YES we are getting MORE snow, we are after all IN the snow belt.

I am dreaming of a Latvian MITTEN....... fa la la la
well Christmas is over so I can't dream of a white Christmas.
I understand we are to get more snow here in the snow belt, imagine THAT!
I mean how could mother nature do that to us in the SNOW belt......
whatever would the palm trees think?
So here is what I have planned for the snow storm:
I got some Dalegarn Falk and some new needles...... and a few gold plated tapestry needles today.
I suppose those who are followers of fiber fantasies deserve a picture of this weeks goodies......?????
ok I will see what I can do huh?

THERE we are.
The only book I am missing from the pictures is Folk Socks by Bush and that is up on the nightstand.
While I was at the local yarn store, Jo who owns it showed me the new Dale..... in NEON colors
then told me that I was not to buy it until Friday or Saturday........
but that when I did buy it next week it was on sale at 20% off....
I want at least 2 of each..... maybe I better get 4 each?

We tried very hard to get junk food for this snow storm....

Don't let this happen to you,

learn from our mistakes.

Last big storm, us with no junk food, however since we ARE junk food impaired while we did go shopping I don't think we actually got alot of bona fide junk food, none the less we did try.

We got fruit........ mmmmmmmmm oranges, strawberries, grapes, bananas, and PINK lady apples....... my favs. Is anyone else thinking fruit salad?

We got a ton of veggies like snow peas etc..........

And oh yeah, a thing called 'hot pockets'

We did try.

We also got a zillion gallons of juice!
hahahahaha
Oh and some peach preserves.

I am in a wonderful mood lately, as soon as I got my antibiotics and terminated my involvement with a project that was very upsetting. ( that last was a shame as I'd already finished the work, and was about to upload it to the web, but what can you do. What should have been a lot of fun turned into a nightmare)

Bernie used the snowthrower to get the last storm off the driveway as it was flurrying all around him.

I have yet to get to Hancock fabric for the fabric & stuff for the new needle cases and knitting bags.

Sunday is the impromptu sock class at Carole's for the spin group, Bernie is baking a cinnamon swirl cake... I am making cookies for Diana, (Carole's daughter and my goat pusher) the snickerdoodles I owe her from when she had her wisdom teeth out.

In Goatie news, we are waiting for another one that is due Monday and possibly will be having her's on Sunday while I am FINALLY out there....... yeah for goaties!!!!
If she does......I may just come home with a goatie kid and a bottle! Someone please remind me to take the camera?
I really need to get a video camera for these little guys.

I am waiting for some goodies to come from Patternworks, shhhhhhhhhh don't tell anyone
I am getting the 'Year of Mittens' and the Chibi thingies.
Then after that all I need is my Latvian Mitten book and some time.....
I will be color knitting until my eye balls fall out.......hahahahaha

On the doll front, I have one I am working on (C 1760 English) that I am doing an article for. When I get that done I have to do some new sculptures for some larger figures. I am going to sculpt in Apoxyclay for these, instead of porcelain. I am going to do a test on this, and try it with my master molds. I think if it works I will keep doing the sculptures for the masters that way instead of in porcelain clay.
well Bernie is calling me, he is upstairs.....
sooooo
til next time
