I am in North Alabama, by way of Frisco, Texas, and a native Floridian. All that is to say I am thin blooded. I do not like cold weather much. I would rather it be 100 degrees and sunny (I guess as long as I have a/c). When it is cold I get chilled to the bone and can't seem to get warm no matter how many layers I put on. If you have seen the news you know that the south has had its fair share of winter weather this year. A couple of week ago the school district here delayed school by two hours a few days and that worked well overall. This week, however, they cancelled school Tuesday and then Wednesday. Wednesday (today) it just rained all day until about 4 pm and then the winter weather finally hit. Needless to say, school has already been cancelled for tomorrow. Here are some snow pictures of the first round on Tuesday.

Knowing I had a fun day hunkered down I decided to practice my needle turning appliqué. I normally use freezer paper and fold the fabric over and starch it for a nice crisp edge but want to do some more elaborate pieced and really need to be able to needle turn to do those. Here is a little wall hanging of a sea turtle I picked up in Florida this Christmas while visiting family.
I do know that when doing any kind of appliqué you should not sew it to your robe :0) So much for that project today. I wound up doing laundry and updating
my web site instead!

What are you doing to stay occupied these days?
