Snowy Sunday
Woke up this morning to this… It has continued to lightly snow all day, while simultaneously melting. It’s around 34-35 degrees here, so it won’t last long. But it’s pretty anyway!

I have two projects going right now, my Powdermill cardigan and my Mom’s mittens. Alissa of Snakes & Cranes and I started Powdermill on January 1st of this year as a KAL. It was going strong for a while, then I set it aside for other stuff. But now I’m going to get it finished!… Continue reading Wednesday WIPs
I’m happy to report my bird and squirrel feeding efforts are going well! We’ve had all kinds of visitors to the back yard over the last few weeks. Having a good variety of food out for them is helping I think. We mostly get smaller birds, though occasionally I see a cardinal or crow out… Continue reading Livestock Report

After a fair amount of trouble and strife, we got my mural wallpaper up! Now… Continue reading House Progress
Same two projects as last week, but a bit more progress 🙂 The first door curtain is done, and I’ve got a little start on the second one. I was debating free-forming the “pattern” on the second one, but decided to try to make it more or less match the first one. So #1 won’t… Continue reading Thursday ThWIPs
One of the great things about our new house is the yard. It is pretty vast for a house in a town. I am plotting and planning for some gardening, but that is a next year thing. What I can do right now is set up some bird feeders! I love feeding and watering birds,… Continue reading For the Birds
