It's finally turned cool enough that we pulled out our electric space heater. We are avoiding turning the house furnace on for as long as we possibly can to keep out electric down. Last month we ran very little A/C and no heat at all and our electric bill dropped to $150... I'm hoping to do that again this month or at least stay below $200. There really is no point in heating the entire house when we stay mainly in one room at a time and we can move the electric heater around as needed. In my sewing room my iron heats it up pretty good and I wear a sweater. I'm dressing in layers a lot now. Of course the cats think we pulled the heater out just for them. Here they are all lined up - Nick and then Tesla closest to the heater. For a minute I thought they were going to have a fight over who would get the closets spot.
I'm trying to get 8 quilt blocks made for the Christmas block swap that I signed up to do; they were supposed to be mailed on Halloween. I'm a little slow getting them out as I picked a pretty detailed block so hopefully the ladies won't mind them being a little late. I have 3 made and in their envelopes to be mailed and 2 more in the sewing stage. I may have to set them aside until after I get a shirt and skirt made to wear to work.
