High Fiber—Back To Normal Again.

After the long trip home from Golden, Colorado, I had to get up in the morning to go to Vintage Stitchers. It was worth it, though. Brenda had this wonderful tesselation quilt to show off. She's putting the binding on now.

Rebecca has started a new appliqué project (of course)! She has all the pieces glued on and ready to appliqué down.

Carol made some witch shoes to go with her witch cross-stitch:

Then she brought out this great sampler quilt she's making for a friend. She just needs to put a border on.

Meanwhile, back on the ranch...

The sink and toilet have been installed in the powder room, along with the doors and the door to the master bedroom.

I made some progress on the Dogwood Blossoms Cardigan on the trip home, but was too exhausted to work on it steadily. I will be ready to do the steeks in just a few more rounds. The day after Vintage Stitchers I came down with a bad cold and haven't felt like knitting.

We had a major snow storm the last few days. There was a tree down across the road yesterday. We got about 3' of snow over several days. This is very unusual weather for us.

On the baby front, here's Soren, ready for his first half-marathon:

And Zachary can pull himself up to standing. He'll be walking soon! Daphne is enjoying having a little brother. (Just wait until he starts getting into her stuff!)

What's on my needles: Dogwood Blossoms Cardigan, almost ready to steek.
What's on my wheel: Full Circle Roving in "Pigeon."
What's on my iPad: D. E. Stephenson's The House of the Deer from Audible
What's in my wine glass: Fish Eye Merlot 2011. (Not a very appetizing name for a very nice wine.)

Comment by Peggy Stuart on November 15, 2012 at 6:02am: Hi, Jo! 3' of snow in two days is unusual, and we rarely get snow this early. It usually doesn't come until after Thanksgiving, and then not much until around Christmas.

Comment by KnitWhich? on November 14, 2012 at 3:34pm: First, I love the quilts! They are all beautiful! And the witch shoes are fabulous.

Your grandkids are absolutely adorable. I love the look on Zachary's face!

3' of snow is not normal? I thought you got lots of snow.

Comment by cherylbwaters on November 13, 2012 at 11:19am: I think Texas lost its right to secede when we rejoined the Union. Texas has become so pro big business and not very friendly to its employees that I just want to throw up.

Comment by wendy on November 13, 2012 at 4:48am: Cheryl, what? You mean you don't want to secede? SOL

Comment by Jean on November 12, 2012 at 10:01pm: The kids are so cute. All the sewing is wonderful I can't get over how many quilts every one gets done.
The wall hanging that Rebecca is doing will you ask her please for the name of the pattern and where she bought it? I'd live to do that one.

Comment by cherylbwaters on November 12, 2012 at 9:11pm: You know, Peggy, I used to be proud tobe a Texan, but the longer I stay here the more embarrassed I get.

Comment by Phyllis D. Wright on November 12, 2012 at 8:57pm: Sorry your down with a cold hope you're feeling a bit better. Love the progress on the bathroom and door. Zachary looks like Mr. Personality Enjoy the young people ; - )

Comment by Peggy Stuart on November 12, 2012 at 2:43pm: Elaine, those hip boots would have to reach my chest! It's melting now. I'm feeling better now. I'm at the coughing stage.

Cheryl, LOL! I guess we were the reddest in this election. Even redder than Texas!

Comment by cherylbwaters on November 12, 2012 at 12:13pm: Okay, I told King you had 3' of snow in just the last few days and his response is, "Those red states are really, really cold right now!" lol
