Oh Snow Pretty & Powerless ~

Finally...
Winter showed her beautiful self to us here in Virginia yesterday...

we haven't seen a flake, but just look at what we have this morning!

sweet little bunting fluffing up from the cold ~

a beautiful view from the tiny pantry window...

...it's a marshmallow world.

a view of our backwoods ~

the barn & chicken coops...

....another little snow bunting

~ Pinocchio in the snow ~

~ quiet and beautiful ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

and,

since we've been snowbound, we were also without power for 15hrs ~
we melted snow on the woodstove to wash with, lit candles and played games last night till we went to bed...

but before I did that,
what better time to pull some floss and choose a linen to start a new design with?

the colors are DMC and the linen is
Weeks' Confederate Grey ~ 30ct.

what do you think of my choices?

my thanks to you all who purchased my new designs...
they are available in my etsy shop now as well ~

I am off to shovel, then if I can get out of the driveway (it's 1/2 mile long)
I'll get to the post office to ship ~ if I can't I will ship tomorrow morning for sure!!!!

have a beautiful day Folks!!!

blessings from the farm,
