Free Patterns, Christmas /Winter Stitching, Orphan Blocks from Canadian Needle Nana

Below are a few early winter photos while the snow is a novelty. While walking the dogs, I'm finding the air so wonderful and bracing. But I am a little shocked with just how cold it is already in the season. It was minus 12 with strong wind gusts that took my breath away one day, but it's back to mild and kind of damp feeling today.

Here is my usual kitchen window photo; it was dark enough very early for the big garage light to stay on. That's another thing; here in the Northern Hemisphere we ...

November Colours, Red Blackbird House, Interesting Podcasts from Canadian Needle Nana

There are heavy frosts most mornings now and we have our first snowstorm warning for today. Who knows, perhaps it won't materialize. But it has snowed a tiny bit as I found out one very early morning out with the dogs. So far it has been melting. This morning most of the pond had frozen over, just a light skimming though. Home we would say it "caught over".

I noticed how much colour is standing out in the landscape and still to be enjoyed before the white blankets everything. Here are my latest photos and these may be my ...

Cake, EPP Stars, Pumpkin Mat, Blackbird Designs Book, Grand Plan from Canadian Needle Nana

Well, it's November, a harder month it seems and more than a few steps closer to winter here in Ontario. We had a week of heavy rain which I think the earth needed but there were driving winds with it and so cold. It's freezing overnight regularly now here in the Ottawa valley.

But I'm very thankful those rains have restored our little pond. It is very muddy looking from all the downpours. It will be interesting next spring if I hear the sound of peepers and frogs, etc. because we keep wondering where did they go ...

Crochet & Stitching September 25 from Joy of Quilting

Stitches in September

A very short update this month.

This month has been challenging.

Of course no one can expect to keep going well all the time.

My head has been rather up and down. Migraine head. Unable to focus.

It's not nice.

But

I did have a few good days too. And have got some Stitching done. But nowhere near as much as normal for me.

I have started this Small Baby Blanket for my Neighbours new Grandson due in November.

Checking over this post I can see I've taken a picture of the above Blanket ...

Thrifting, Autumn Tablemat Finish, Found Forlorn Pumpkin Blocks from Canadian Needle Nana

Below is Brian Stauffer's "Winds of Change", a marvelous painting for The New Yorker cover on October 13. I wondered if this could be worked into a design for a quilt or embroidered piece. I do like curlicues. And I also wondered about what he meant by featuring these two things together. The noisy leaf blower and the beautiful design of nature. What do you think he's telling us?

LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color's conversation starter this week was how we deal with fallen leaves. I don't use a leaf blower but Tony does as ...

Physical Therapy And Quilting from Quilting My Way

This morning, I wanted to leave by 9 am. I had to drop off the family history at the post office for Bryan. Then I found out 2 pages didn't make it in the envelope so will send it later. Then I stopped for breakfast and tea.

Got to my appointment on time. Chatted with Bob about life in general for me. He suggested I might like to chat with a physiologist. I tend to agree with him. My emotions are all over the place and I'm not doing much anymore like I usually do. I sent a ...

Love the appliqué buttons by Judy Warner

First things first. I was at PT today. I took Bob some veggies from the garden. Afterwards I went to moms for the applique group meeting. I had been there first, but no one was there. So, I really didn't expect much when I went. I arrive to find Micheale there with Jeanine. Jeanine didn't have anything to work on, so I gave her mom's block that I was working on. Conversation went to the back basting issues. Jeanine doesn't do back basting, and she didn't know what to do. We explained it to her ...

Dresden Dreaming, Pumpkin Making, Free Patterns, Flower Garden Tablecloth from Canadian Needle Nana

There are still blossoms to be spied on my walks. Here is the late flower whose bloom mimics a frog and this one is housing a little creature made visible by the sun shining through. What a pretty colour!

And the Fox Tails are attracting a lot of bees still too.

Overnight it seems our paths look like this now in open areas...an ocean of leaves. Petey is staying on with us and we are so happy to have him. Tony always had two dogs so this is like old times. And Ned is in heaven having Petey around ...

Interesting Day from Quilting My Way

This morning, I needed to go to my PT appointment. First, we had a war game, which I could only play part of. I played for the first 25 mins, then when I got to the appointment, I played another 10 mins.

Texted Bob and told him he needed to come and get the veggies because I couldn't carry them. I brought the walking poles that I borrowed from mom. I was told I can try and walk on them around the neighborhood. I was going to, but then on the way home, got a text saying my credit ...

Scrappy Pumpkins, Cross Stitching Crows, Homemade Bread Stuffing, Talking Temu from Canadian Needle Nana

This is the Smoke Tree in September. I like the mulberry and lavender colours the leaves have this time of year.

And of course, the wild New England Asters are also purples and so pretty.

Thank you for lamenting with me about the loss of our little pond. It is sad, especially for all the critters and birds that lived, drank and bathed there. And though its been raining off and on the last two days, most of September continued the rainless streak. We've had frost warnings and I covered my pots on the veranda twice now but didn ...
