The update to the last post include the following items:

The wood boiler did not spit out any more sparks.

The schools were open at the usual time despite the fact that almost every other surrounding district was delayed by 2 hours or closed entirely.

Bob returned home with only a slight delay.

The baby blanket only has 5 more rows on one side of the border to be completed - this will be accomplished this evening.  I have it in my head to do a light felting on it.  This will make for a windproof cover, suitable for laying over a carseat carrier while transporting little one to and fro.

Much silk has been dyed.  The digital camera is creating dark images for some reason (it has been so gloomy here that even adjusting camera settings isn't helping).  More work tomorrow to get these new items on the webpage.

The temperatures have rocketed downward and the wind is absolutely howling.  It might now be an appropriate time for Irish coffee.

Peace & Love,
