Last Night

we had ferocious winds, along with rain/sleet, then snow

Our electric began to flicker and we know all too well, after three flickers,

it's going out...and it did.

while sitting, enjoying the quiet by the light of the oil lamps, I started thinking...

time seems to slow down when there is no electricity.

Why?...

maybe because one doesn't have all those digital clocks staring at you

 with their brightly illuminated numbers...

they are everywhere.... kitchen stoves, microwaves, alarm clocks...on & on & on.

As the night crept on...slowly...I just looked around my dimly lit home...seems to look

so much better by the light of oil lamps and candles.  Warm and Cozy

I went to bed thinking that I was born in the wrong century (I think this often)

..or maybe I'm a reincarnation of an old soul that walked & worked this land hundreds of years ago.  Just yearning for the days of old.  The simple ways, the simple life.

Simply,

Traci

New Offerings to Share

Kitty Krazy Annie

she'll be listed on Ebay

Three Little Prim Teddies

They are up for adoption on my selling blog

The creative juices are flowing and boy does it feel good.  Usually this time of year they seem to freeze up on me, LOL.  So far, so good!

Austin left this morning to go back to college...the house is soooo quiet.

Wishing you a Happy Day!

Revamped, Reworked, Refreshed

Those three R's.....aRe what I have been up to.

Revamped, reworked & refreshed both my selling blog and this one.  I just can't seem to leave things the same way for too long.  Guess it's like rearrranging the furniture!

Speaking of refreshed, we have a brand new blanket of snow...it's super cold & windy outside.  The weather changed overnight and plunged us into winter once again.

Here are some pictures of the outdoors earlier today

Lil' Hemlock all struggling under the weight of ice & snow

Just after the plow went through (for the 2nd time), I believe it was up our road 4 times today.

Overnight icicles

This is my most recent finish

Lil Sleepy Pantry Mouse ~N~ Cheese

(mouse pattern by Staglane Primitives)

I thought the picture was cute, reminded me of a cozy winter day so I used the pic to make a new header.

Also finished up a couple more early offerings and a different Mouser today, I have listed all my newest handmades on my website for sale.  Still trying to rework my selling blog some so I'm holding off listing things there for a bit. 

I'm off to find my flannel pj's and snuggle in....

Hoping to have a cozy, winter weekend

and

I wish you the same

XOXOX
