Lots of snow and keeping busy

We got hammered by a winter storm here…  We got 15.5 inches at our house…but since the wind was blowing so hard we have drifts that are 4-5ft high in places while some spots are bare ground.

Here’s a photo out our back patio door.  See the cool swirl pattern in the snow!  Up to the left between our house and the neighbors there was a 5ft drift.

So in between shoveling and attempting to use the snowblower. I’ve been working on some crafty stuff.

I cleaned my sewing machine..changed thread on both the bobbin and spool…and it seems to be working a bit better.

I made a couple more journal covers..

We also put together our Gingerbread house kit from Trader Joe’s. I think it turned out pretty cute. Maybe next year I’ll do the really deal and not buy the kit.  I know my girl and I will be making one at her Holiday party at school as well…except with graham crackers. Like these ones.

  2. I came by three times and couldn’t leave a comment. SO frustrating. I love the gingerbread house. I really must make one one of these days.

    Your pothos looks cold against the sliding glass door. Guess that new door really keeps in the heat.

    I saw that video on the news and was going to ask you about it, but of course, you had posted about it already. Have a warm day and see you tomorrow for T Tuesday.
