Since the weather has not been very pleasant to deal with here for the last
couple weeks, I have been inside sorting and bagging and tossing. I have
even been mailing. Yes, I am brave enough to venture out in these coldish
temperatures to hit the post office on occasion.
(venturing out means: long woolen underwear, t-shirt, regular shirt,
sweatshirt, wool socks, boots, mittens, toque, heavy coat, scarf and a
prayer that the vehicle don't break down!)
Our temperatures have been sitting at a balmy -15C ( 5F ) for the last 2
days and people are just insane! No more bundling up!! You can actually head
outside with a hoodie and a pair of thin gloves! and most folks don't even
use gloves!
We just went through a coldish snap here of -38C with a wind bringing us
down to -52C
(conversion = -35F and -62F in the wind) with a TON of snow.
What is sitting on the ground now is just over 4 feet of snow, what has
fallen is over 5 feet now since the end of October, most of it hitting us in
a matter of 5 days. Snow piles here sometimes top 20 feet tall or more, our
hills on the sides of our driveway just from our own shoveling are almost 6
feet high! LOL It snows just enough every day that one must shovel the walks
and driveways daily. (good exercise but....... there has GOT to be a better
way to get some exercise !! LOL)
Anyway, back to my accomplishing stuff, I can now get to my sewing area, I
can now see what I have to work with, I can now see what needs to be
finished and what can wait, and I can now start on my Christmas placemats
and table runners I was planning on making for my sons girlfriend and my
sister in law and my mom! I don't even need to go out and buy anything, I
have more than enough supplies here to do them. Now, its a matter of time.
I am a very very very overactive volunteer for our local Air Cadet squadron
and it seems to eat more time than any thing I have ever been involved in! I
love it though. I wont give it up. I just have to learn to hand piece now so
I can take it with me!

Oh oh ohhhh!!! AND AND AND I love my mail carrier !!! She brings me the most
divine goodies!!!! Inspiration comes in many ways, mine seems to be coming
from my mail carrier!!!
You know who you are :) and I sure hope I been keeping up on the thank you's
cuz I sure would feel like a schmuck if not. :-(

Nothing over the long woolen underwear?
snipped lots of cold stuff---
There should be a share system. We are still having record high
temps. Resisting the urge to turn on the AC again. Can't work
outside.

Before you begin the Christmas placemats gift, Fail Not! to pre-wash.
I've only kept two sets. The ones I made 20 years ago are still bright and
lovely. The ones that are only 2 years old are already dreary from fading
fabric. I am not a member of the pre-wash corps but you'd better do it this
time even if you don't usually. Trust me. Polly

Ummmm, KK, I didn't see "pants" anywhere in that list.
And this: "You can actually head outside with a hoodie and a pair of thin
gloves! "
See, right there might be part of your problem. You aren't wearing clothes.
Don't freeze your tutu off.
