TA-DA! A major FO!

The Quilt!
Believe it or not it finally after three years FINISHED! I took the pictures on Grandmother’s bed because I couldn’t get far enough away from mine to get the picture. She has a suite sized room. I am tickled pink with this. It looks just as I hoped it would. There is a bit of work to do on the back, weaving in a few ends and some seam finishing but it’ll be on the bed tonight!This is mostly my beginning handspun yarns and yarns I made in workshops or those left from projects. Which is one reason it took three years. I wasn’t really making it with a deadline. But I’m glad to be finished. now I have to come up with a new Major project. Shouldn’t be too hard!

Keeping them occupied!

I lost the other picture of her watching the squirrels so you won’t find it below. Sorry, I’m still learning this. Anyway, I feed the birds and squirrels outside this door and it keeps her entertained. The cats love it, too.

Winter wonderland Everywhere!

Sis’s place in Rogue River, OR even has quite a lot. Hopefully signalling the end of their drought years. She says, “I guess I’ll need to go out and build a snowman in the front yard, doesn’t seem right not to.” πŸ™„

Randy’s hard work

Randy got the old Gimmy dug out but the county road was still not open by New Years Eve. You can see him standing there on the edge of the porch, admiring his handywork. He did a lot of shoveling this week!

Keeping warm

A view of the woodshed Monday morning before Randy started shoveling. We are okay in one of these storms. Wood heat, propane cook stove and water heater, gravity water system, propane lanterns. But the computer will not run on this gas! Oh well… πŸ˜› I got a lot of work done on my quilt! Have just one more square to weave and the border, which I’m going to crochet.
Granmother has been sleeping in the back kitchen, her main house needing electricty for heat. She is enjoying the adventure. :hehe:
