. So maybe I can get things going now. 

I swapped out the Christmas shower curtain for a Valentine's Day one, and got out the container to put away the gnomes. I also made brownies and iced tea.

The pix on my phone are a lot of quilts and afghans that I want to make, once Quiet Time is done. I depend on Facebook for recipes, quilt pix and afghan pix! And pix of my family.
