Sooo Cold..

Its been unbelievable cold here in 

Northern MN..

We have also had lots and lots of snow

which means, lots and lots of snow removal..

I have enjoyed being inside putzen, projects and playing.

here are a couple projects of late..

so if you look at the bread picture,

in the corner you can see a bit of this spice cabinet

before i painted it.

painted black, sanded and stained

years ago i had seen a tool caddy

for a wool cutter..

i even had started cutting one out.

i just knew i could find something old in the basement..

i found Marks old vintage shoe shine kit 

i had to disassemble a bit.

it was a cool blue but needed a new paint job.

its perfect!

i made a little hook holder 

and added a bit..

so i had washed and cut up a few wool

coats i have had..

and was thinking id use my dads old wool coat

for the borders but i think i like the black better.

and even have enough i think!

the black/brown would probably

 look good around the circles.

i tend to love these colors together...

Auntie Pat gave me Grandmas lamp

she used for her embroidery projects.

i ordered a new irish pencil hook,

what a difference it is for me!

i love love love it!

thank you for all your help and input 

with my dying questions..

hopefully i will have some show/tell soon!

i have a new grandpup!

she's a 13 week German Shepeard - Harley!

Oliver looks like he is pouting a bit here

but soon he will enjoy having a sister!

i love and am so thankful that

my childrens fur babes are

a very important part of their family 

and not out in a kennel.

But they grew up with fur babies inside

and part of our family..

enjoy your wintery days my blog friends!               jody
