The Bear in my Yard...

I was working in my sewing room when all the birds on the feeder outside the window suddenly disappeared.  Then the feeder itself disappeared and a bear head appeared.  He bent the feeder pole over and removed the feeder and when he couldn't get it open he rolled it on the ground and licked up the seeds (hulled sunflower) that fell out.  He was smaller than most of the bears we see in our yard, knocking over our garbage but I stayed behind the door when I took the video.

*note* seed should be seeds. 

When he left I bent the feeder pole back up and rehung the birdfeeder.  Within moments there were a half a dozen goldfinches munching away. 

Snow in October - Take Two...

OK this is just plain silly!  I took this picture an hour ago and there is another 3 inches already. 
The weather channel is saying we could get 12 to 18 inches.  We went out for breakfast, filled up the gas tanks, got a new pair of snow gloves and went home to batten down the hatches.  We took out the air conditioners out of the windows and stowed them in the basement.  Those suckers are heavy!  The cats were pretty excited about the open windows when we pulled them out but not about the weather that was drifting in so no one tried to escape.  They also were impressed with the large cat water bowl we put in the bath tub.  It's a big plastic bin with water in case we lose electric.
Sammy did think I was a bit crazy to hang out the window to take this video. 

Here you are... snow video. 
   

Feathers and my first You Tube video

Jude Hill from Spirit Cloth has a Magic Feather project going.  You can read about it here. So I made some feathers for her.

And here is a bit of video - my first - about the feathers.     

I will have to do a bit more scripting and a bit less "uming" on the next one!  But it was easier than I thought. 

I want to get better at the videos so that I can put some of my quilting work/lessons on line.  At least that is the theory at the moment.  I'm still working it out.
