Picture of the Day

Feet of snow, followed by an ice storm...why does that always happen!?
So yet another snow day...for hubby and myself. The roads are dangerously covered with ice and well, practically everything is closed in town. So we decided to have a movie day. It seems fun, but this much snow has been kinda overwhelming and a lot of work. It felt good to rest. Between the daily shoveling, we also endured our main water pipe freezing from the house to the street. Our kitchen also flooded and THIS flooded into the downstairs studio (Luckily no damage occurred there) Hey, atleast that means we finally get that new kitchen floor we've been wanting and the carpet is very clean in the studio now! Yesterday we also noticed we have a large tree limb down in the backyard. And many people have been loosing electricity. Crazy huh! 
I just got "the Call" that we will once again have another snow day tomorrow.
Which, finally DOES mean a sew day!
And like I've said before, I'm so grateful for this hobby of ours
 as it keeps me motivated during this harsh winter.
Stay tuned...

  2. I'm sorry you are having such horrible weather but the picture of your house could be a postcard. I'm happy that the flooding didn't damage anything in the studio. Stay safe and enjoy your sew day.

  3. We are expecting an ice storm to roll in this afternoon into the evening - those are not fun! Everything is getting cancelled (even our guild meeting) in anticipation. Broken pipes are no fun. Stay Safe!!

  6. Hope you are staying warm and cuddling with some quilts. We have had a lot of rain which melted the snow, but lots of black ice on the roads in the morning.

  7. Oh dear, one forgets all the problems your beautiful wintry wonderland brings. You must be exhausted after this latest deluge. Staying in and watching movies and sewing up a storm sounds like an excellent idea. Have a lovely day, lovely Val. Stay warm......and dry!

  10. It has sounded like crazy weather in so many places. Sorry about the freeze, but glad you are going to get that new floor.

  11. At least there is an up side to the freeze in - several with the new floor, clean carpet and a sewing day - hope it doesn't last too long though - your sanity mightn't last if you are locked up for an extended time!

  12. Oh my gosh that's a LOT of snow!! But look how cute your house is! I'm sorry for the frustration and inconvenience (I've had an indoor flood and it's NO FUN!) But do take advantage and get some stitching done, it relieves stress after all. Stay safe and warm!

  15. Oh, definitely not a good week! Hopefully things are a little better in your neck of the woods. We've had some icing, but the worst will probably happen tonight.
