Blizzard stitching

So SAL Sunday comes along and in blows old man winter with a blizzard the likes of which we haven't seen in a while.  But it's typical for us to get a couple of good dumps of snow in March.  Hubby was out ice-fishing at a Derby when it blew in, it was so bad that the guides/organizers had to drive out onto the lake with the GPS to guide them all off the ice because they couldn't see their hands in front of their faces.  And then once they were off the ice they couldn't start for home because they couldn't see to drive, and the highways were closed.  So their little fishing party, piled into the camper...fired up the heat and made themselves some food and sat around and talked until the worst of it blew over.

For me.....well it was a good day.  I sat and stitched on Humboldt Coast and watched the snow falling.  Slid Breaking dawn 1, and then Breaking Dawn 2 into the blue-ray and had a great afternoon. I got a new mug this weekend that I had to share....I love these owls!  I love owls in general, so I'm so glad they're in vogue this year! :)

So this is the progress so far on HC, my Sunday SAL with Kati.  It's coming along...slowly but surely.  I love it...it's actually starting to look a little bit like something, you can see the waves now (sort of...lol).  Didn't have much of a chance to stitch at all the rest of the week, so that's the only progress that I have to show this week.

Had to share this pic of Lulu looking not too impressed with the weather, it's hard for a little dog to pee in big snow!  lol

Great progress and I love owls too. poor pup I hope it melts and she's able to pee! I still laugh when I think of someone who got their kids dogs for Christmas. When the snow melted the poor dogs didn't know where to go pee! They'd find the shade where it hadn't melted and pee there.
Hubs has just informed me its snowing outside.
