Having a bit of fun in my door journal today. 
Bits and pieces….accumulation. Found text. Paint, pens and stamps. Ah, the fun and freedom in creating.
Happy Tuesday! 
I snapped a photo at dark:30 of my morning coffee spot.
The coffee is gone and I’ve moved on to tea. This polar vortex is the pits. It feels like January outside…heck, in the house too. Cold seeping in everywhere. It’s going to be a L…O…N…G winter if this keeps up.
The cold temps have me thinking about knitting. Not just thinking…doing.
After some experimentation with my own pattern and a you tube video on stretchy binding off…I completed these boot cuffs. I know they fit a tweener size girl but I am waiting on a friend who has average size calves to see if they fits her. Too tight on me to be comfortable but I have those wonderful large Norwegian calves made for trudging through the snow along the fjords.
So I mentioned that I did some experimentation. I found out two ways not to make boot cuffs. But I made use of them anyway. Two new American Girl hats ready to hit my etsy store just in time for Christmas shopping.
Today is a stay-home day…lots on the list…likely a bit of knitting too.
What are you doing today?
It suddenly occurred to me the other day that I never showed my October calendar completed nor had I even made my November. Geesh…talk about falling behind.
I love the colors of Fall…warm and cozy.
My November page I’m not so fond of…the color dried my lighter and more pinkish than expected. But I’m just going to roll with it. I totally forgot to photograph November before writing on it….oh well. It’s a sneak preview.
Happy Tuesday! It’s Veteran’s Day here in the USA. Time to remember and pay tribute to those who have served and are still serving in our armed forces.
Here’s my favorite veteran…my dad…in 1946.
Below is the original scan of the slide image.
I’m thrilled I was able to coax the colors back to a more natural look. What a difference.
As for the rest of my day…I’ll be home catching up on housework and shoveling out the end of the driveway. I’d forgotten that it needs to be widened at the end…if it doesn’t we windup with a very narrow driveway once the snow is several feet deep at the street.

EDIT: I almost forgot…my second sale went well. I sold out of one item and nearly of another. It was a good day.
For the first time in a very long time…since August I think…I created an art journal page. 
I noticed after completion that my color scheme is leaning toward Christmas. It must be that we are getting our first snowfall this season. They say it’s going to be a big one too!
Little J was supposed to leave on her first overnight field trip this morning but they postponed due to weather. It will be interesting to see how they deal with the disruption.
I’ve already shoveled the driveway once and I know it’s only the first of many.
This also is the first blog post that wasn’t a T stands for Tuesday post in quite sometime. I’m getting back on track…hopefully.
Happy Tuesday!
After my endless talk about creating a craft sale inventory, I’d be remiss if I didn’t tell you about the event last Saturday. 
It started out really slow…I was genuinely getting worried….but then it picked up. I sold quite a bit and got such wonderful comments. Little J helped me for the first couple hours and then left with my in-laws.
One more sale on Thursday! I’m really excited for this one. Last year was great, so I’m hopeful that with much better weather this year (no blizzard) it will be even more successful.
I’m off to vote, errands and knitting…for the first time in ages for the knitting. Hope I remember how. ;)
