How cold is cold?

This column was written in January 1990, but it could have been written any winter day.

I thought about starting over when my cats ran through the kitchen but decided to charge ahead.

The odd sounds you hear near the mid-point are Barn-E and Car-E playing.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Sissy’s Treats and Treasures

You never know what you’ll find at Sissy’s on Main Street in Seymour, Wisconsin.

While you’re looking for treasures, have a treat.

I had coffee and an egg sandwich this morning. Everything was yummy.

Until next time, that’s it from Sunnybook Farm.

My winter project

I started cutting patches last winter. That was enough of a project.

This year I got the urge to put some together. So far I’ve finished a few rag quilt pillows.

Eventually, larger pieces will make a lap rag quilt.

I’m using pieces cut from Bob’s old shirts and jeans, so my work has meaning.

What is it?

A guessing game today.

I bet some people have had deliveries like this and know what it is. Others may be scratching their heads. What about you?

I’ve been sewing and needed these.

Eventually, I’ll talk about my sewing projects, but not today.

Okay, if you need to know. The flat package contains two 14 by 14-inch pillows.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
