Snow? Yarn?

Yesterday afternoon it really started snowing! I thought we would probably get 3 to 4 inches, but from the pictures I took this morning you can see we only got about a half inch, and most of it was ice.  Would so like to be with you, Katie, in Kitty Hawk where I bet it is warm and sunny;)

Looking out the front door.

Summer tools left out for the winter!

Snow in the yard. The first of the season.

Ice on the trees.

 After pictures it was time to sit and relax with a cup of blueberry green tea in my Haldecraft teacup,

and check out my new yarn acquisitions that I got yesterday. First I took a drive to Ferrum, VA and picked up my last Victorian club shipment from Natasha of Unplanned Peacock. It's always great to see the new colorways and patterns that she comes up with for each month. Next year's club is going to be about Fairy Tales.

Then in the mail I received my very first skeins of Yarn vs Zombies in the Damsel base all the way from Australia. I got Party Shoes Purple and Barossa Valley colorways. Not sure what I am going to do with it yet, but I'm sure I'll think of something. Also in the package was a pack of Haribo, Happy Cola candies. I've decided to save those to try out with you, Katie. Candies from Australia-how neat is that!

Plus I stopped by the local yarn shop, the Crooked Stitch, and picked up my Mountain Colors and Simply Worsted to start on the Pop Blanket. That's where I also picked up my Clark Gable mitt to work on. Unfortunately, I forgot to get Whitney, (the wonderful owner of this fantastic shop) to wind the yarn for me so I could get started on them, but I have plenty to keep me busy until I can back to see her.

Well, hubby just called and he's coming home for lunch, so I guess I'll put on my chef's hat and get lunch ready.
Until next time.
