Snow aftermath, and knitted buttons

The plowing not having happened a lot -- I suspect crews are afraid to come to work, neighbors are digging out today. I just get to watch.

No dog in this fight, nor car in this lot.

The lighted plow was out before dawn. I was up early and noticed I'd had the last breakfast bar today, so I baked a batch.

Pre dawn cooking is becoming a thing 

I plan to knit or crochet buttons for the cowl, and crochet a band with openings for them to fit through.

Here's the crocheted buttons in progress. Chain 15, work back, roll up, stitch, done. 

And defluff the cotton seeds.

Meanwhile I'm rereading 

I love Mary Wesley's detached style, and reread her when I can. I used to have a collection of paperbacks but gave them away when the print mysteriously went small.

Happy day everyone, let's do what we said we would to resist, and support our sisters and brothers in Minnesota who are doing the heavy lifting. 

Right now we're all Minnesotans sez Ted and Big Ursy 

and Iceoutfluffina

And release the Epstein files 

Sunday morning with snow and coffee

Since Gary's tree went down in the last storm, my view opened up. Snowy Sunday with coffee and banana bread 

I finished the bergamot boxes, leaving the inside unpainted to keep the lovely citrus scent, and the tops actually fit quite snugly 

And here they are in a mini gallery 

Today's deed is to finally repair a few rips in the pillows I made several years ago, in a summer frenzy of English paper piecing and patchwork, using batiks, silk, and designer fabric scraps. 

I also converted some dyed beaded and stitched wall hangings into pillows. And the knitted pillows I made for use in the car have come to join them.

They've all had wear and tear from visitor handling, so there's a bit here and there needing a stitch. Invisible repair this time,  they're busy enough without more decoration.

The spicy banana bread is very good on the second day, for breakfast with coffee.

Happy day everyone, enjoy something, what ever you can.  

If Minnesotans can do fun costume runs down the slopes, we can certainly find fun somewhere.

And we can resist AI. AI is theft.
