Whooo's There?

I had a meeting last evening at church. I came home and parked the car in the garage, and as I was walking from the garage to the house, I heard an owl. That was unusual. I know they are out there but it’s rare that I hear one. I made the husband put on his boots and come out to the porch to listen. He said Bunny needs to be careful it doesn’t become a meal. We have snow on the ground, though, so Bunny has better camouflage now.

I am not sure what we would do for entertainment without all of the forest animals. I would prefer that they live outside, but the spider can stay for a few more months.

I stopped in at the quilt store yesterday morning while running errands. (Costco was a flaming disaster—I spent 40 minutes standing in the checkout line.) Sammy, who is one of the staff members, asked me if I had considered the Farrow Dress as a class. This is a Grainline Studio pattern:

I actually own the pattern and have three yards of red Brussels Washer Linen waiting for it. I think I need to put this pattern in the queue. 🧐 The store also got a request for me to teach the Noodlehead Wool and Wax Tote again, so I’ll get that one on the calendar, too.

I wrote up the serger retreat proposal yesterday morning with the help of ChatGPT. I am not a huge fan of AI, but for some tasks, it does help. The key is knowing how to phrase questions with enough detail that it will respond with a detailed answer. ChatGPT spit out a framework that I was able to tweak and customize.

Ashlee is at QuiltCon and I am heading to Sew Expo, so we will talk about it more when I get back.

I can’t believe it’s going to be March in another week. It’s time to start garden planning in earnest. This year is flying by.
