I'm sitting here, all toasty warm, drinking coffee. My new furnace is in and other than the bill, I'm a happy camper!
I did a lot of baking yesterday just to have the oven on. A double batch of Chocolate Chip Muffins and a double batch of Cornbread Muffins. My laundry is done too! I did anything I could think of to get a little heat in house. The installer had it running by 6 pm so I slept good last night. No waking up at midnight, freezing and shivering!
Oh and my poor little kitties. They kept looking at me like, "MOM! What's up with this no heat thing?!!" I had Nightmare and Simba wrapped up in quilts on the bed and I had Lucy out here with me on the heating pad with my stitching lamp shining on her.
I felt so bad for them. They're all older and have some health problems. Nightmare is has a heart condition, Simba has Colitis and Lucy had that stroke just before Christmas. And I hate that I can't explain things to them. But I managed to keep them warm as best as I could and they're no worse for the wear today.
In between baking, I did do some stitching. This will be a little heart shaped door hanging pillow:
I used the corner of a vintage hankie for the center. I think it needs some vintage Mother Of Pearl buttons now!
In other news, the Spring issue of Pat Winter's Gatherings magazine is now available for purchase:

Oh goody, goody! I'm so glad that you got your heat going...I was wondering about that yesterday. And now, you have some nice muffins to enjoy along with toasty toes! Happy Valentines Day to you too!

Oh yes, the bill! We felt exactly the same way when we got the bill for the AC this past summer!
Phew - I'm SO glad you have a new furnace and are warm again...and the kitties too. What an ordeal.
