Snow again! It is Spring, right?

Woke up again this morning to a wet snow falling.  Got just enough snow to make it wet.  Had 6 inches of snow last week even though the calendar says it's spring.  With all the wet sloppy weather, I have been forced to stay inside and work on crafts. Enjoyed it!

I just completed a set of penny rug coasters and am beginning a new cross stitch pattern.  Here's the penny rug coasters.


Stay warm and Happy Crafting!

Cabin Fever!

It's been a really snowy, cold winter here in mid-Missouri.  Our annual snowfall is around 22 inches and this year we have gotten that and then some.  We got a 1/4 inch of ice on Monday and then 13 inches of snow on top of that.  I've been snowed in at home for a week and cabin fever is knocking on the door.  I finally braved the elements and went to town today.  Who would think that grocery shopping could be good for the soul!

Here are a few pictures of our Winter Wonderland.  I live over a mile back on a private gravel road, and then we have about 1/2 a mile of driveway.  Not to mention 2 huge hills and 2 creeks.  I usually love living here on our beautiful 50 acres with a lake in the yard but not so much when it looks like this.



Good weather for stitching though cuz it sure isn't fit for man nor beast!  Happy crafting!

Cold but beautiful outside! Great time to craft.

It was cold like normal here this morning.  We've still got about 5 of the 9 inches of snow left that fell last week but the weather is warming up.  Due to the cold snow on the ground but the warming temperatures we are getting created what I call Fog Frost.  It coated all the trees, leaves, branches with glittery, sparkling frost.  My pictures don't do it justice. 

Finished this piece this morning since the weather isn't fit for man nor beast!
