Winter Blahs

It has been a typical January, trudging through the gloomy days, dealing with ice and snow, falling on ice and snow-- oh, does it hurt to sit down!  I have been trying to keep my mind busy with creating, which has kind of worked, but I really need a dose of sunshine.

I did go on a quest to find German kitchen toys and ended up ordering some from actual Germany (still awaiting that shipment).  I found a few things from my Iowa dealers at the frozen in the ice show in Anamosa last week, so glad it was worth venturing out into the arctic.

I have also been wrapping things in blue paint and feedsacks and calico--fabric scraps are everywhere!
