Ice Storm(s)
We've had some excitement- first, snow last week and then cold weather and rain and several ice storms. My office is closed if the schools are out, so A and I have had the last two days off. We're not 100 sure that there will be school tomorrow, but I HAVE to go into the office and put the finishing touches on our annual report. It's been a nice 4-day weekend though, I have to admit. I've not done a whole lot outside of the house other than a couple of trips to the gym, but I've been busy with Christmas Cards and present-making. That, and Saturday (it just rained, it hadn't frozen yet) A.G. and I went to St Louis to play. We had Thai food for lunch and went to the Rock and Roll Craft Show, Independent Holiday Art Fair, and of course Trader Joe's and REI. If we'd only had longer we would have hit the Body Worlds exhibit, and probably the malls and CostCo.... but there just wasn't enough time in the day. The Rock and Roll Craft Show was fun- I'd read about it on cnn.com. THere was a lot of cool stuff there, but a lot of it fit into the "I could make that!" category, and the line to see the jewelry was looong. I did pick up a few Christmass presents though.
I finally figured out how to post multiple images well, so here goes... hopefully this will work. Here's what I've been up to the past few months/ some house pics:
First, couch pillows:
Log cabin couch pillow:
Throw/quilt for the new couch:
Stocking for A (and Petey):
My stocking:
Cube ottoman covers:
Fabric on entryway closet (used to be wallpaper):
Placemats woven from wedding silk table runners (there's also orange wedding silk in some of the throw pillows and showing up in a lot of the christmas presents I've been making that I don't have pics of yet):
Closeup of second set of wedding silk placemats- these have a green warp. The white-warp ones are a christmas present for my mom. I made 12 total- 2 sets of 6, and I still have a ton of silk left!
And last, pincushions:
