    I’m done…

    I’m so done with Winter’s bitter cold that has been plaguing us for the past month or so.  The kids have yet another day off of school. I’m glad…crazy cold temps and wind chill today. I’m afraid the school is going to have to add a day into the schedule somewhere to make up for the 3 days they have had off due to extreme cold.

    coldSo….since it was a cold day in Hell, I decided to organize. *grin*

    yarnI got all my yarn into one bin.

    fabricFabric into another…well, the fabric that was in random boxes anyway.

    emptyAnd look at this…I ended up with an empty bin. It won’t remain empty for long.

    puzzle prepI did do a tiny bit of playing with another giant puzzle while I was waiting for the washing machine to finish its cycle. It was just to darn cold to hang out down there any longer than necessary.

    yo yo maI found this photo when I pulled the pictures off my camera today. Little J had set up the yo-yos I had sewn yesterday into a fancy little display and photographed them. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree I guess. 🙂

    Oh Christmas cards, Oh Chiristmas cards

    I decided to go a different route with our family Christmas cards this year. We’ve sent out a photo, letter or photo copied scrapbook page for countless years now.  My reasons for changing the tradition for this year are multifaceted. I have to tell you that my family was shocked!!Christmas cards

    I’m sending out handmade cards this year. And a lot fewer of them. We’ll see how it goes. I may regret that decision but I already have my plan for next year. 🙂

    These are just a few of the designs I came up with yesterday. Luckily I have a stash of cards I’ve made throughout the last couple of months.

    T Tuesday: Something’s brewing edition

    T stands for Tuesday rolls around more quickly each week it seems. Think it’s possible that our hostess Elizabeth is speeding up time? Yeah…probably not happening.

    This week my Tea is not for drinking… I’m just dye-ing to show you what I’m doing. *teeheehee*

    Tea dye

    My supplies are simple…old package of 6 tea bags that I’d never drink. Scraps of linens, lace and ribbon. Glass bowl. Boiling water. And time.

    toil and trouble

    Bubble, bubble toil and trouble. And now we wait…

    I’m heading for a brisk morning walk with a friend.

    What are you doing today?
