Except for this one, all the newer photos are still on my camera, which is upstairs and I'm too tired to go get it. So here's a 'contest' for you: I'll send a pack of fat quarters to the first person who correctly guesses what this is a photo of. Be sure to include your e-mail address so I can contact you for your snail mail address. Send to me at lento@chorus.net.
I've been baking cookies 'around' several repairman visits to fix the oven. It's been an eye-opener: No wonder our landfills are overflowing! The stove is only 15 years old, but the manufacturer no longer makes replacement thermostats. DH called every dealer within a hundred miles and finally found one that had it in 'old inventory.' Instead of $1500 for a new stove, we spent $240 and it's good as new.
Today I potted some amaryllis bulbs for post-Christmas bloom; once the tree and decorations are down, the house feels kind of bare, and that's when we need a reminder that things do still flower. Even though it's been ten days since our storm, the snow is still sticking to the north sides of the trees. It's really beautiful -- it outlines their interesting shapes.
Now I need to get a few more rounds of knitting done on an under-the-wire Christmas gift.
Gratitudes:
such good friends
cuddly kitties
nice dinner out with DH

I believe they are toy mice...
You're right, Suze! I was buying cat food, and this plastic bag of cat toy mice was on the counter -- it was so weird-looking, I hauled out my cell phone and took a picture. Please send me your snail mail address at lento@chorus.net, and I'll send you your fat quarters. Do you have a favorite color combination, or type of fabric (as in batiks, homespuns, etc.)?
