So, I thought it was still October

But then this happened, and made me doubt myself.. It was quiet and it was pretty.  But then this happened and made me a little nervous… A branch on this tree (you know, the three that routinely tosses big sticks at our vehicles?) cracked under the weight of the leaves and snow and came to [...]

White out

I think I am done with winter.  How about you?  (Is it really still only January?  Ugh.) P.S. Thanks for the encouragement on my last post.  I’m 8 inches into the wrap, and the dress pattern has arrived in the mail, so there’s progress!

Preparing for the coming Snowmaggedon

What does your husband do the night before a snow storm? I’ll show you what mine does: Yeah.  It’s a Dalek.  And just because it wasn’t nerdy enough the way it was… He added lights. Tomorrow it will probably be covered in a foot of new snow.  I just hope we don’t need our plunger [...]

It’s Show-and-Tell Thursday!

Ok, I made that up. But it’s Thursday, and I wanted to show you what I finished yesterday. [Better grab a cup of coffee - this is a long one!] This is the ever-important Christmas apron. Most years, I have good intentions about getting my holiday decorating done nice and early so that I can [...]

The onset of winter

Did I speak too soon yesterday? Did I anger the weather gods? It snowed again this morning – still is snowing, in fact – and it’s decided to stick around. I can appreciate what a fun sight this is to a little person, I really can. And I can even enjoy this kind of thing [...]
