a ceiling fan makes a HUGE difference

in how comfortable the room is
we normally do run the fan in the studio most of the year
this heating season we hadn't as due to the studio reorganizing, the cat tree was directly under it....and our mr peabody was a PITA about trying to play with it
sooooooo
in light of NOT having a decapitated hairless cat running around (or not running around as the case would be)
we hadn't run it
i got fed up during the really cold weather and moved the cat tree and put the fan on
it is working nicely thank you
(dorothy, i think that ceiling fan could use a solar panel all of it's own)
i have found that the studio stays warmer and the stove burns better, and if the stove does burn down, it doesn't go so low in heat as to kick the furnace on (which WAS happening even with the stove surface temps at 200 degrees!)

now this morning, bernie got up at 4:30 as usual...... (after us sleeping most of the night, broken only by repeated interruptions by the said mr peabody, and not having to get up to stoke the woodstove) to SNOW......
yup it's snowing
the overnight snow came this morning
i do have enough wood in i believe
but i hung felted clogs out on the line and i am pretty sure they are going to be wet after i dust the snow off and bring them in

i am currently knitting what will become the second experiment in felted boots... the first was the red ones from last year..which are now house slippers
i have knit this current experiement 4 times... ripping and reknitting
this is in brown sheep lamb's pride, in charcoal gray
i started with the narrow sole from the fiber trends alpine boot pattern, and then moved on to the top from the fiber trends family classic slipper
with some adjustments

i am also knitting a shawl i think...or a fichu..... (i know i know, but the name is inside the protective sleeve and i'm lazy)

i am still not on the road, as the van isn't registered or inspected, however it is insured
bernie is to take care of the inspection tomorrow
and then philly monday
i hope
meanwhile today vicki is coming over
i should find the table huh?
i don't have to bring wood in today i don't think unless i get a good break in the snow
i do however have a bit of dishes left over to do, as bernie brought his stuff home from work......(two weeks worth of containers etc, gee and i didn't get him anything.....)

bernie is got big news, ......he's trying to quit smoking!
so far about a week and a half...... i will be so happy if he manages it

now i have to run..... ttyl
