It’s snowing here … a lot.  We’re supposed to get somewhere between 12 and 16 inches over the next 24 hours.  I’d guess we have about 8 inches now and it’s getting after it.  The thing about snow in Wyoming, especially in Laramie, is that it’s usually accompanied by wind.  Lots of wind.  But today the snow is falling straight down - that’s when we get a lot.  All the roads in and out of town are closed, so I’ll have to get special permission to drive on the closed highway to get home tonight.  I do so love winter in Wyoming.

Last weekend was amazingly productive.  And by weekend, I mean Sunday.  Saturday was busy with working at the quilt store and going to a fancy black tie dinner thingy for work.  The hubby looks fabulous in a tux, but otherwise it was your run of the mill black tie affair.  I’m really getting jaded in my old age.

On Sunday we did some errands in town and then I came home and sewed most of the day while I was doing those lovely household chores like laundry and cooking.  I worked a bit on my Christmas Celebration - I’m still piecing those spikey things, but it’s coming along.  Then I spent some time working on a project that will be on-going until sometime in February.  I joined a group at the quilt store - Club 72 - and there are different projects associated with being in the club.  Right now the project is called Tea Time.  It’s a queen size quilt that you get one kit for each month.  So far it hasn’t been hard, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get much more complicated.

After working on the tree skirt, I needed something kind of mindless, and this totally fit the bill.  These fabrics aren’t necessarily going to work in my house, but I have someone in mind to give this to when it’s finished.

Part of me loves the idea of having just a little bit every month that I have to do and then having a gift when it’s all said and done.  It makes me feel productive and organized, even though we know that isn’t true.

And since we’re talking about productivity, it’s time for a confession.  I have a hat on the needles - Jared’s Turn a Square - and I have about 4 rounds left and it will be done.  I haven’t picked it up all week.  Why?  I love the yarn and the pattern, but I’ve just been completely unproductive.  Maybe tonight.  There’s nothing like a good snow storm to make me crave my knitting.  I’ll let you know.
