The tote bag is just a perfect piece of work. Good to see your four cats all happy and relaxed.

My husband and son constructed our little house so well that it is often a surprise to find how cold it is outside.<br />30 degrees--in Florida or elsewhere--is cold enough to call for a warm sweater indoors and a winter jacket when going out. I hope your little heater warms an area around your feet--and I hope none of your beautiful flowers feel the nip of frost.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-67045096942649347512020-01-22T10:54:34.968-05:002020-01-22T10:54:34.968-05:00Briony; I googled this poem for you--I only rememb...Briony; I googled this poem for you--I only remembered a line or two: <br />Cats sleep, anywhere,<br />Any table, any chair<br />Top of piano, window-ledge,<br />In the middle, on the edge,<br />Open drawer, empty shoe,<br />Anybody's lap will do,<br />Fitted in a cardboard box,<br />In the cupboard, with your frocks-<br />Anywhere!

As always a great job.<br /><br />Down here in s.e. FL it is supposed to go down to around 40 tonight and with the windchill factor feel like it is around 30. Tomorrow night should be up in the 50's. Time will tell if I'll have to get my heater out of hibernation. Right now it is around 70 inside.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing the inside of your greenhouse. I know you will enjoy it.<br /><br />Have a great week ~ FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-29208067058987931122020-01-21T14:50:08.668-05:002020-01-21T14:50:08.668-05:00Thankyou for a lovely post.

January is one of those months it is only too easy to waste entirely as the weather is dull, cold and miserable and there is not a lot to do outside. Walks are perfunctory, gardening normally not possible (or enjoyable if it is possible) and it is difficult to summon the interest for anything much.<br /><br />I have wasted my January so far by having a cold, but it is good to hear that you have achieved lots and that beautiful quilt is finished. I am sure that the addition of the cat fabrics will delight the recipient. That tote bag is just perfect to present it in too.<br /><br />Snap over the greenhouse, though mine is another temporary plastic one (many thanks to Tam, although she is a keener gardener than me and desperate to get seeds started here.) We will have to situate it amongst the orchard trees in the paddock to keep it from the worst of the weather.<br /><br />Good to see your cats all happy and relaxed. I have been viewing Big Black Sam's infiltration into the favourite beds of the inside cats in the house and he even made it onto Tam's bed yesterday!!<br /><br />Keep warm and enjoy refinding your fabric stash!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
