In a so-called blizzard

We are supposed to get a heap of snow! (*smirking* and all fingers crossed... but power on for the birdie, please!)

We are also supposed to get our butts kicked by this so called blizzard. They expect such an intense storm that they called a driving ban... Um, what?!? I have never even heard of that before! I guess the last time there was a driving ban during a storm was the blizzard of '78. Yikes!

Anyway, we didn't plan on going out for a drive anyway. We have been entertaining ourselves by playing Wii and listening to music while doing silly dances. And it hasn't been too bad so far, it is windy and a bit snowy, but that is about all. We might try to go sledding later or a late night wintery walk.

I did go for a walk this morning in the woods just as the snow started and the wind picked up, it was nice out there. Quiet, except the wind whirring through the trees. Quiet, but not still.

I like walking out in the vast deciduousness and transitioning into the pockets of evergreens. They are all snuggled together letting less light sneak through. It seems so cozy to be a tree in that part of the forest and the floor is always covered with fluffy, shaggy moss. It is quite nice. But still I hope for an accumulation of snow so I can feel the woods sleeping underneath my footsteps. So I can smell the sweet, crisp and fresh air that wafts up.

I can't wait to wake up to everything sheltered in white!

I have had these beads waiting for me to work with them for a while.

So I made some necklaces.

HERE.

Meanwhile...

I am hoping for more snow.

Fingers crossed!

Happenings

These are cards that I made prints of out of some of my original paintings.

They come as a pack of 4 (the 4 you see here) and are 5x7.

In the shop now!

Also, I will be putting these necklaces in the shop soon,

as well as a few other things,

so stay tuned!

I'm off to knitting night in a bit at our local yarn shop

(which is awesome, by the way... check them out here)

for some knitting and many laughs.

Then maybe head out of town to see a friends band play...

Happy Friday, Y'all!

A Happy Snow... Part 2

The snow is all gone now.

And today I am wishing for more.

I have a few things I am photographing to put in the shop.

So, now onto my list of 'things to do' for the day...

This is how walking out in the snow makes me feel...

...And this is how walking out in the snow makes veda feel!

Happy Snow... Part 1

A few days ago we got a beautiful, happy snow.

We didn't get much (maybe about an inch), but it was sticky so it held onto and covered everything.

It was most wonderful to explore the forest with...

As per usual (and because I think the sad reality is that winter is a dying season around here)the next day it was 50 degrees and the snow was gone in an instant.

Today is the same story, but raining.

It is hard enough already, living on the coast, it effects the temperature and the weather so much.

I love snow.

A snowy winter day is my favorite time of year to be outside in the woods...

Do any of you feel the same way?

Have you noticed the change in the seasons where you are?

I am so thankful for the few days of snow we do get now.

I am hoping we get snow again soon (it is supposedly predicted for tomorrow, so fingers crossed).

xoxo

Hold your heart in your hands

Sadly it doesn't seem to snow much here now, but last night we got enough to cover everything and turn this part of the world white...
So happy!

I have been knitting like crazy lately. It seems to be a good handcraft to help me through the transition of the year, as well as the transitions happening in my life.

I will be putting these in the shop later. Just in time for valentines, maybe... What do you think?

Happy snowy day, my little owlettes!
