Truffles and brittle and sponge candy and jellies and caramels and choco covered peanuts. Oh My!!! |
All this to say I didn't get much sewing done this weekend (not even a single hexie!) cuz I never want to see another cookie or piece of choco and had to clear the car and another 6" from the drive again this morning!! (Don't believe me - I had a ginger krinkle for breakfast!) Please don't think I'm complaining - it's great exercise and it's still the fluffy snow that I like to shovel. I can also wave to the neighbors as they do their drives or cross country ski up the street. It was a brisk 18F (or -10C!) but I can still break a sweat. :^)
I just need to finish ironing that pile to complete Step #1. This week should be a little slower and I can work on Steps 2 and 3. |
Current total in my yard is 14" altho I am not sure how accurate this is since the wind has been blowing and the sun was actually out for a few minutes. It is supposed to continue snowing all week until Friday when it will be 43F and raining. Double Yuck! since it's my annual road trip to the city for Xmas shopping and a non-LQS.
Instead of "Where's Waldo" ... Let's play "Where's Zorro"???? |
I had to wipe the drool from my chin before I could begin typing. :D Your candy looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of your "Bonnie" quilt. (Can't remember the name!!??) The blues are so clear and look nice with the whites.
I see his little ears peeking up! Wow, how fun to get to do all of that baking with your family!
ReplyDeleteWow what a marathon baking session, I am sure your family and friends will be happy to help you eat it all! While you are facing snow, here in Australia we are expecting 40C on Thursday and high 30's the days prior. So I just love seeing pictures of the cold...I guess it would be a different story if I had ever had to shovel snow in my life!
ReplyDeleteHope that you get some stitching time soon, happy quilting Sue SA.
Who cares about the hexies or the peaky and spikes - bring on the candy and cookies!!!! Oh my god - you look like you are baking/cooking for an army!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you have been busy!
ReplyDeleteAnd I still like seeing the snow pictures, like Sue who commented above. I will think of your snow when we are melting tomorrow. I don't like it when the temperature outside my body is higher than the internal one.
Holy moly.......!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of baking........
Looks very nice too.
I love your blues for the mystery quilt........it's going to look great.
-10degrees.......oh my !
The coldest weather I've experienced was -7 one frosty morning back in Victoria.
I've never seen snow before.....oneday I hope to.
That is a lot of cookies and candy!! We had 14" the first storm and had 3" today and I guess 3" coming tomorrow. We are plowing, snowblowing, and shoveling every day. Yes, lite snow is good exercise but I already wish for Spring.
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks like my MIL's house when she used to have her holiday candy making sessions! It also reminded me of my soap making sessions, but I don't taste-test any of it.
ReplyDeleteLove your cute "snowing" photo!!
Wow - that's a lot of candy! We haven't made a thing yet - usually have an annual cookie bake, but haven't even talked about it. Time just goes by too quickly! Love "Where's Zorro"! Cute little ears sticking up!
