As you can see, we've been up to our chairs in snow this winter. This photo was taken after the great ice storm of '14 when we lost power for 44 hours. Fortunately, we have a gas fireplace that kept us toasty for the duration, but I discovered that I get quite cranky when I've been without coffee for 72 hours. Not much on an inconvenience, really, when we knew people who were without power for five days. We've had snow on the ground since December which is quite unusual for us in the Philadelphia area. As a result, my morale and motivation have taken quite a hit the last month. I've hardly been at the sewing machine despite needing to keep going on the paper piecing class I'm taking. I've been working away at those bottles of beer (stitching only--I hardly ever drink the stuff!!) and am up to 62 (of 99) completed. I didn't make the deadline for the Smalls SAL in February. In other words, very little to show for my time....
