Good morning everyone.
Bit of a warm up today, much warmer than yesterday...still below freezing though.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning everyone.
Best of luck today hicks!

Warming up today as well, snow on its way.

Ukrainian Christmas Eve tonight - we will have our son over for supper - no gifts or anything like that, just some traditional meatless foods, some singing and visiting.

Mornin', TG!

Yes, it is:http://butterick.mccall.com/b5954-pr...hp?page_id=147

Here's what clinched it for me: I love just about all the clothes this gal sews for herself, the way she puts outfits together, and here she is with a review of that pattern:
http://sewing.patternreview.com/review/pattern/116279

I love that site for the thorough reviews these gals post! All you have to do is type in a pattern number in the little box on the top right above "patterns" (which you may have to bring up), and voila! Everyone who ever used it and their pictures wearing the garments!
But you probably knew all that already, right?

Wow, that's beautiful, Lynn, and I can just see you in it!

Hello folks!

Just hiding under the covers til the house warms up.

Sorry I haven't caught up with your posts.

My friend from Kitchener came down for a day and we were a packing machine!

99% of surfaces in living-room and kitchen- packed and/or purged.
"Keeping" boxes delivered to the barn.
"Getting-rid-of" boxes delivered to Goodwill.
One couch sold.
Chandelier removed.
Excess tables moved to basement.
About 1/2 of Christmas stuff sorted, purged and reorganized.
2 estimates for cleaning and "putting back together" the basement.
Appointment with chiropractor this morning.

Whew! But, looks like the fireplace needs help, going to turn the furnace on.

Wish me luck on keeping up this pace for the rest of the week!

Good morning, everyone!!

22Hicks, all the best with your appointment today!!

Avon....omg...you make me look like a slacker with my purging! How nice that your Friend showed up to help; it's always fun to do something together, isn't it? Wish I were there to help...of course, you would have to have provided wine. Keep up the great work!!

Everyone else, have a wonderful day! Temps going up to +2 by Saturday.....woohoooooooo!!!!!
..maybe some of that white crap will die!!!!


Only because I HAVE this tea set! LOL!!

[SillyLoocie]

Well, it sure is cold! My oh My! I don't have to go far today. Thank goodness for that. The above picture makes me want a cup of tea.
Have a nice day everyone.

(Hope Hicks is doing alright in her surgery)

Morning Loocie

[Lynn49]

Wow, that's beautiful, Lynn, and I can just see you in it!

Aw, shucks, Sis...{{{kicks snow}}}...I hope my sewing can do it justice. I sure don't have to go very far to find fabric, though!!!

[Lynn49]

Just checking in to see if Hicks has reported back after her appointment with her surgeon...I hope it all went well..a little worried that she hasn't posted here...

Hicks, I hope you got a good report from your surgeon!!!

[Natalka]

I came by here to check the same thing, Lynn.

Hicks, sure hope all went well!

Goodness, it's almost 10 and I'm still full from supper - it was a good meal! Son went home full and tired, with a big bag of goodies. Husband is napping on couch, kitties are napping somewhere - oh, one is at my feet.

Goodnight, everyone!

It's above my age in Kelvin...

[Darth Penguin]

...oh the days I've been tempted to wear my long summer dresses!

I just wish I could find dresses that don't swamp me...I'm a correctly sized penguin and most are for super tall emus...

[Darth Penguin]

finally got my house warmed after the drop from -2 to -28 over the early part of the week...

And now we are back at -8... and the house is too warm...

[danger_dan]
