Snow & Stash Busting Report

We received about 8 inches of snow and the winds produced some good drifts. Here's a couple of pictures of our driveway area and deck. Jim cleared most of the driveway this afternoon after the winds died down. Tonight he found the deck. Although this is a lot of snow for this time of year nowadays, I remember storms that made walls of snow on either side of the driveway when the tractor cleared a path. The schools are all closed for tomorrow. Can you hear all of the children in the area yelling with excitement?

I'm not sure if I gained any ground again this week with my stash busting. Does the fabric bought for The Clothesline Club projects count against me? I cut and stitched 80 nine patches for Step 3 of Bonnie's mystery, I made a string block to send to Mary in MN, three teddy bears for my sewing buddies, and a pillowcase all from my stash. However, I did buy the current kit plus an extra yard of fabric for TCC projects.

  2. It sounds like you were very productive!!! Thanks for sharing the show photos... reminds me of when I was a kid and we'd occasionally get a big storm in KY. I miss the snow. Here where we are, it is hard to get in the Christmas sprit with such warm weather. Yesterday it was in the 70s.

    Merry Christmas from Texas! ~Bonnie

  12. sounds like you are doing well to me. Just the fact that nothing came in your house is a good accomplishment!

    I envy you that snow. At least we got some this year - all of about 1/4".
