Gryffindor in the snow

[delphipsmith]

Mr. Psmith has mentioned several times wanting a Gryffindor scarf, so a couple of weeks ago I commissioned irishredlass to make one (she is so talented!!) for his birthday. It arrived a couple of days ago, and although his birthday isn't until the 27th, today's forecast (18" of snow, low tonight of 8, below zero wind chill) inspired me to give it to him early. I'm glad I did so -- not only is he ridiculously happy with it/proud of it, but we have a foot of snow already and it's still coming down like nobody's business! Here he is in our back yard, resplendent in his House colors :)

He is dashing -- through the snow, shortly after this was taken.

I don't wear scarves but if I did I'd dig out my mom's old knitting needles and see if I could whip out one as a challenge to myself. Although I don't know when I'd have the time especially as I have a quilt still waiting to be finished.

Ooh, quilting! Do you hand quilt (always impressive)? My mom is a bit of a quilter and I've done some sample squares and a baby quilt. Would love to tackle something big.

I've only made one quilt. Pieced it with machine but want to quilt it by hand. I've only done a sampler block. Check out the 3 posts that come up with the 'quilt' tag below for lots of pictures of my masterpiece that's been on hold for 20 yrs in the attic.

I also used to cross-stitch and did some soft doll sculpture.
