Winter Pastime

I received this jigsaw on Christmas Day and I thing I started it on Boxing Day.  I finished it before the New Year.  It's 1000 pieces, and upon studying the image, I thought it would be fairly simple. I was wrong. Progress was slow at first because it seemed everything was green. I'm glad I persevered though as it is a beautiful scene.  Now if I could only figure out how to move in.

    I love it! Puzzles are amazing aren't they? I do puzzles on jigsawplanet on-line but they only go up to 300 pieces max. This is a beautiful picture.

    I'm horrible at puzzles but actually enjoy them once I get started. That looks like a Thomas Kinkade and his paintings always make me want to stop and visit! We're getting tons of snow this weekend so I'm home hoping not to get called into work and doing a lot of post holiday cleaning. Have a good weekend!

    I have no patience for puzzles. That one is very pretty and does look like a peaceful place to live.

    Oh Andrea, what a beautiful puzzle! My husband and son love to do puzzles together and I must say that I admire those of you who like puzzles...I tend to walk away from them within 5 minutes {{smiles}}

    Hugs to you, my friend!

A Blog Event That Caught My Eye

This looked like a ton of fun, so why not? I started a blog as a way of introducing myself to those who wanted to get to know me better than what my little Etsy shop offered. I had absolutely no idea where it would go, how long it would last, or if I would get any response. As it turns out, none of that matters. I just love to do it. And I love reading the blogs of others as well. It's far better than TV. Click on the picture for all the details, and to register your blog. Here is what I'm offering up as my giveaway. A stone necklace with various findings. All findings are silver plated and it has no clasp because it measures a long 33 inches. I can not wait to see what everyone else is doing.

Snow Day!

Image
It has been a wonderful, drawn out fall.  I've enjoyed easy walks around my yard well into December, and more time outdoors than I usually get during these first two winter months. This balance between indoors and outdoors is essential to keeping me feeling good.  I hate being cooped up in the house for too long without a breath of fresh air.  It makes me tired, and I'm a grouch when I'm tired. Yesterday, Old Man Winter decided to correct his oversight in our corner of the world, and deposited between 6 and 8 inches of snow.  It looked light and fluffy, but it was actually very dense and it took a lot of work on my husband's part to tidy up the driveway. The prairie I walk in out back was so completely whited out, it seemed as though I was getting nowhere, even though I could clearly feel the muscles in my legs straining to get me through the snow.  It is actually quite dizzying to be looking at nothing but pure white and trying to move forward.  I had ...
