It's Snowing! Get the Shovels!

Happy snowy Saturday! Snow day for us today and it looks like Sunday night into Monday will be another. I think I'm going to stay in and play today. I finished my Valentine swap items and they are ready to be shipped. Maybe later my husband will take me to the post office so I can get that mailed away.

I've been working on different bird items using mushroom birds. Sometimes I use extra little resin birds I have too.

I made a few tea cup birds and one with a match holder that came out cute. I'll photo that one later. What have you been working on?

It was a busy week here. My husband picked up our new dining set. I'm thrilled as our old one, which really wasn't very old, had been a lot of trouble lately with chairs that were no longer sturdy :(  It was stressful trying to repair them only to find it was a temporary fix. Now no worries!


I love the hutch and it has a nice light inside! Six chairs for the table. The set looks perfect for the spot it is in. Little Jinxie thinks so too. He loves to photo bomb my pictures.



I had fun decorating my hutch and I was also glad that I didn't have to remove my corner hutch as that was one of the first pieces I ever bought from Lancaster many years ago and I have an attachment to it. It must be in my home forever!

Caitlin made some Valentine ornaments for the Valentine tree--little Love Bugs. She's my love bug.


SO today that it is looking like this:

I think I'll take it easy (like Miss Molly Moo below) and clean a little, craft a little, make some chocolate chip cookies (cause Caitlin has been asking to do them) , and make a roast beef tonight for dinner....maybe shovel a little (or not!) and just settle in!
Have a super day!

  2. Wonderful furniture! I just love it! The tea cup love birds are adorable...isn't it fun to find a theme? I let my husband mail my swap package and he stuffed it down the wrong shoot. "it got stuck" he said..."I'm pretty sure they can figure out where it goes." Yikes! It has my name on the package, so the PO now thinks I'm an idiot who can't read. Happy Snow Day!
