This picture suggests ‘stir crazy’ to me, being imprisoned within your house by the weather: freezing temperatures and the discouraging presence of snow. During the winter I often take pictures of my cat. This photo included is of our late cat, Shakey who looks as if he he were imprisoned behind the staircase bannister posts. also being somewhat imprisoned by the pandemic, I enjoy shopping online. What a delight it is to open the many deliveries which arrive on my doorstep weekly! And always as a last resort as to what to do I can always enjoy sitting at my sewing machine for an hour or so working at completing a quilt. So for today I will have two stir crazy topics; cat pictures and quilting and I also shall be celebrating the last day of February, yea!yea!

Larry, thanks for another Free Sunday and thanks GiGiMac for last week's challenge. Both were super.

This is about the right time for folks in winter climates to come down with a cases of "Cabin Fever" often expressed as "I think I'm going stir crazy!" It happens. Folks have been cooped up, weathered in and longing for warmer weather. Those of you in warmer climes might have a different version - maybe you've been laid up for a while or have had company from one end of "winter" to the other and it's beginning to drive you nuts.

This challenge is all about some of the things you do when storms or something else, keeps you inside for a stretch. How do you spend the "darker" months? House guest overload? A recovery from "something"?

I do a variety of things. I'll start off with an exercise routine, if I can't get out to the gym or my walking road, I "HOUSE WALK" for 30 minutes. It's boring, but this is how it goes...

More "Stir Crazy" antics to come - and yours???

Thanks, he is very cuddly, likes to be held and napping on my lap when I'm reading in a recliner.

A house walk is a grand idea, Pat! I shall do one today,I like a walk with a theme. I used to do a “ten cent “walk. I would put Pennie’s in my pocket every time I had completed a circuit of my planned walk. In my house I can go in a circle, hall, living room, dining room, then the same again, hall, etc.so a house circle it shall be today! Also today I shall work at finishing the quilting of this butterfly quilt which will be given to one of my granddaughters.It’s always handy to have a work in progress to turn to when an activity is needed to fill in those long winter days. Quilting is one of my stir crazy activities.

Another quilting project and this one is complete. Actually it was finished during those late fall days in November while anticipating the actual beginning of winter!This quilt was to celebrate the publishing of a sweet picture storybook written by my daughter!” The little ghost who was a quilt” and ,inspired many quilters to make a little ghost quilt, including me.


That's terrific ..

During December 2018, I was stir crazy even before winter set in!

Quilting through the winter
Although it’s not yet officially winter, the snow on the ground has influenced me and I have been spending much time recently on a quilting project. The focus of my work in progress is cats and the name of the pattern is Patchwork Cat with borders. When the real winter season sets in I plan on making a Dresden Plate quilt.I will be so involved in its making then perhaps I will not even notice the blowing snow and the fierce winds. As Shelly remarked in one of his beautiful poems... “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” And so this is my plan for getting through the cold, dreaded season.

note: I only have completed one Dresden Plate Quilt Block( maybe next winter?
