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~

A snowy white Wednesday

Wednesday snuck up on me yet again this week.
I didn't even realize it until I was going through my
blogroll and saw Kathleen's post. Argh! I need to
get better organized here!

Isn't this candleholder amazing? The story for this
is that I found the top of it {the scrolly part} at the
Goodwill, but it didn't have the bottom part
with it and it was not priced so I did not bring it home.
I went to an antique mall a week or so later and found
the whole thing. I know it was the same one because
the *dirt* was on it exactly like it was when I saw
it at the Goodwill. lol.

I am trying to redo my decor after taking down all my Christmas, but it is going very slowly.

We were dumped on last night with fluffy white
snow so I stepped outside to take a few photos
just for you.

Snow...snow beautiful snow.
{when I don't have to drive in it}
I will be cuddling with my granddaughters again
today...I know... such a hard job , but someone
has to do it. :)
Happy WW everyone.

Oh the weather outside is frightful...

...but the fire is so delightful ...that is the way I am feeling today after a few days of snow and ice. Actually we don't have a fireplace, but just to be inside where it is nice and warm is the greatest blessing !

I created a few star ornaments for my tree and thought I would share them. My whole tree has mostly white and silver ornaments on it and I am loving that look. I used some pages out of a very old church hymnal for these star ornies. I had fun making them and am in the process of making more ornaments as well. I do wish all of you a wonderful weekend filled with love and blessings!
