Bing Crosby "Snow" from White Christmas

Yes this is the song that jumped in my mind when I shot these photos.

Snow

It won't be long before we'll all be there with snow

Snow

I want to wash my hands, my face and hair with snow

Snow

I long to clear a path and lift a spade of snow

Snow

Oh, to see a great big man entirely made of snow

Where it's snowing

All winter through

That's where I want to be

Snowball throwing

That's what I'll do

How I'm longing to ski

Through the snow-oh-oh-oh-oh

Those glist'ning houses that seem to be built of snow

Snow

Oh, to see a mountain covered with a quilt of snow

What is Christmas with no snow

No white Christmas with no snow

Snow

I'll soon be there with snow

I'll wash my hair with snow

And with a spade of snow

I'll build a man that's made of snow

I'd love to stay up with you

but I recommend a little shuteye

Go to sleep

And dream

Of snow

Not a thing we can do about all the SNOW but enjoy it!!
Warm hugs to everyone,

PINK Saturday

It's been awhile since I've posted anything and it just kept getting harder to post. I even thought about not blogging any more. Well a PINK Saturday post just seems what I need to get started again! First let me wish everyone a Happy New Year! This is my mantle decorated for Christmas.  I know Christmas is way over but there is some pretty pink here.

I just love the handpainted rose floral plate in the center.

This little snow angel is the last needle felting I've done.

I'm MIA for a few week and they go and change how to do post here on blogger!

Just a reminder to stop over at Bev's blog How Sweet the Sound and visit other PINK participants. Wish everyone a wonderful PINK weekend!

Warm hugs,

Snow, Snow, Snow!

It's been so busy around here and I've no time to blog (just visit a few blogs everyday). Here's a couple photos of our snow on Saturday about 5". We live in the city but it still looked very pretty!

Warm hugs,

PINK Saturday

Seems like every thing I needle felt recently is PINK! Just finished these two pieces.

Stop by Bev's and see the other participants in PINK Saturday. Wish you all a wonderful weekend!

Organized clutter!!

Yesterday I was getting my website ready for the upcoming Christmas Carnival on SaturdayNovember 28th which I'm participating in. Last night about 1 AM I was working on my needle felted Angel Snowman for my giveaway and needed some blue ribbon...it has to be here some where!

Maybe it's in one of the bins - sitting here at my computer I see 4 plastic bins and don't really know what's in any of them except stuff for crafts, Ebay, personal?

Pulled all of this out of the green bin (my favorite way of organizing)

no blue ribbon in there!

More clear plastic bins!



Maybe I bought some at Big Lots

More clear bins

Pretty boxes for ribbon storage




Here's a bag from the church thirft store - everything was 1/2 price paid $1.25 for all these treasures!

Never did find any blue ribbon but I'm really frustrated and unhappy about my cluttered Shabby Cottage. This isn't something that just happened recently but the clutter had gotten much worse since selling on Ebay (inventory!), blogging and my re-interest in crafting.
So today I decided to clean up around here and started a new blog
DeCluttering Our Shabby Cottage

I know something else to take up my time but I'm hoping this will hold me accountable and keep me on track.

So I'd better hurry up and finish my Angel Snowman!

Warm hugs,

PINK Saturday 6/6

A few weeks ago I took my sister Cheri out to lunch for her birthday and then we did a little shopping. What else do you do after lunch!

And I found this cute pink bench.

And thought it would be perfect for some of my needle felted critters.

This bear was my first needle felting project.

Here's a snowman all decked out in Pittsburgh Steeler / Penguin colors!

This robin kinda looks cute on the bench.

These lambs look sweet on a pink bench.

And here is Hildie the country mouse...she's going to the Mouse Ball.

There are still many more felt critters hanging around the house and they are multiplying! Do you think I should try to sell them? How do you decide how much to charge? I've never sold anything I've made...maybe I should just buy more benches!

Don't forget to visit Beverly's blog How Sweet the Sound and see the list of everyone participating in PINK Saturday.

Warm wishes,
