More of the same...

OK, it was SUPPOSED to warm up a bit last night....it snowed instead. See that car in our driveway by the lamppost? It was cleaned of snow yesterday. There was about 2" more on top this morning at about 9:30 AM. It's 33 degree F right now with occasional snow showers. Once again, it is supposed to warm up tonight. We will see.


This tree was supposed to have the snow all gone.


It must have warmed up a bit. There are icicles hanging from our back porch roof.


I tried to get Cindy to settle down. So I put her favorite puppy in the chair & she cuddled right up.


I didn't put that stuffed animal on top of her, she snuggled under it & turned around until it was where you see it. The tree is safe for awhile.



Oh, and here is a headline from the local paper:

Snow, then rain, then snow again
A weather system blew into the Puget Sound overnight, bringing a dusting of snow to some parts of the region -- and making for slushy, slippery roads. But rain is already falling in some places, and more snow is in the forecast for Christmas.

Has it been a whole month????

Since I posted??? Geesh, life does get in the way of fun. Well, it's snowing here...we've had about a foot of snow since Sunday and the forecast says more tonight. Nothing like snow to bring neighbors together. Haven't spoken hardly any words to them all year & now we are pulling together to help each other out when needed. The snow brought on one good thing. I will say, I do enjoy watching it fall.

Luckily, I am on vacation until the new year...but, DH has to slog it out to the bus stop & try to get into work.


I'm catching up on scrapping - snow pictures at the moment....yes, Robin, I used some snowflakes & when I take a picture of the LO, I'll put it on the boards ;-)


Our tree has lights and a few non-breakable ornaments on it...........Cindy (furbaby girl) just can't leave it alone & thinks we put it up for her amusement alone. The presents aren't under the tree because she uses them to to advance further up the tree.

Sammy (furbaby boy) is being his lovable self and cuddling close when he can, crawling under the covers, and generally being a good boy.

Felting

November & December kits from ScrapGoods uses the technique of felting. We received some templates to make a flower, but I wanted to see what I could do. So I made a blue bird with a red wing.

Here's the blue bird in progress:



And then making the wing:



And then the end product.




I decided I wanted a wispy tail & end of wing. It was fun. I really enjoy this technique, and am so happy I also got several other colors of wool. I'll sew a bead on for an eye and cut out a felt beak. Then I plan to felt a limb for it to sit on!!

Only one thing to say....
