Cold, cold cold! Did I say COLD!?

I know it is cold when Sweetie Boy stays dressed!!  7 degrees here with a wind chill of -15!  That is a little cold!!  We are being asked to conserve electricity today.  Dont you love the bed head/ hat hair!

I am snuggled in a nest on the couch sipping my hot tea and nibbling a warm muffin.  Even with preheating my car and my LL Bean thinsulate lined boots and wool socks my toes are still painful and cold.  

I fed the birds ( we fill 2 feeders every day right now) and put out shelled peanuts and chopped apple and oranges for the squirrels.  My so called "squirrel proof" feeders dont stop these squirrels.  Ozzy and Riley enjoy watching their antics.  They hang upside-down to nibble from the tiny holes in the feeders.  Crazy rodents!

Ozzy loves to snooze on this table with his head on the window and heat coming out of the radiator below the window.

This "ozzy kitty" is visiting today and bouncing about.  This was the 2 seconds he was quiet and still.  

All the buddies that go in this basket are now covering my feet and lap, on top of my nice warm soft llama and wool blanket.

We are not going to the library this morning.  Too cold even for me. Pandas are attacking me now.

Refueling with warm chai tea.

The buddies are warming up my feet.  When I move my legs the buddies all fall down on the floor and he has to pick them up.  I was just scolded for hurting the buddies.  He is threatening to take one of them to the hospital. 

This sweater is mostly finished.  I need to sew on 3 more buttons and weave in ends then wash and block it.  I did wear it as is to work on Sunday.  It is very warm!!

Here are the KAL Kate Shawls from our first night.  I am thrilled to be in the lead, but it wont last!  I started early so I could show what it will look like. We had 2 more knitters start this over the weekend and one fairly new knitter has given up the tiny needles and fine yarn and exchanged the not used skeins for a thicker yarn and bigger needle.  

We just used the stapler and made some little books.  He is fetching supplies as I sit and give instructions!!

Planning to snuggle on he couch with my knitting for the morning!
