Snowbound

Hey Blog Buddies,

It's been snowing here since yesterday evening and isn't predicted to stop until tonight, then we go into the deep freeze.  No one on our street has been out yet to shovel their driveways, and our street itself has not been cleared yet, so we are hunkering down at least until tomorrow, when the predicted high temperature will be -10 F but the snow will have (hopefully) stopped falling.

The snow this time around is pretty heavy,

as the drooping branches show.

This is our goose on the deck,

attired in cape, hat, muff and lots of snow,

taken earlier in the day

when there was a short break in the precipitation.

 

But enough of the horrid snow

and on to the stitching.

 

I was able to finish LHN's Warm Winter Woolens

on the last day of 2013:

 

 

I am going to treat myself and

get this one finished professionally.

 

On New Year's Day I started the prework

for my canvaswork class at the

Nordic Needle Retreat coming up in April:

 

 

This will become an ort box.

I have done the borders for the top,

bottom and all four sides, so I am ready!

 

The past few days I've been stitching

a little something-something

that I can't show yet.

It's for my 3rd Blogoversary Giveaway

which will happen later this month,

so stayed tuned.

 

That's it from here.

If you're a victim of this winter storm that we're having,

stay warm and dry.

Thanks for visiting!
