Snow Day

The snow (mostly from plowing I guess) is now over the rims of our tires. Jeremy and I are the only ones of our household that have to park our vehicle on the street...So we must buck up, dig out, and find a place to park somewhere else so that the city can "clean" our street.

Well last night we had craft night at our house--a small and mighty group with which to share a meal and some inspiration. One of our group had brought balsam branches to strip the needles from for sachets that she makes. This is but one of her many beautiful projects (visit lillianka.etsy.com to check them out). We will be disposing of our Christmas tree this Friday, so we offered it up to her venture. It's been very entertaining to see the tree kind of get eaten up before our very eyes, and of course now there are pine needles EVERYWHERE...

Today our tree continues to be stripped as Lillian is staying with us through the storm. We've already had one rousing game of Scrabble and plan another after we've digested our lunches. Obviously, I did not get called into work today. Last night I finished one sleeve of February Lady and got a couple of inches in on the other one. At the end of the night, I could no longer keep away from starting a cross-stitch project from this super cool (and old) book I got out of the library. That is what I worked on this morning at breakfast and throughout round one of Scrabble:
Clearly, the one on the left is mine, and the one on the left is a photo of what it will look like when it's done.
Well gotta run, round two of Scrabble is in effect.
