We Moved...

....Again. I hope this will be the last move for a long, long time. But we had to get out of the house we were in. We could not take it anymore.  It's been a lot of work, but we're trying to make it here. The sunrises are beautiful. And you can see thousands of stars in the sky at night here. Living in the city, we couldn't. 

We had a "historic" ice storm not long after we moved here. Our power was out for three days and nights. It was not fun. We are on a well, so we didn't even have water. The ice was thick. Online it said it was equivalent to the weight of a piano on the electric wires. 

Tree limbs were down (and power lines in some places) everywhere. 

I decided to start another quilt. (I need another project like I need a hole in my head). None of our things really match the color of the walls in this house. And, I really want  a new bedspread anyway. I dug through my fabric to see what I could find to match the walls in our bedroom. I found some green fabric that I've had forever. It pays to hold on to fabric from the early 90's. 😝

                I am doing one quilt block at a time. Probably will take me forever.

This is the first block done. It's called the Sawtooth Star. Only 67 more squares to go. 👀

And this is a sweater I had started in 2018. (Well, not this sweater. But the same pattern.) I couldn't find it anywhere. I know I had started it then realized I was using worsted weight yarn and it was coming out really huge. So maybe I frogged it. This one is coming out more to the right size. I have actually finished the neck edging, and sewn the ears on since I took this picture. I just need to sew buttons on for the eyes, and do the nose/mouth embroidery. I'm doing the bear. It's the Character Sweater pattern, by Yarnspirations.  I used to love crocheting baby things. But the group I was in (which, I will admit I did get burned out from it now and then) doesn't send baby things any more. So I don't really have anyone to make baby items for. But I decided to start making a stockpile of them, for if we ever have any grandbabies.
