Still no snow. I am still hoping. It used to be that when the circus was in town, we got our biggest snow. This year the circus isn't coming until April, so maybe I should just give up hope for this year!!! ;-(
These are the first couple of blocks of the Baltimore Halloween quilt. They are fun blocks because of the subject. The center block took forever. The smaller side blocks are going faster. So far I have 3 blocks done, just 10 and the borders to go!!! Almost done!!! ;-) NOT!!!
I love this little owls expression!!!
These are my alpaca socks. They are so soft and warm. Just plain K3 P1 rib socks.
There is a cat up the tree. The one that is upright in the center of the picture. But the main thing to look at is the silly Westie dog up the leaning trunk. He is about 8 feet in the air. he was up twice that high when I saw him, but by the time I grabed the camera he was on the way down. Sorry the picture isn't better, but it was a point and shoot NOW, or miss the picture completely.
I am still reading Liberal Facism. It is very dense vocabulary. Wish it was on the Kindle so I could easily look things up, but it was bought pre-Kindle. I will finish it one day, but it isn't a fun read.
I finished Slobbering Love Affair. It is a very good review on how the liberal mainstream press elected/appointed the President they wanted. It shows how little choice the press actually gave to the public in this election.
I read Inkheart. It is a good fantasy book. When the father reads outloud, the characters in the book actually come to life. It is very good. I hope the movie does it justice. I am now reading the second in the trilogy, Inkspell. In the second one, they readers are "read" into the book. Also very good. The third book is Inkdeath. I have that one on the bedside table waiting.
These are puppy dogs that wouldn't get near each other without growling when I had 3 dogs. Now that it is just the two of them. They are together much more. They are even playing some. It is so interesting to watch the dynamic change between them, with Chad gone.
Well off to read Inkspell!!! Hope to finish it tomorrow.
Chat later

WOw! You're Baltimore Halloween quilt is gorgeous!
Susan, the Baltimore Halloween blocks are wonderful! I was tempted when I saw them.
I'm glad the Chelsea isn't missing Chad as much.
Those quilt blocks are AWESOME!!!!!
I had to laugh at "dog in the tree"! I could see my three doing that if they could figure out how to jump into the first branch. It is funny how the dynamic of the pack changes when one members passes away. Fiona had to become pack leader when Skye died & everything is do different around here. She isn't as fussy as Skye was, but she definitely has her limit when the other two are getting into trouble.
