Oh my goodness, Terri, that is insanely cold!!! Your poor dog! I stepped outside for a moment and it's cold here too, 0° right now with the wind chill making it -25°.
Our septic tank lateral (sp?) froze yesterday and the guys can't come out to fix it until the temperature gets to 20°. So we are eating off disposable dishes and limiting bathroom trips. I'm glad I haven't potty trained my two year old yet! The septic guy did say the waste won't all come back up the house pipes, but rather all over the ground outside. That I'm glad for!

Yesterday the idea popped into my head that the three babies (my two GDs plus a cousin that will be born within a month of them) all need small car quilts. Little 32" squares or so, for carrying baby to the car, and snugging them into the car seat once they get there. Big quilts just don't work as well for that. So now I have 3 little baby quilts to hurry up and make. At the same time, my daughter is designing the World's Most Perfect Baby Quilt, for her big quilt. She wanted to do everything but sew it... so I'm still waiting on orders for that, and fabric. She's doing a Beatrix Potter theme and also wants me to make the crib bedding to match. Lots of fun to come...
Edited to Add: I was going through my Pinterest and saw this one too! It's written in another language, but I'm sure it would be easy to figure out. https://pin.it/2sus42q6qkxpo4

Braved these ridiculous frigid temps to see surgeon today. I really like him and he spent a lot of time explaining to me what went wrong with the lap bands and what to expect with the sleeve. Surgeries will both be laparoscopic on March 4. As soon as the fat 1/8’s arrive I will need to get working on them immediately

We have the sub-zero temps here in Ohio also but not quite as bad as some. Right now it is -4 with a windchill of -30. Y'all know what I'll be doing...staying warm and sewing. But, the temp on Monday is supposed to be 50. What the heck is going on with this crazy weather? Yesterday I told the ladies at the Hospice thrift store where I volunteer that I am going back to Florida! Only kidding. Now that I live only 5 minutes from my brother and about 8 minutes from my son, I wouldn't give it up for anything.
Anyone who is experiencing this brutal weather, please stay inside and stay warm. It's even harder on us older ones than it used to be. Old Arthur is not being nice to my hands today.

this is unusually cold, though we didn't set any records last night. I'm just on the western edge of the cold front, so it only got to -24 last night. When it's super cold, take a glass of hot water outside and toss the water into the air - pretty cool to watch!
Our outdoor cats have been staying in DH's heated garage the last several days. He keeps it around 45 because he's got some equipment that won't do well with below freezing.
I've been teleworking this week so I don't have to be out in the cold (have 84 mile drive) but it will be nice enough I'll go in tomorrow. Then we'll have a heat wave for the weekend, and then a chance of snow again on Sunday/Monday.
I am so ready for winter to be over!

Thanks for those baby wrap patterns, NZ! I especially like the first one. The hood is a great idea.
Sorry about your septic woes!
Terri, I am so surprised they can do your 'sleeve' surgery through your belly button! That just amazes me.

No, very cute baby blankets, sent them both to a friend. Bad deal on the septic system
Sewbiz my tummy is going to look like a road map when this is all done. Have 4 small scars from lap band surgery, four more from gall bladder. Main gall bladder incision is still large and nasty looking. They will add 3 to 4 incisions on left side to remove lap band. One will be good size where they will need to remove port. On right side will be 4 to 5 incisions to cut and remove 75 to 80% of stomach. Once again one of the incisions will need to be larger where they remove the cut away stomach. Luckily I am not having these surgeries to become beautiful and sexy but as a tool to get my health in order.

Terri, it sounds so scary. You are a brave lady! Be sure to remind us when the surgery is about to happen, so we can cover you in prayer. I want you to be the poster child for stomach sleeve surgery success!
