Kitty Stitchin'

It was another lovely, quiet weekend, spent snuggled up at home with DH and the kittes. I curled up on the couch in the Ladies' Parlour and worked on the afghan. You'll notice that both Quality Control Inspectors were present to test that its thermal properties were up to scratch.




We also had draperies installed on Saturday in the dining room. It's probably our favorite room in the house for a number of reasons. We just love the wallpaper that the previous owners chose (which makes us wonder what they were smoking thinking when they papered the master bedroom!) and there's a lot of wood, but the view from the window, particularly when there's snow on the ground, is just lovely. For this reason, we never put any window covering up (and neither had the previous owners). The back of our house faces West, so it typically gets the brunt of any wind, and in the summer, it lets sun in from about 2pm to sunset.

So, after much reluctance and discussion, we finally decided to get thermal draperies. (You'd think we were making a decision on some life or death situation! :o)





Unfortunately, this is the most snow we've had all season, but here's the view from the window. That tiny little house looking thing attached to the first tree to the right of the center of the windows is a squirrel feeder my dad made for us. Periodically, I fill it up with peanuts.

Every time one of us sees a squirrel sitting on the feeder, we say "Squirrrrrrrrel!" (Like from Christmas Vacation... :o)
