Day 27 - only one more day after this one!

Boy, today was a busy one for me. We got a lot of snow overnight, here's a photo that I took early this morning looking out the back door. That's the hot tub under that layer of snow! And below that is a photo of our son Tim's truck in the driveway after we had gotten the driveway cleared of snow, a couple of hours later.


Snow being the first thing we had to deal with today, I am sharing an "already-made" polymer clay creation, a needle case that I made using a texture sheet made by our own Ponsawan Sila. I absolutely LOVE that texture sheet and use bits and pieces of it all the time. Thanks, Ponsawan! Ponsawan is a fantastic artist and always wonderful about sharing her knowledge. You can find her tutorial blog here: Polymer Clay Beads Tutorials by Ponsawan; and her fabulous creative personal blog here: Polymer Clay by Silastones.


We have more snow since yesterday's storm... but not so much that it should keep me from Thing-A-Day's final day tomorrow.

    Hi Jackie thanks for the comment on my blog, will have to get in there soon.
    Love the needle case and know of Ponsawans work, a very original lady.
    Yes the Tsumami warnings are over and altho they say the seas rose in places we are ok , Poor Chile tho, disasterous. Nature does its own thing, we have no control, only have to pick up the pieces after.
    How you live in all that snow I just dont know. Oh that poor car, will it ever recover?
    We are having torrential rain so have to watch out for flooding now.
    All our rain comes in our Summer, and Winters are mild.See you soon
    Love

    The purple color is irresistable, LOL! And a pox on all that snow! Everyone is getting sick of it on the eastern side of the country too. I actually had to USE our snow shovel this year, LOL!

    Very special and pretty needle case that you made with Ponsawan's texture sheet! For some reason I think that lovely colour is so YOU. Your snow pictures are very graphic in helping my understanding of your winters. You sure do get a lot. It's pretty to look at.....as long as I don't have to shovel.

    Thank you as always, ladies! The snow is not over with, unfortunately, as more is forecasted for the next 10 days, ugh. But I am off to make a new cane and will only enjoy the pretty white view out of my Claypen window today, instead of shoveling more of it.

    I feel for you. We managed to miss this last storm, but we have more in the forecast this week. I love the needle case. So much better than the worn-out old pincushion mine are in!
