Snow, snow, snow




I finally have the Christmas decorations all packed up and
we just have to take them up to the attic. I weened
a few items out to give to Goodwill and I have discovered
how hard it is to part with some of this stuff. I guess I
have a lot of "memories" with these decorations and I
don't want to discard them, but it is time
and some of my decorations were getting a little ratty. Those were
put in the trash. Next year I'll probably be ready to
add new decorations to my stash! Shhh! Don't tell
my dear husband! :)

Happy 2010!



Hope you have a great New Year's day!
We will be eating turkey with stuffing.
Also some "horsey duvers", shrimp
and smokey bacon wrapped beef sausages.
I might even make another kind if I can
get up out of my very comfy chair
and away from the computer. :)

This morning I started making Liz's bridal
makeup bag. I am using the same design
that I used for Diane's bridal pouch. I don't
have another butterfly but I will be using a
lacy flower for the center piece.



JoAnn Fabrics doesn't really carry any
bridal appliques any more. I was very disappointed
in their selections when I was there last. If I keep
making these bridal pouches I will have to find another
source for some small pretty appliques.

It won't be long until the wedding
and I can't wait.

We've been getting a lot of snow today, not as much
as other areas in the country of course.
We've been very lucky with our lack of snow fall
so far this year. But we are getting caught up today.
The fuzziness of the photo is the snow falling down
rather quickly.


I love how the street gets very quiet when we have  a good
snowfall. It really is so peaceful. Of course, I'd feel
differently if I had to go out in the snow today!
