Lots of White Fun

Look what we got yesterday.



We did not take an official measurement but there is at least 10" of new snow. So while Jaxton did this (look at those cheeks)



I got to 'play' in the snow for the fist time this year and dig out my car and then cause I was having so much fun (no I am not being sarcastic I really did love doing it) I dug out Robie's truck as well.

Merry Christmas

I hope your Christmas is filled with family and friends, joy, happiness,and lots of good food.

Christmas Time Again

It's that time of year again, Christmas tree hunting. Now I have to admit because I am about ready to pop and could not go climbing in the mountains, I was a little worried when Marcel and Robie went chasing after a tree that "looks pretty good from here". Now Robie has not done much of the the tree hunting, his family usually went with fake trees or ones from lots/farms. So yes I was a little worried when the boys disappeared from view and a little while latter I heard the saw fire up. But, I have to say I will never doubt his tree finding abilities again, they found the cutest little tree that fits perfectly in the corner of the living room.



I took us a little while longer to find mom and dads tree, but after lots of hunting (road hunting on my part) we found'em one.





After getting it home and a few tries to get it to stay upright (we need a new stand apparently) our Christmas decorations are complete.

Words

This project was my first attempt at hand stitching anything. I do not have fancy machines that will do letters for me so I had to figure out a way to get my letters straight and all fit on the square.

So I pulled out the tracing paper from my architecture days and wrote it on that, then I pinned it to the felt and sewed through it.



Just pulling the paper out made the stitches uneven so I used an exacto knife and tweezers to get the little pieces out, but I think it turned out okay for a first attempt.

Yummy Felt

I found this post and fell in LOVE. I was looking for someting to do while watching endless hockey games on TV and this was just the thing!
