With all the snow yesterday I worked on my sewing homework. Okay, one piece of homework done. That went quickly. This is the Anne of Green Gables church block and it was easy to do. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be doing Redwork in backstitch or in outline stitch or with one strand or two strands of embroidery floss so I mixed and matched as I went along!My part of Japan doesn't get much snow but when it falls everyone freezes (literally and metaphorically). Many people figure that the area gets so little snowfall that they won't change their tires over to snow tires and thus when it DOES snow they get caught off guard and can't move. When I went to the pool last night I found cars slipping on the roads and stalled by the wayside. I think their cars can't make it up the hill to the tunnel that connects the two cities. Anyway, I made it safely to the pool but decided I didn't want to risk the tunnel road on the way home so I went the long way around on more crowded streets. Tetsu, who came home early in the evening hoping to avoid the frozen roads was horrified to find me out and about on winter streets and he started calling me on the cell phone. Well....!
I'm trying to drive home husband-dear. Your calling me only startles me as I drive and I can't drive and talk at the same time (and it is also illegal).
When I finally got home my cell phone registered 5 phone calls and 3 text messages from Tetsu within a span of 20 minutes. At least I know he worries about me.

Yes, nothing like homework to fill all that "extra" time.(NOT) I was sewing kimono blocks together hoping to speed the process and get to the quilting part that will eventually weigh heavily on my time. The snow that was predicted on Saturday seems to have by-passed us and landed in your neighborhood. Just as well as I had a Scout outing.
Snowy road made you late to come home, and surely made your husband worried. It's also a sign that he loves you a lot! Ooh, how I envy you, Tanya, who have a loving husband like Tetsu. ;)
Beautiful.Ciao e buon anno ( happy new year ).

The snow looks so pretty and romantic! You guys certainly sound like you are having fun together! Miss you and all of your positive energy.
Your embroidery looks wonderful - Combining the stitches is a great idea. My brother is the worrier in our family, and he does check in on me often, telling me to be careful, etc.
Tanya your Anne block is beautiful! I'm going to have to try to find that pattern. I have a friend who lives very near where the author lived - she's an Anne nut.
Glad you were safe on the roads - it's been years since I've had to slip and slide, we finally got a vehicle that can handle it. Given our normal yearly snowfall here, that's important!
The stitching turned out wonderfully. I live in snow country...and driving in it makes me so nervous!! Staying home is always my first choice. You must be one tough cookie!!
