Weather, Day 6 & Progress ~

YEP!

that's right ~

Old Man Winter & Mother Nature

 have blessed us yet again with another cold blast of Arctic Air 

and served us up one FROZEN day!

{and I don't mean Disney folks!}

SO

Due to the 19 degree temps,

and the fact that our once mud-saddled driveway {read: 1/2 mile long dirt & gravel road}

has now turned into an ice-chute slippery enough for the 2025 Olympic Scandinavian Luge Team,

We Are Closed Today.

...and possibly tomorrow too.

depending on the Old Man & Mother's sense of humor…

it looks like temps are rising as we speak 

and that will hopefully melt the 5+ inches we received from them yesterday, but…

that will once again turn our drive into another rut-riddled mud-slide.

it's pretty, definitely ~

to look at through our old wavy-glass farmhouse windows…

Pinocchio & Daisy waiting for breakfast in the sparkly snow….

see?

 the ice crystals are melting on the window….

snow snow go away!

and here is my progress on my

Sepia Sampler…

i'm loving the 'quietness' of this design

and how soft-looking it is ~

alphabets are a favorite of mine to stitch, so I created one just for this project.

here are three of the 5 colors of threads stitched so you can see how they look together ~

DMC 611

DMC 640

&

DMC 3021

I'm using 1 strand of floss over two threads of the Week's 30ct. Parchment linen.

and my thread is waxed with pure beeswax.

I'm hoping to add much more to it today, 

so keep an eye on my Facebook page 

~ as I may pop in a few more progress snaps of this over there ~
