<\/a><\/p>\nHere are the petunias I told you were taking over a corner of the greenhouse. I am having so much fun sewing these. \u00a0I am collecting William Morris designed fabric, \u00a0I think I told you about it earlier. \u00a0I get six fat quarters of it sent to me each month. \u00a0I never know what colors I will get, but that\u2019s \u00a0the fun of it. \u00a0I am also collecting Jane Austen inspired fabrics which work very well with the William Morris fabric and with reproduction fabrics I already have, I am finding many combinations to put together. \u00a0It will make a colorful, patchwork style of quilt or quilts when I am done. My three favorite months of the year are coming up. \u00a0I just love Spring and seeing all the flowers and trees blooming and watching the birds at all our birdhouses building their nests and raising their families. \u00a0Winter never seems very long anymore, but we did have snow this year and we are expecting more […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/snicklefritz.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/snicklefritz.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/snicklefritz.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snicklefritz.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snicklefritz.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13621"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/snicklefritz.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13621\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13648,"href":"https:\/\/snicklefritz.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13621\/revisions\/13648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/snicklefritz.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snicklefritz.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snicklefritz.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\nThis geraniums has thrived all Winter.
\n<\/a>
\nGeraniums rate up there as one of my favorite flowers. \u00a0See the little gas stove in the corner that has kept the greenhouse toasty warm all Winter even though it isn\u2019t insulated at all? \u00a0Best buy \u00a0we ever made. \u00a0We just came upon it at Rural King as an end of season sale and we bought it on a whim. \u00a0So glad we did.
\n<\/a>
\nThis \u00a0 geranium I have over wintered a couple of years. \u00a0It loves the greenhouse, too.
\nSo nice to have flowers blooming like this in the middle of the Winter. \u00a0Really boosts my spirits to see them.
\n<\/a>
\nThe Poinsettia is still going strong. \u00a0More like a little tree now and will need to be repotted when warm weather gets here.
\n<\/a>
\nDavid likes to do puzzles in the Winter and he has done three one thousand piece puzzles so far. \u00a0All by himself as I don\u2019t enjoy doing them, but I love to see them when they are all finished. \u00a0This puzzle is from the book, The Country Diary of an Edwardian Woman. \u00a0Winter edition. \u00a0He has put together the Spring, Summer and Autumn puzzles also.
\n<\/a>
\nAfter David started doing these puzzles I looked up the book and found one online. \u00a0This woman was a wonderful artist and roamed the woods, hedges and fields around her home writing about all the animals, birds and vegetation she came upon on her walks. \u00a0She really makes me think of Beatrix Potter who painted animals and birds she saw around her family\u2019s vacation home and later on her own country home. They were of the same generation, I believe.
\nWhile David does puzzles, I order fabric and sew on my new project.
\n<\/a>
\nI bought this book a while ago and have made several little quilts from it, but now I have a new plan.
\n<\/a>
\nUsing this pattern I plan to make several small quilts from it and to later sew them together into a larger quilt. \u00a0Here are some of the quilts I have made so far.<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n
\n<\/a>
\nHere are some e of the William Morris fabric I have received.
\n<\/a>
\nAnd here are some Jane Austen fabrics I have ordered.
\nDoing this and I already have Christmas gifts I am working on and I am expecting a patriotic quilt kit to arrive any day so I keep busy, but it is all fun to me. \u00a0I also am knitting every time I sit down to watch tv. \u00a0I cannot stand to sit and do nothing. \u00a0I am also pedaling an hour or two on my little peddling machine. \u00a0Keeps my legs limber if nothing else. I watched Jurassic World \u00a0and a move called \u201c FALL\u201d on Netflix last night while I peddled and put the equivalent of twenty \u00a0thousand steps on the machine. \u00a0That movie, \u201cFALL\u201d was so good, I stayed up until one-thirty to see the ending. David went to bed at 8:30 last night. \u00a0He said he hit a wall, but I think he is still worn out after his stroke. I am glad he is taking a week off.
\nWell, that\u2019s all from me for today. Hope you are having a wonderful ending to Winter and that Spring weather will be here for all of us soon. Unless you are reading this in a different hemisphere then you are going into your autumn which seems so weird to me, but very interesting, too. \u00a0You people who live in Australia, I have \u00a0dreamed of visiting your country ever since I was \u00a0a girl and did a report on Duckbilled Platypuses. \u00a0I probably won\u2019t make it there this side of Heaven, but I do love your country. Bye, everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
