Yop but not on Ravelry

 I forgot to take a photo of the plants that arrived.  They are very healthy and were packed extremely well.   They also contribute part of their sales to their local animal shelters.  

The snow is here.  It started about noon and everything is covered.  So pretty!  It's only 5 degrees here which so strange for this area.   We won't get a lot of snow like up North but I'll take what I can get.

The birds are having a feeding frenzy at the feeder and sitting on my windowsill which keeps them out of the snow and there's 2 suets and plenty of food for all!  I'm not sure what that red breasted bird is.  I've had cardinals, downy woodpecker, regular BIG woodpecker, goldfinches, purple finches, chickadees, Cedar Waxwings but I've not seen this little red breasted bird before.  Does anyone know? 

I'm still working on the ornaments and I have finished #3 and have started #4........

I've made progress on my dining room which was really my sewing room and quite the mess!  I did work on my morning stitch...Baby Jesus........I only work on it for about 15 minutes in the morning but it is amazing what you can get done if you stick with it...

Anniversaries of the heart is coming along but not sure I will get this first block done by February.....but we'll see............

 

I also worked on my crocheted Prism blanket and I'm almost done with the leg of sock #1.

I have a fire going in the fireplace and Connie, I am making your "Browns" cookies....one of my favorites!  I'll try and get around to everyone this week.  It was crazy last week with errands, storms, and bills to pay but it all got done before either of the storms arrived.  I hope you all have a great week and stay safe!

Happy Trails!!!

Sounds like your daughter might have gotten more snow than she wanted. They got blasted up there in some parts. My cousins live in storm lake and they are buried in it. Your snow photo looks so peaceful and lovely. Stay warm and safe.

Four degrees today when I went to get groceries. We were supposed to get a big snow during the week (we didn't) and I think everyone bought milk and bread back then. There were only 4 other customers in the store and all the shelves were stocked. I timed my visit just right. Of course having Mr Merry drop me off at the door and pick me up at the door worked well with the weather.
Stay warm and take care of yourself!

The weather is just awful here. It hasn't been above 0 since last Wednesday. We're a little concerned with the fact that it's still going to be -18 or so after we leave for our trip. There won't be anyone monitoring the pipes and that worries me a bit.
Not to mention trying to drive to Texas on Wednesday. Lots of roads are still closed. You've made good progress on your projects. Those little ornaments are really cute.
Blessings,
Betsy
