Don't like the Weather?

We have a saying around Middle Tennessee.  "If you don't like the weather, just wait a day."  At this time yesterday it was 75.  Right now, at 3:30 p.m. it's 45.  Tomorrow night it's going down to the high 20s.  I think we will miss the worst of the ice and snow, thanks goodness.  But our family in Arkansas might feel the brunt of the winter storm.  The other branch of the family is headed to Hawaii, woohoo!!

Anticipating that the day would be dreary (that was an understatement!), I headed down to the "studio" early to finish Clue 1 of Bonnie Hunter's Mystery before Clue 2 is introduced tomorrow morning.  I'm DONE WITH ONE! 

The neutral I'm using is a confetti print with all the colors in it.  Looking forward to the second clue.  I need to address cleaning and decorating tomorrow so it will probably be Monday at guild before I get the cutting done.  I plan to work on it at our small group Christmas retreat that starts Tuesday.  Three days of sewing, eating, laughter, and loving.  Can't wait!!

Tuesday Morning

Greetings on this foggy, wet, chilly Tuesday morning.  At least it's not white -- yet!  We had some large fluffy flakes about 2 yesterday but by 3 it had changed to pellet sleet.











Temperatures rose by bedtime and all the sleet is gone.  A second wave is expected later today.  Could be our first significant snow of the season.  We'll see .....

Cold gray days like this are best spent in the sewing room.  However, mine is in the basement with minimal heat so it will be a game to see how long I last.  I really need to finish Tall Tree.  At least the handwork can be done in the warmth of the living room.

Look for a new feature -- A Tip for Tuesday -- later today when I begin a somewhat regular series of tips that I have found helpful in keeping myself organized, improving my accuracy, saving money, and having fun in the sewing room.  I'd love to hear some of your tips, too.
