It is Christmas eve! For one and all this time in December is wonderful…holidays, the winter solstice, New Years… a time rich in many traditions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Christmas week started off with rain at 26 degrees F. (-3.33 C). Sunday it was a slow steady rain, that left everything covered in ice. The driveway was a skating rink. The Brick House has a very steep driveway… It has to be sanded. I called our plow guy, but his sander was down, so I called a back-up who kindly came and did it so Christine and Taber would not kill themselves getting into the house!<\/p>\n

I managed to get up and around the barn and down the side of the house to the bird feeder. I waded through ice on 14″ of snow. Peanuts were set out for the squirrels, and all feeders filled.<\/p>\n

It rained through out the day. There was some wind, and lights flickered, but we did not lose power. By evening it was really treacherous anywhere but the main roads. I needed to do a few errands and headed into town. At that point it poured! Ice, rain, and pitch dark… I was glad to get back home!<\/p>\n

This morning, Tuesday, the trees are beautiful with their white coating of ice. It is still over-cast, but the rain seems to be over.<\/p>\n

There are a few packages to get out this morning, and then Brick House Fabrics will be closed until Thursday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We wish one and all a very happy holiday season!<\/b><\/p>\n

THURSDAY, December 26, 2013<\/b><\/p>\n

We hope everyone had a wonderful, safe, holiday. One day after Christmas seems to short a time to be back at work! And Spot feels the same way. Being iced in does not agree with a dog that is meant to be outside running! But, the meadows are iced over. So, we headed down to Pemaquid Beach for a Spot Walk. I hope to have the pictures up this weekend.<\/p>\n

NEW FABRICS<\/b><\/p>\n

There are a lot of new fabrics that need to be listed.<\/p>\n

They are:
\n6 Indiennes,
\n5 Sea Shells,
\n4 Floral Toiles,
\n3 Paisley Patterns
\n2 Jungle Prints,
\nand a Rooster in a Barn Yard.<\/p>\n

(Try singing it to a
\nPartridge in a Pear Tree! )<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are now alternating work on the basic mega sample fabrics. But, we did get one of a group of ticking stripes listed this morning.<\/p>\n

This group of ticking stripes are special order from the mill, available by the yard. These have a dark mid-line thread, bordered by two thinner, lighter stripes, giving a slightly ombred look to the pattern. The colors are mostly muted, and they work with a good number of other fabrics we have.<\/p>\n
