It has been cold! And while I don&#8217;t ice fish, there are those who look for ward to it! I had to go down to Boothbay on Saturday, the trees heading down were covered in ice. With a blue sky, it is magical.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/winter\/winter-12-d-500.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Whether you like winter sports or don&#8217;t, no one can argue that Maine in winter is a wonderful place to be- even if it means one is snuggled up by a woodstove with a book! Spot keeps me outside on walks. And we found a new place to walk in the woods. It is on a long drive through a preserve. It is private land, that the owners have given people the right to walk on. It is plowed, and is a nice alternative to the meadow trail that gets very icy. I hope to get pictures of it next time we go.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"noindent\"><b>FRIDAY- January 16, 2015<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The weather has finally warmed up&#8230; 20 degrees F&#8230; and last night I could hear the plows from around 3 am on&#8230; so there is new snow. It is still dark out, but, a line of pink is visible to the east, under a sky filled with dark clouds. It is incredibly beautiful!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/January-2015\/sunrise-1-16-15.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/images\/stories\/logo\/dragonfly%20hor.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><b>BUFFALO CHECKS<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The last few days have been devoted to finally getting the buffalo checks on line. These are the same colors as the 3\/8&#8243; checked fabric already listed, they are just larger at 1 1\/2&#8243;. Like the smaller checks they are a woven, a true gingham. There are twenty nine colors, most of which are quite traditional.<\/p>\n<p>Over half of them are listed, the neutrals and the greens. The blue tones go on today, and hopefully the red ones will get on over the weekend!<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\">This is progress!<\/p>\n<p>They are available in the<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/Checks.html#.VLj7Di5UXkM\"><br \/>\n<\/a><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brickhousefabrics.com\/Checks.html#.VLj7Di5UXkM\">Check Fabrics<\/a>,<\/b><br \/>\nunder Basics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, we have finally settled into winter.
