Nesting...getting ready for the big snow.

What I wore today. My husband asked "where are you going" I laughed...I just dropped off the kid at school. Maybe it was the skirt? I love skirts.

Handknitted hat & handwarmers made by.....me!

Skirt from Sarah Clemens

Studded bag from Cha Cha Samples

Boots from Land's End


Just another beautiful day in North Idaho....all the trees will be bare soon. It will be a colorless monochrome-ish look for awhile then.

I found the right chair! I stopped by a fave furniture re-seller in Lewiston, the other day. Perfect chair for the kids desk! The best price too, you can't beat $9.99 I love a piece of furniture, that I don't need to gussy up or change.

The chair also works fab for a spinning chair. Just the right height!

Other crafty doings...I finished my long awaited duvet. Fabric.com goofed on my order twice before they sent the correct yardage. The new Tina Givens fabric looks swell with the green dot one I bought at Joann Fabrics. My new thrifted afghan looks great too. I'm a sucker for anything afghan.

It's cold out, and we're enjoying the heat by the wood stove. Things the family and I have been enjoying: hot chocolate...and wool blankets. I brought my knits out last week, and stowed my Summer sandals at the same time. Living in a small house, storage is everything. I scored a great chair for my daughter! I also finished my duvet. I had been procrastinating making the button holes for the closure. It had been a few years since I had done a button hole. I rocked it out on my Grandma's vintage slant needle Singer. It has a great attachment that makes military precision style button holes. I don't know what I was afraid of.

They are were buttonholes of awesome! The 55+ year old machine is still whirring along. I adore having a machine in the house. As much as I love my little studio, stitching while everyone else is doing their own thing.

Now all I need to do, is get that quilt done!
