Jaelyn's Longies



This is the jacket (sleeves are cut off) I used to make the longies.



The finished pants. (Sorry, I can't get the picture turned the right way.)

They are really easy to make. I have been saving some felted wool sweaters to make more. We'll try them on Jaelyn Saturday when we are at their house for the birthday party to make sure they fit. Then I can make her a few more pair & maybe put some cute appliques on them.
It's snowing here now. Doesn't look like it will amount to much though. I was planning on taking the Mini Cooper to CarMax today for an appraisal & see what they will offer us, but we'll see how the roads are later. No, we haven't sold it yet. We put it on Auto Trader and Craigslist, but only one person has looked at it. Not a good time of year to be selling a car, I guess. Luckily, we don't have to be in a hurry.

I read this article yesterday that interviews the writer of a book I just bought called Sloviva (also the name of her farm). I haven't had a chance to read the book yet, but I did read the article. It is fantastic what she is doing with passive solar and chicken heat, Yes, I said chicken heat :-). I'll leave you with that thought...
