Snippets, blizzards, and a snow bunny

Here's the snippet roll I made for the Oh, So Pretty, Oh So Vintage swap:

Rolled and tied

The top, with its wire embellishment that looks pretty and also serves as a hanger for the snippet roll.

 My partner wanted soft colors

 Vintage velvet and silk flowers

 An initial "C" in French laundry tape

The bottom...do you see the tiny, mother-of-pearl butterfly button?
She liked it because, she said, it matched the colors of her craft room.

I'm excited to receive mine from Cathee!

Did you hear about our blizzard on Wednesday?

It was 65 degrees in my town the day before, and that evening we had a severe weather warning, and then the next morning we had crazy wind, blowing snow, and white-out conditions.
I stayed home from work.  It was a very unpopular move (my boss gave me a hard time), but it ended up being the right one.  At my age, I never doubt my intuition about these things!

The photo above is from a local news station, and was taken along my alternate route to work -- the highway I use was already closed -- and of course this road was eventually closed down as well.

My co-workers who live out my way never made it home from work that day!

Meanwhile, I was glad to be safe and cozy at home, and I had a chance to sew this new ottoman cover.  I made it to match the pillows on our new sofa.

We got even more snow last night.

Look who I found next to my penguin in my front flower bed this morning!

I wish it was sunny and warm; alas, I have chores to do at home, inside, today, so it's probably just as well.
