Getting ready for the storm.......

We still have hugh piles of snow in our yard and our street still hasn't seen a plow from last week's hugh storm, and now we're being told to brace ourselves for another one.

Yesterday we spent a couple of hours over at the local hospital so DH could have the xrays taken that his doctor ordered before he sees the lung specialist on Jan 11, but after that we went to the grocery store to pick up what we'll need for a few days. I can tell you the grocery stores have not yet recovered from the last storm either.....there was NO milk in the case, and much of the produce area had been picked clean too.....a sad situation indeed, this next storm could really create a lot of problems.

Once we returned home from that excursion, I spent some time working on the new tigereye bracelet, and its looking pretty good. I have finished the butterfly shape and I'm now working out from there to the ends and edges. The new light I'm working under certainly makes the work easier!!


As I was watching the Kennedy Center Awards last night (SO AWEWOME!!!!!), I started stitching the new little doggie pattern we've been working on.

I also finished another afghan square to send off to Squares4Survivors. I'll probably get it into the mail tomorrow morning. This picture is what the latest one looks like.

Today we'll be making a quick trip to the fabric store so I can start working on the required 96 arcs for the wedding ring portion of the quilt for my daughter. I set up a piece of card stock with 1 inch squares of all of the blue prints I have on hand to take along with me to match colors too. I notice that I'm real short on light colored prints, so that is what I'm looking for. I also need to get a pale yellow to use for the squares at the end of each arc.

After the fabric store, we'll fill the gas tank in the car as we don't like it to get much below half full in a storm situation.

And I just remembered this morning that when we did our jewelry inventory, we pulled some pieces to be scrapped and I need to get them torn apart and returned to the raw materials inventory for the year end books, so I'll be spending some time there today too.

And so we're off!
