today...

hello...
 
how have you all been?
 
me? eh... i'm sitting in my breakfast nook with sun streaming through the window typing this post...
 
it feels warm and cozy but the sun is deceiving... {and my windows need cleaning!}

the girls had another snow day today and i woke up very early this morning to the sounds of thundersnow... so bizarre... and loud...
 
it was hard to get out of bed... 
you know when you're all snuggled in... knowing that you really have no place to be... it makes it easier to pull the covers up a little bit tighter...
 
this was the view from my window... 
 
things could be worse...
i'm trying to focus on the good in this day rather than the stir crazy setting in... {because believe me... it's setting in!}
 
i got our room cleaned... and a couple of loads of laundry done... the girls are hanging out nicely together... a friend of theirs is over... i enjoyed lunch with john... he whipped up steak nachos and they were delish!
 
and i spent a little time trying to figure out how to make a granny square flower... don't ask me why i decided to give this a whirl now... there are plenty of other things that i should be doing...
 i actually think i let myself get sidetracked like this in order to prolong doing something that i know really needs done...
i think i've finally got it though... there's one spot that's bugging me so don't look too closely...
 it's tricky when tying off with several colors... 
 i'm happy that i figured it out though... {i can check that off of my list}... it's pretty cute... not sure what to do with it exactly... maybe i'll make a few more and turn it into a sweet, little garland... we'll see...
 
so... how was your day? did you get anything accomplished? do anything fun?

I don't live in a snowy climate - so much so that I have to sometimes force myself to go inside and actually do some projects instead of reading in the garden - but I totally get the fun of doing one thing when I should be doing another. Yesterday I decided to make some napkins with a decorative edge when i should have been doing laundry, weeding in the garden, scrubbing the bathroom . . . The napkins are so much more fun to look at than a sparkling bathroom.

You make me want to master a little crocheted flower piece, but I don't know what I would do with it.

Can we talk about your gorgeous duvet cover in that picture? Where is that jewel from? I love the view from your window. Is that leaded glass? Swoon!
