It snowed here in West Texas today and it is cold. I'm not too fond of cold and as you can see from this picture we live in an old house built in 1897 and it is impossible to get warm. (This picture is not of the snow today but the one we had around Christmas, hence the decorations. ) We pretty much stay in one or two rooms when it is cold as we can't afford to try and heat the whole house. It has no insulation in the attic and even though the walls are solid wood there is no insulation in them either. We did put energy efficient windows in it several years ago and I have caulked and caulked inside, and it is better but still cold.

So I am spending my time in the only warm room today working on CQ stuff. Made little books for two of the round robins I have joined and getting my blocks ready to mail off. If I can pull myself away from my warm spot I might take pictures of them later.

Here is my latest white CQ block. I am working on the third in between other projects. I decided to make it a musical themed block and am having fun with it. Not as many beads on it as the first two so far.

A Little About Me

Hi and Welcome! I am 50 years old, married with 2 girls Andrea and Crystal, and 3 grandchildren. A girl, Jesi who is 13 that we are raising and a boy, Christian, who is 6 and, lives with Mom. Andrew James or Peanut is 6months old and brother to Jesi. We live in a house built in 1897 that is not in the best of shape but we are working on it and we love it. It is a 2 story colonial style with big columns and a big wrap around front porch. We also have 6 cats, of which only part of are allowed in the house, and 5 dogs. A Momma dog and 4 puppies. She had 9, we gave one away, then they all came down with parvo. I lost 4 but was able to save 4. A heartrending experience but was just glad to be able to save any. No help from the vet as they want so much money but found some homeopathic remedies that actually worked. I also have a 7 month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that is my baby. She goes everywhere with me, sleeps under the covers with me, and is just the cutest thing ever.
