Oh The Weather Outside Is Frightful

And the fire is so delightful, and since I have no place to go, let it snow..... well you know the rest of that. Yes it is snowing. After weeks of fine weather, Sister Winter came back for a visit.... you know... it's that sister that always bosses you around and makes you wish you had never been born. Everything is white this morning including my stupid sheep and lambs. There's a nice heat lamp in the barn but nooooo they are all out in the snow getting cold. Dumb idiots! They mill around like they enjoy getting wet and their wee ones cuddle under the trees and generally look like they're miserable.

I've been weaving up a storm (no not a snow storm). I'm finished one sleeve on the big j.c. and am now working on sleeve # 2. The putting together of this thing should go fairly quickly once I get to that point. But it is looking pretty nice. I can't wait to finish it so that you all can see it. This morning I will get out my dye pot and have a go at dying the buttons. I am using antler buttons but am dying them black with painted plum coloured flowers. I want it to be beautiful. So on it goes.

I have had some complaints lately from family members who follow my blog, of not having enough pictures of the family.... that's because it is really hard to pin those gals down and so finally I managed a few pics.... they are weird but they are a great reflection of us in the morning as we get ready for school.....

Daughter #2 wears this hat alllll the time. It is about three sizes too big but she loves it so she wears it.

Tootsie loves to lie on the back of the couch and look out the window..... here's Daughter #1 with her head on him.... getting ready for school sucks for Daughter #1. She is not a lover of mornings... or school. Yeah this picture says it all......


"Could you please stop taking pictures of me......"

Daughter #1 manages finally to have a smile on her face in the morning.


And from here it just went down hill....




Bye bye!
