What we're are crafting on a Sunday Snow Day.

I was excited before heading to bed last night thinking it might be a snow day. I was so glad when I woke up and found it was!  Prudence (the small lamb) doesn't look as pleased as I was. 

Norman loved it!

This meant it was a day of crafting for us. 

My sister from another mother brought me this fabulous fabric!!

I have a wild idea for this fabric and began cutting it out. I hope it works. 

Dude began to work on his train with the football game playing in the background. 

I also wanted to see how easy these candies would be to make so melted the green candies in the microwave and used a butter knife to put into the mold.  Then off to the freezer to harden. 

There was some leftover glasses from the party. One of my friends broke her glass when she got home.  I etched her a new one.

I wanted to make brownies and got the box out to make them. When I went to bake them someone swapped the box for an angel food cake mix.  Okay... have it your way... but my way... grin... you'll see what I mean in a minute.

I took a break while it baked. My grandson facetimed me.  He was having cocoa in the mug he made yesterday while I had tea.  We chatted for a good long while about crafts, his friend Davis and his game of match cards. 

A friend left these amazing cookies yesterday. I wish I could remember the name of them.  You place them over your coffee or tea cup and in the thin middle layer is caramel that slowly melts.  oh be still my heart! 

Time for the cake to disembark the tube pan!  

My candies turned out wonderful and decorated the cake with them!

Bahahaha

The mousers were so tired of working all night out in the field and snow. The had a well-deserved rest in front of the fire.

Tonight is a new book.

A very hot Saturday...

I worked most the morning weeding the herb garden and Dude was watering the greenhouse and moving bags of dirt.  He is used to this heat.  I am usually at an office desk so cold I have to turn on my space heater... yes in the summer.  I was dripping buckets of sweat. 

The birds were all trying to cool off as well. The teenage turkeys stayed in the turkey house and didn't want to venture out. 

We welcomed a chicken in the greenhouse to take care of grasshoppers.  I was glad when she left an hour or so later... we might have had fried chicken for dinner. 

The large turkey was cooling in the shade. 

I found most of the chickens in the horse stall partying. 

Mr. Rooster thinks he is stunning. 

Yep, that's the dog's nose sniffing it's way under the stall … ymmm chickens!

I found a turkey egg in the corner. 

This poor girl only went to sit on the eggs when she saw me coming... it is hot out in the full sun. 

After weed and becoming overwhelm by the heat I came in to finish the last hat. 

I could see the horse out in the field with her pet hen. 

I went over to say hello and found another piece of ground hit so hard by the daily hail.  It was pounded!

Prudence and hen came to say hello.  With the hen standing next to her you can see how small our little Southdown Babydoll is. 

Molly, our Suffolk is the same age as Prudence and much larger.  She loves a good rub and scratch. 

I came in and finished the hat . 

Three newborns hats are ready for donation. 

While Dude finished off the angel food cake.

Smile.
