We got quite the Hoar Frost a few days ago and I had to drive around and snap some photos.
All these were taken while I had my body firmly planted in my jeep. :)

ENJOY!












A burst of color in the middle of winter.






How is the weather where you live?
I would love to hear about it be it warm or cold. :)

Sign, sign everywhere a sign ♪♫♪


I decided I better pop in here quick before you all thought I dropped off the face of the earth.
 I have been a busy beaver as of late. I have LOVED making these large signs.
Believe stands five feet tall, Peace is 4 feet tall and Joy is approx. 28 inches high or so.
I still have to touch up the ends of the JOY sign with white paint, but I will get
to that eventually. Now I am on the hunt for more old barn wood...the hunt that is never-ending
for all the things I want to create. :)


This has been a project of mine for a few weeks and it is finally done!

I L.O.V.E. it!!

Hubby did a lot of the work , but shh...:)

I hope to get it all decorated and do a post on it soon. It is the new vanity on our back porch.
Kicked the old ugly one to the curb. It really WAS ugly! I didn't realize HOW ugly
until we actually took it out. "shudder"

Do you recognize the wooden piece that we put the sink in? It is the "potting table" that hubby
 and I made this summer. I had a revelation one day to use it for this and hubs thought it
was a great idea! Love it when we agree! SMILE


It has been downright FRIGID in Michigan this week and this soup was on the menu!
Creamless Cauliflower Soup
They say that the US shattered over 100 records {or was that 1000?} in weather this year.

UGH! I don't like breaking a 150 year old records at this time of year!! No thanks, but we take
 what we get right? For some reason God must think we need this bitter cold so I am trying to
take it in stride. It will be in the 50's this weekend so you know what I am doing!

yep!

Christmas decor to be put up outside!

I made this yummy recipe of cauliflower soup that we watched being whipped up on America's
Test Kitchen from the warmth of our living room. I did google and find it on another site so
you can click here to get the recipe.

As usual I didn't have some of the ingredients so I winged it. I didn't have the chives, leek
or sherry vinegar, but it was still very tasty to me. My hubby added cheese to his and loved
it. He is a cheese man for sure. The butter drizzle was supposed to be browned, but obviously
I didn't get it browned. lol.

Do you have your Christmas shopping started? ME?? Barely. It gets harder every year.
I am thinking of opting out...:)

Will it ever stop??


We have had so much snow this year that there are days I wonder if it will ever stop.
Seriously!

But, it does make for some gorgeous pictures.  Last week we had amazing frost that covered all
 the trees and everything else in site.  I didn't even realize it was this gorgeous out until I had to
 run uptown.  As soon as I got home I ran inside to get my camera and shoot some photos.
I didn't stay out long because it was way below zero and my fingers were about froze off
 even with gloves on.

I did add some sparkles to the photo above to enhance it. :)

Enjoy ~


















I hope you enjoyed my winter wonderland photos, but I am praying that Spring is just around
the corner. :)

A FOUR letter word that I am sick and tired of and some creativity


Did that title grab your attention? Probably not, because I know my peeps in blog land are SMART,
but I am sick and tired of SNOW!  I know that many of you are as well. We have had more than our
 fair share this year and it isn't even the end of January. We won't even talk about how bitter
 cold it is also. ugh!

So...what does a girl do when she is stuck inside? She makes warm and cozy pillows. I picked up a few
sweaters at the Goodwill several days ago specifically to make sweaters so I got my sewing vibe on
this week. lol.


I really do like how this one turned out. I did find out while making these that sweater fabric is kinda
 *stretchhhhhhhy*
so you have to watch what you are doing. I think a regular fabric backing would help next time.


I had the sweater sleeves left over after making the pillow so I also made a wine cozy.
{I could have made two , but only made one for now}

{or sparking juice cozies whatever you desire}


This is my second pillow. I left the end open that was originally the bottom of the sweater and then I made three
rosette pins and pinned it closed.



The snow does look pretty, but I am sooooo over it. Way too much this year and way too cold also! ugh!


This is our main road {3/4 miles from where we live} that is usually heavily traveled. 


SNOW...SNOW...SNOW!


Tea anyone?? 


My frozen rain chain


Home sweet home...this was taken before we got even more snow along with huge drifts.




I put on face book today that I have an offer for today only and I will extend that to my blogger friends
as well. I am giving away all the snow that will fit in your vehicle. First come first serve,  so get here fast!
Whatever is not gone tonight is headed to the Goodwill store! HAHA!

Stay warm~
