FNSI and other things

Well what a day it was yesterday..an exciting start with a trip to the airport to pick up DD2 after her long flights home from Vancouver..after a month away.  There was a fog layer over the runway here so the plane had to circle for about 50 mins until it cleared enough for them to get the all clear to land..phew she was glad to be on the ground..and noticed the cold weather as soon as we walked out of the terminal!!!
Lots to catch up on...and another thing to look forward to is DD1 arrives home tomorrow night after 3 years away on her OE...she flew as far as Auckland with DD2 but is spending a couple of days visiting friends up there before she flies down here..can't wait to see her....
Meanwhile for FNSI last night I added a few more rows to Mum's rug..I'm on the 14 colour change now..it was the perfect project to work on ..catching up with DD2 and keeping warm..

                             
It started snowing about an hour ago..it seems to be stop/start at the moment but we have a covering of snow on the back deck..so will wait to see what it is like in the morning..

  3. you must be glad to have your daughters back home - sounds like one has been away for awhile. I have two daughters too one lives down the road from me and the other though is a good two days drive so I do not see her often.

  5. Lovely to have daughters home, and the rug is looking so good, and yes, more snow forecast for your area, do you look at " Accuweather" it gives data about all places nearby the one you enter. Temp, and real feel!!! Guess that wind chill brings it down so much more,

  6. It "feels" good to read of cold as i sit in 101F weather, very hot for Portland, OR. I like the color progression in the rug. Do you plan to repeat a pattern or just keep going with various colors?
    Visiting from FNSI.
