Cold Weather Comforts

I finished these the other day, just in time for this cold snap that is hitting Tucson now. I am wearing them this morning! Comfy warm!
My s-i-l, Desert Shade (Carol), makes these insulated hot-pads. she happened to have one in my favorite design, sunflowers! 
This pretty hot-pad comes in handy, along with the tea-pot cozy made by my daughter #1,
 to keep my pot of tea hot longer.
I also used it this cold morning to keep hot my warm dish of oatmeal w/ apricots!
Yesterday, Deaf Ranger and I took my rig to dump the tanks, fill up on propane and diesel fuel.Other than that not much happpening except walking the dogs, and painting. I did a couple western scenes which you can view here if you like. You also may like the one I did of the Rv / auto light bulb.
Still doing a painting a day!
 
Can anyone tell me what the weather is like in Quartszite or Yuma desert? I'd rather hear it from someone who is there than the weatherman.... just sayin  ;-)
 
Stay warm wherever you are, and count your blessings for they are many!

  2. I meant to ask you about the tea cozy I saw it in another one of your posts. Is it knit or crochet?
    Your paintings are great. love the boot.
    I guess it is just as cold in Yuma from what I have read on some blogs. I guess you know to keep your cabinet doors under the sinks open tonight so you can keep some warmth in there for the pipes.
    Stay warm.
