We had our southern version of Winter arrive last month. It might not look like much but we were stuck at home for four days as they don't plow all the streets in our city. It did finally warm up and melt away.
My aloe plant surprised me by blooming! It started in January
The birds were not amused at how cold it was:
Inside was nice and warm. I started quilting the Mystery Quilt from our guild challenge. Do you see my little helper watching over me?
Here's a closer look:
When our son was home from college, he managed to lose a sock in the laundry. It made a reappearance a few weeks later, attached to some sheets I had washed at the same time.
I put the sock in a safe place until my son came home for a visit.
The aloe blooms continue to provide pretty colors:

Here is the finished Mystery Quilt. It's a lovely pattern and very dramatic when done in neutrals.
The binding was rolled over from the backing and is a subtle mauve color:
Today it will be pushing 70 degrees outside. This is my collection of jackets, hats, scarves, and mittens. I never know which combination I'll have to use to go for my daily walks. lol
I tried my hand at making hand pies. They were a hit for supper!
The sky was gorgeous the morning I took this photo:
I got a farmer's box of fruits and vegetables in the mail. It's a part of a program for seniors that I get with my insurance plan and they send them out once per year. I love veggies like these! Kale and broccoli will only be eaten by me, so I don't have to share! hahaha
I am toying with making something odd with these poor old dolls that I got at a local thrift shop. I hope to make them into something very different and odd. Like me! hahaha
That's the latest for today. Until next time, enjoy the process and craft your heart out!
