What a difference a day makes!

What a difference a day makes...twenty four little hours...Before I get into some art work/knitting....we're having a warm up in Michigan so our 6+ inches of snow is now gone!

Thursday & Friday this week - 6+ inches


Today with 48 degrees!!

Some snow left in our neighbors yard!

At least by staying inside for a day or two, I do get lots accomplished!  I moved all the furniture in the downstairs/family room and also did the same in my dye/work room area!!!  I have a few items to take to Goodwill and filled up some of our recycle bin!  So that's a good day's work!! 

I've also finished the front and back of my knitted project BUT  I don't know how to put the front and back together...It's quite confusing, well at least for me!  I can't grasp what it is I'm supposed to do...so I'll just wait until our last class, which is Tuesday.  We still have to make a sleeve for one side but until I get the front and back together, I don't even know where that sleeve should be!!  Geezzzzz



I'm also working on attaching my Loudermilk piece to the canvas.  My fingers get a little sore so I take a break after working a side.  I still haven't decided whether I'm painting or attaching the circles I have cut for the borders.  The hot glue gun may call to me yet!















And now for TV work, until I find out what to do with my knitting project, I'm still hand stitching the peacock.


  My fiber buddies suggested using some straight lines in some areas, which I did and I quite like it.






The lime green area is where I'll add straight stitches.  I'm using some hand dyed turquoise thread so hope I don't run out!!



Tomorrow I'm off Christmas shopping with my bud, Alice and of course we'll have a nice lunch too!!  Tuesday will be a busy, busy day...Kalee's spa day, then I'll head to the grocery store for the rest of my dinner items (I'll be cooking Wed., thru Saturday!), then after I make Bob and I an early dinner, I'll be off to see one of the patients from the Assisted Living here in town.  She's moved to a new facility where there are more activities and the building is on my way to knitting class.   Then off to knitting class to see how dumb I am for not figuring out the pattern!!!  Let's hope!

Let it Snow...let it snow.....

OK, I don't really feel this way but...nothing you can do about the weather!!!  Bob and I hibernated today just watching the snow fall since early a.m. and at 4:15 p.m. it's still snowing!!





Of course, the dogs love it!!!
















Yes, it's Michigan so you don't know what to expect day to day or minute by minute...we haven't even done any shoveling yet...it's still snowing so no point!!!  UGH....looks like we've got between 4-6 inches...we're thinking closer to six!

But it's suppose to warm up next week...in the 40's!  Woohoo!

I did get furniture moved in our family room, swept, dusted so it's all ready for our company next weekend!  Some decorations upstairs but main decorations are in the family room since that's where we spend our time with family.  Well, except when I'm in the kitchen cooking, which I love!!    Back to watching it snow!
