Winterlude.

With winter comes challenges of the season, also Winterlude. It is the celebrations of all things winter: skating on a frozen pond, playing hockey, sledding down a hill after every snowfall. Going for a walk to the local coffee shop for a cup of something hot and Beavertails. It is a sugary sweet treat, here up north in Canada. The best part is walks in nature and Chickadees singing at the top of their voices, they are the happiest birds we know. Friendly too, will come and eat sunflower seeds from one's hands!

Twenty pairs of hand warmers are finished and went to their new home. Finally got them all done, yesterday. They are warmed in the microwave and popped into the gloves we wear, it keeps the hands warm for a good 45 minutes. They are reusable and one only need to keep the dry. 

The red fabric and white are cut for the sashings blocks for Friends of Baltimore.

The whites more was cut than what the pattern require, 1017. The reds 1000. The patter calls for slightly less. Will put the two halves together and sew them at a later date.  

Kitty kept me company, while the triangles got counted.
