I am thinking if I can't find some Calgon, I might try becoming a bear and hibernating until spring really comes (if ever). We had a record low temperature last night (-18 degrees fahrenheit = -28 degrees celsius). Our kind thermometer (tends to be a few degrees higher than it really is) reported this at about 7:15 AM!

I took this photo the other morning after about 8 inches of the white stuff fell on Tuesday night. If that isn't enough, we are expecting another 6-10 inches tonight.

I am leaving!
I have been really flitting from project to project lately, without any real focus. Nothing is getting completed. Frustrating. It isn't like I am not busy. We are preparing for our annual week long
Scholastic Book Fair at the elementary school (I am the co-chair). I have been busy with our apartment (my other life is as a landlord of a 6 unit building). But when I have free time to craft, I am not sure where to start.
I have been punching along and am getting there with my first punchneedle project. I have erred a couple of times on the color placement but it still looks pretty good.

Just so I don't have enough projects going, I have wanted to make this shirt for awhile. I cut the pattern out in muslin yesterday so I can practice and then see how it fits before I do the real thing.

I bought this fabric from
J Caroline Creative to use for the shirt.

It must be time to try to refocus. Just can't figure out where to start!
Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! I'm excited about meeting someone new. While taking a quick peek at your creations this morning, I kept saying to myself,
"Oh wow.... oh wow." I will be back soon. Keep warm!

ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad someone is making up that pattern--I soooo want to see what it comes out like. I like your fabric, too! And your little needlepunch is so cute--I'll bet you can't wait until you can wear flip flops again, eh? Stay warm...
