WIP Tuesday - Snowy and Cold to Balmy and Beautiful!

I really shouldn't be surprised that February is a bipolar month - cold and full of snow for a few days, then nice and gorgeous the next few days! I'm ready for winter to be over, and only have nice days, but then we hit the 'too hot to move' summer... I do love curling up on the couch with a soft blanket, my dogs, and a book, but I pretty much do that year round. It's just in the winter that the dogs come in covered in snow and try to snuggle with me and those are usually some cold and wet paws and faces! If I'm sewing when they come back inside, they like to run to the sewing room, still wet and cold, and sit on my bare feet. Or, they come in covered in mud and tracking paw prints all over. Thanks, guys. 

My nap buddies

I guess I should stop worrying about the weather and get back to the sewing! I have 2 projects I should finish this week, then I only have a wallet order and my sample wallet. More test patterns keep coming up, so it's nice that I'm not swamped with orders, but I really need to start sewing up some of my precut Moondance and crayon rolls. I also grabbed a bunch of cut and sew sets on a destash, so I should start sewing them up...
