First Snow!







Our first snow of the season... I wasn't sure we would have snow, the forecast changed every time I turned on the telly. I woke to the sound of rain, and a sinus headache, and the temp at about 40 degrees. The temp fell slowly, and the snow started after a couple of hours. Nothing stuck at first, but as the ground cooled it began to dust the ground and cars. It is so pretty! If the rain/snow line had stayed stationary, we would have several inches, but it would snow for awhile, and then rain for awhile, then snow and so on. The result is a slushy thin snowcoat, but I loved watching it anyway.
So while I was enjoying the flakes, I also enjoyed sewing. Though I would love to say I got to sew on my LOTR project, my son's Christmas easily
took precedence. I hope what I made him fits... he's been gone 2 years, and is fit and muscled. Anyway, I enjoyed making it. Another shopping trip and we will send the packet off to Okinawa. It is a very long trip, halfway around the world. I miss him.
I did try to sort through all the gorgeous fabrics I have been fondling for my Arwen and Eowyn dresses... I also got a soft cotton dress cut out to try as the underlayer of the Requiem Dress. I dyed the knit fabric along with the silks last time, and it turned a gorgeous blue color.
And, I took pictures of some stuffies I made, which will be for sale soon! Seems things are marching along...

Everything takes more time than you think it will and then, this is just a busy time of year. I'm ignoring Christmas cards and I hope that Ian doesn't think of them in time to matter. Your little critters are cute. Shop fodder??

Wow- look at those cute kitties! You are so talented, Kim- do you have a link to your ETSY? I looked but didn't see it, but then, I have been known to overlook things sometimes. (All the time according to my Hubby.)
Once the holidays are over I need to make some things for my little ESTY shop, too... seems like life has been too crazy to craft lately. (And that STINKS!)
Enjoyed my visit with you today!

Almost Summer, Winter is A-coming.

The day began early with a ride north for a little minor surgery.  The sun was up before we left, but not before we rose.  The sky was a won...
