To catch up... once again

Well, I never said I would be very good at this whole blogging thing! You may be assured that I have pangs of guilt all the time because I don't keep up with this as I would like. I had in mind to keep you all interested with several posts over a few days, but alas, too many thing have piled up, and I would like to start afresh. So here you are - a dump post.

To begin, some sewing projects...

These sunshiny pillows brought much cheer to my dark davenport this summer. They have gone in the closet for the winter, replaced by the green silk pillows I made in the spring and a white flower pillow I made around Thanksgiving. I need to take a picture of it during the day when I can get some good light.

An apron. Not much else to be said for it. It performs its duties marvelously.

On to a more recent non-sewing project...

Homemade Peppermint Marshmallows. Mmmm. Surprisingly, deliciously easy to make. They have capped many a hot chocolate of my own and I hope they meet the same fate at my friends and coworkers homes.

And most, most recently...

Snow.

And birds.

More snow.

And even more snow.

I don't think we got quite over a foot of settled snow, though I'm sure much more than that fell. It was glorious and beautiful while it lasted, but I am not sorry to see it go. We just don't know how to manage snow here in the valley.

I am not ashamed to say that I am the woman who cannot drive in the snow, even though our trusty Subaru does fine. Not to say that I am dangerous or got in an accident or anything, it's just more stress than I like to feel. My good husband was happy to chauffeur me around instead.

Currently, I am working on a quilt. Yes, a quilt! Well, it's not exactly a quilt, it's more of a duvet cover, but it is pieced together like a quilt. Hopefully, that project will be finished soon and will cover the pages of my blog.

Now to read some more pages of my books. Sometimes I overwhelm myself with my to dos. But I love to be busy. I cannot bear to be idle. So boring and tedious...
