We awoke to this lovely sight. By the time I left for my dental appointment at 10:45, it was gone. This afternoon, another layer of the white stuff covered our neighborhood. It turned very cold and so the snow is still there. We are due for temps in the low 20s overnight so it will be icy by morning.

I have been working away on the bridge piece; and I am at that point where I am having a love/hate relationship with it. This morning, I almost gave up on it.

This is the new color palette:

Sometime during the night or early this morning, I realized that I needed to ditch the earthy colors and go with some brighter colors. When I started out to make this piece, I wanted it to be fun and fanciful so I spent the morning pulling out new fabrics that would look reminiscent of an imaginative landscape. I also felt that I needed a bit more order so all the squares are the same size. The whole background is cut, placed and fused.

My next plan is to embellish and collage some interesting things to the background and then get the quilting done this week-end.

I feel like such a slug. I was at the dentist office for quite a while so I missed my morning walk with Mr C and Scooter. This afternoon, I begged off going out in the cold temps and snow. My Pilates class will probably be canceled in the morning because of icy roads. For my sanity, I will just have to go out and walk in the cold.
