I am not amused...

The view from one of the upstairs bedroom windows.

Now, admittedly, it's not as bad as it looks.

We accumulated maybe 6-7 inches of snow here

during the last 24 hours.

This is "just" a drift on the roof.

And we have been really, really

spoiled weatherwise this winter.

Yesterday was the first measurable snow.

But still...

Add to that the fact that I've got

a doozy of a cold,

and you have one very cranky

Southpaw Stitcher.

I.  Hate.  Snow.

However, there is one saving grace.

A couple of days ago,

this came in the mail...

One hundred twenty colorful pages

of luscious stitchy goodness.

I'm ever so much happier looking at this

than out the window.

If you're not on their mailing list,

you really should get on.

They have a big website, too,

but there's nothing like a paper catalog

that you can hold in your hands

and just..  dream.

And, of course, I got some stitching done, too.

Progress pics to come.

Hope the weather where you are

is just what you want.

Thanks for visiting!
