We all got up 15 minutes late on Thursday morning. Yikes. Daughter forgot her school book too. I guess sleeping in a bit isn't a bad thing, but she can't miss the bus either. Weather-wise it was just cold. Nothing major... snow started about 11am (way before predicted). It's a warm 33°F this morning.
Snow is not always bad thing, unless we have wind. That's the kicker in what we'll be doing. You can't very much shovel until the storm is over either in that case.
They are now saying Sat-Mon will be the worst storm in 2 years.
(dehydrated organic mushrooms)
The crock pot wins again - Chicken Lombardy. I didn't have Marsala cooking wine, so I substituted the best I could with dry white wine and a splash of brandy. So glad I dehydrated mushrooms. It made making dinner so easy. I just had to whip up some pasta to serve it on.
I also pulled some of those holiday dinner rolls out of the freezer. It was a test run on how well they would taste after freezing the.
The results? They tasted pretty good. They were very soft.

Embellished paper clips
Heart Dishcloths
Heart cup/mug coasters
Heart Doilies
Heart key fobs (these were made last year). I posted these, to remind myself to make more, as some have sold.
. . . almost ready for a spring craft show. More to get restocked.
So, if you made it through my long post today, I have a confession. I bought a cone of what I thought was 100% cotton yarn. Sigh. It's not. Premier yarn is part polyester. What projects would this be good for? I had plans to make pot holder sets with it, and it's not 100% cotton. I do not like Premier yarn either. Oye. I wonder if I could just use it for rugs. That may be the case, unless you all have a better idea. I can't send it back, because I already crocheted a piece to start, what I thought would be a set of pot holders. I could tell by the feel that it was not 100% cotton yarn. I need to read labels better.
