As with the rest of the South . . . . .

We are on our 2nd full snow day.  The heat in the house is set to 65° but it still feels colder than that.  We haven't seen the sun for a while, making it feel even colder.

I have plenty of sewing to do but haven't even ventured in to the sewing room.  I did try a little hand work last night but mostly I have stayed bundled up on the couch with Dear Hubby.

Dear Hubby and I did make it out side for a little fun in the snow yesterday morning.  He only managed to get this picture of me!

And this was my good side!

Reagan and Nelson seemed to love it.  We couldn't get them to come inside.  They sure took a long nap in the afternoon.

One big remodeling project is almost finished.  When the sun comes out and the light is better, I will take pictures.

Stay warm!

Boy, that took a long time to finish ! . . . . .

Not really, I was just lazy.  And didn't take any pictures along the way but it was pretty straight forward.

I just painted it black, sanded it then stained with Tudor Brown Bri-wax.  I did cut a hole in the back for the candle plug to go through.  

I would love to show it to you with the candle lit but the outlet it is plugged into was one of the many Money Pit episodes we had this year.  We'll save that story for another day.

The greenery is fake but easily could have been filled with some cedar from my many cedar trees on the property.  Christmas decorations are going away any day now so I will be back to show you what I do with it for the rest of the year.

And maybe the light will be on by then!

Next Prim project picked out . . . . .

I've been busy with a few organizational things this week along with getting ready to teach a class tomorrow.   I've reorganized the cabinets in the utility room, the closet under the stairs and the upstairs hallway.  Nothing worth showing pictures of.

But I have picked out my next little project I hope to start on Sunday afternoon.  Here are some of the parts. . . . 

I hope to show something finished next week.  Depends on the weather.  We don't have a garage so I have to do a lot of my smelly (like Briwax) crafting outside.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Mommy, look at our midnight snack . . . . .

The boys usually don't mess with any of the household items at night.  Really, they don't.  But last night they must have been really bored.

Yup, Dear Hubby's golf shoes.  We keep the boys locked in the utility room at night with a baby gate.  There are lots of shoes and ball caps and "things" in there but they have NEVER messed with any of them.

They have plenty of toys.  These are just a few that I could find.  Hermann Munster still has his squeaky toys inside!  No small feat for them.  The squeakys are usually the first things to go.  I just have to make sure that they have a few in with them at night.  Guess I missed last night!

They do look a little guilty this morning.  But I'm sure they will get over it.

And now Dear Hubby can put new golf shoes on his Christmas list.  He's really excited about that.

Blessings, Cathi
