Let it snow

Hard to believe it's already December 21st and the beginning of winter. Friday we had a big snowstorm. I didn't get home until late afternoon and went immediately to shovel. It was already dark and a little hard to see where the driveway ended and road began but I got most of it done. Yesterday we just stayed in which was nice. I spent all day sewing coasters and bookmarks from scraps from my first quilt. I am trying to use up anything which I can't deem "shipping-worthy".

I'm off to sew a few more bookmarks, then shovel and head out to the family Chanuka party at Alissa's. There's not much of my immediate family coming -- three of my siblings and my mother are off on vacation. But it's always nice to get together with family so I'll brave the snow and cold and bus it to the party. I made the newest family member, Ora, a Chanuka bib from flannel with colourful dreidls. Hopefully I'll get a photo of the baby wearing it.
