    Hello friends…I didn’t abandon linking up with Elizabeth and her T stands for Tuesday party. I just had to have a bit of a break. I  intended on being here early today but life got in the way.

     

    Here we have my token cup of tea. Twinings Earl Grey, in case you were wondering.

     

    You likely didn’t care but I bet you have been wondering what happened with my tea dying experiment.

    Love the darkened edge on the cotton lace…

     

     

     

    How the colors muted on the embroidery.

     

     

     

     

     

    And the dark tips on the fancy trim.

    Can’t wait to start using them in some…anything!

    I have my craft area somewhat  cleaned up but I hesitate to start using it until I’ve done some organizing. I may not be able to stop myself soon.

    mn winterI ran across this photo on Pinterest. Made me laugh..but it’s true.

    I love it when the plows do that…looks so cool and is very effective.

    What are you doing today??

    Winter has arrived

    cold

    As much as I love Minnesota…I hate days like today. When it’s dangerous to be outside with exposed skin.  It has risen to a balmy -3°F since this screen capture.

    I got distracted…

    long shadows

    It looks beautiful outside with the fresh snow…  The long shadows from the low sun.

    You may remember that I was having a couple of craft boutiques this past week. The first was a bit of a bust. Not much traffic but still a good times spent with Little J and friends.

    The second was great…even though we were in a fierce snow storm. They even dismissed school a bit early to get all the kids home before dark.  Only in MN would a snow storm bring out the shoppers. 🙂

    crazy messSince I had been mad crafting up until the last minute…I have quite the mess.  I’m only showing you a little snippet of the mess.

    Seriously embarrassing.

    But maybe a bit of public shaming will help me get it cleaned up.  One can hope. 😉
