Finally the snow is gone (I think)

As I vacuumed today the last remnants of the snowstorm that hit our house when the Portland Christmas box got opened up are gone. At least I think they are gone. The boys had so much fun playing in the snow, then Jayden would sweep it up and they would jump in it again. I knew it wouldn't stain, break anything or hurt anyone, so I just let them play. Here are some pictures. I am posting here so I don't forget and I didn't want to take away from Christine's well wishes.

january sewing

So, I made a New Years Resolution to do one sewing project a month. And this is what I did this month...

I finally made some draft snakes to put under the doorways and on windowsills to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. Unfortunately I used all the rice I had, ( I finally used up a 4 pound bag from Costco!) so I haven't made any more. I need to make a BIG one for the sliding glass door in the back room.

And I made a sewing machine cover. I made this in a couple of days. It's supposed to be reversible, (has green corduroy on the inside) but I was having one heck of a time with the binding tape, so I said, forget it. Maybe if I got bigger binding tape, I could figure it out, but for now...it'll work.
