Yesterday it was -2 below Zero F here at about 8 am without any windchill factor - and those of you from the North know that windchill is a factor. It's reported that windchill yesterday made it more like -30 below Zero F. Today, luckily it warmed up to about 28 degrees F - again without windchill factor - but since it warmed up it was able to snow so yay - mother nature was very happy today. I went out and refilled the bird feeders - they are emptied about every two days - lots of birds. I have six bird feeders and they all go in the same rotation. (Squirrels like them too but Wally doesn't like the squirrels so they don't hang around too much.) I also have two suet feeders that were both empty but they won't go back out until tomorrow. I keep the suet boxes in the garage and they are all frozen so I brought two cakes in to thaw.
I have been working on the face pendant that I showed on the sixth but am out of the main bead that I am using for the fringe so it's on hold until I find more of them. Shouldn't be too difficult - just have to get out and get more - I hope.
I placed an order for some new stamps on the 7th and they arrived in today's mail. I think Jaime ships as fast as Amazon. Her prices are good too and she does free shipping for orders over $40 in the US. Gotta love it. I'm including pictures of the stamps I received. Can't wait to use them - very much in a style I like for character stamps. Not 2 Shabby is a Zibbet shop and the url is: www.zibbet.com/not2shabbyshop
If Only and Pursuit of Happiness by Santoro Mirabelle
These are Gorjuss Girl stamps - The White Rabbit, Toadstools, and Ruby; also by Santoro Mirabelle.
Last but not least, this is Mama's Day by Julie Nutting
I can't wait to use these stamps and see what I can come up with. I am especially excited about the top two stamps because I think they are the most like my style of art that I have seen in a "rubber" stamp. (really photo polymer I think)
Below, is a photo of the bead kit that I set up for myself to work on my current face pendant. I am bringing my things downstairs where it's warmer. This makes creating things difficult because I have a tendency to run up and down the stairs - but hey - I need the exercise. If you're interested - My house is built from a foundation house that was created in 1786. The front part of the house was a stagecoach stop on the Great Northern Turnpike. Lots of history but really hard to heat and there is no heat source upstairs - old style house where the grates in the ceilings downstairs are the grates in the floor upstairs and the "heat" supposedly rises and "heats" the room upstairs. I really can't imagine how hot it would have to get downstairs to heat the upstairs - I don't think I will ever even see the amount of money that would take - Oil heat - good thing I like it a bit chilly. (shh, I do have electric heat in the back "master" area where I have a bathroom and my bedroom - thank goodness.)
I am hoping to have more interesting things to write about soon. I posted my first YouTube video last Wednesday and hope to do more of those also. All I need to do is come up with some interesting things to show and to talk about. Wish me luck!
