Snow here too

 We had about 1 1/2-2 inches over night, and now it's starting again, as predicted.  I don't want to be driving in this.  There is a meeting of my Fibre Art Divas this afternoon that I had said I would attend.  I won't be going, although socialization outside the house is a primary goal right now.

We have been very busy re-filling the freezer that I had worked so hard to empty last month.  But there have been several good buys in meat lately that couldn't be ignored.  Power cooking just takes a lot of energy--more than either of us has right now.  David is just coming back from a nasty chest cold, and I'm keeping busy carrying on.  But the work is getting done one way or another.

Funny you should have mentioned zig-saw puzzles Beth.  I've been buying smaller ones at Giant Tiger for $7.00,with 300-350 pieces, sometimes two puzzles in one box.  There are times that I just need that sort of focused but somewhat mindless distraction. I make them on my worktable downstairs and then swear at myself when I want to do something with fabric.

Unfortunately, I had a nasty burn from steam on my left hand recently. Blisters on 3 fingers, bandaged.  This has made power cooking and housework a bit of a challenge-to say nothing about keyboarding.  No hand sewing either.  But it's amazing what a difference a conscious decision to face the hardship with humour makes. A big change came when I ran the dishwasher twice in succession yesterday.  Over the past few years use of the machine has been strictly every second day--regardless.  But now-👍😅

Let it snow! Let it snow!  Stay warm.  Stay home!  Stay safe! Luv you!

  1. I use the white heavy boards from Dollarama (20"x30")to do the puzzles on and then i can cover with the second board to move safely or cover so you can do something on top, Cathy also has a puzzle matt that you can place the puzzle on and then roll up safely to remove or store without disrupting the pieces. Something to think about ... XX
