The weather has taken a turn for the cold and I twisted my ankle and well, I already mentioned the puppy, all of which are
conspiring to keep us at home. I've been reading The Heretic's Daughter, which is excellent, historical fiction about the Salem witch trials
written by a
descendant of some of the
accused and The
Magic of Fire, a beautiful book about hearth cooking, with lots of recipes and folk lore. We made cookies and bean stew with beans I ordered from
Rancho Gordo.
Rebecca sewed a skirt using the free pattern at
http://www.oliverands.com/.
I made 2 pairs of mittens and one pair of fingerless gloves out of felted sweaters. The mitten pattern is from Warm
Fuzzies by
Betz White.
Sophie woke up one morning recently and said "I want to sew a pair of pajama pants!" And competent kid that she is--here they are.

Wow. I'm all caught up now on your blogs. What a R E A L L Y busy couple of weeks you've had! And, what wonderful things you've been doing - from the blankets for the Linus Project, to fostering the new puppy, to entertaining at the twins party and so much more! You make me proud.
