As much as I love Minnesota…I hate days like today. When it’s dangerous to be outside with exposed skin. It has risen to a balmy -3°F since this screen capture.
I got distracted…

… while writing this post.
It looks beautiful outside with the fresh snow… The long shadows from the low sun.
You may remember that I was having a couple of craft boutiques this past week. The first was a bit of a bust. Not much traffic but still a good times spent with Little J and friends.
The second was great…even though we were in a fierce snow storm. They even dismissed school a bit early to get all the kids home before dark. Only in MN would a snow storm bring out the shoppers. :)
Since I had been mad crafting up until the last minute…I have quite the mess. I’m only showing you a little snippet of the mess.
Seriously embarrassing.
But maybe a bit of public shaming will help me get it cleaned up. One can hope. ;)
Not as cold in Oregon but cold for Oregon! It got down to 17 degrees last night and not snowing at my house but south of here it is. I had to laugh at you comment about snow bringing out Minnesota folks. I always say “true Oregonians only go out when it rains”! My art room looks like that after each project…..the paint and paper fly! Stay warm!
Glad to hear that at least one craft show was good for you–they are always a lot of fun anyway. I’m in upstate NY and I did a show one year where we had a blizzard–loads of shoppers in a frenzy to buy came out! Your desk looks enjoyed!
You have some serious winter going on there – I admire your hardiness. We’ve been hovering around 28 and it feel bitterly cold – I think it would feel like spring to you :)
Beautiful winter photo…I had heard you guys were ‘freezin’ up there! Such sweet crafts in your last post…glad one of your shows went well. I imagine it’s really hard to predict what will sell and if people will be buying or just ‘looking!’ good luck if you have more shows! thanks for stopping by, too. Happy Holidays! (and try to stay warm…)
You are even COLDER than me. It’s bitterly cold here, with temps hovering in the teens and single digits at night. The wind chill makes it even worse. I think last night was -4. Hard to keep warm in those temps.
I suspect my table looks worse than yours about now. I have so many things going and have to keep moving things around. It’s shameful, but I can’t put anything away, because it’s all in the sewing stage. And even with a heater, it’s too cold to be in the craft room (where the sewing machine is) for long.
Glad one of your craft shows was good. It makes it all worthwhile, at least.
So, where’s the squirrel?
Wow you have been busy ! I guess where you live with all that (to my Australian eyes ) beautiful snow, indoor activities are the order of the day. Your desk looks a bit like mine….I just can’t seem to work tidy. Well I believe the creative process is more important than a tidy desk. xx
that does sound seriously cold Halle (♥ the snow on your bbb!)
we are getting into winter mode here in N VA too with snowflakes falling as I type…
Glad you had a good show and your other show would have been great too I’m sure had you had the traffic…
BTW I think your creative space looks like FUN
creative chaos never looks messy to me…
but full of possibilities!

Brave shoppers to attend that second craft show. I don’t go out if it drops below 40F, LOL!
