Winter


Winter here is long, almost half the year, white and cold, at the same time, fun and beautiful. I can't tell how I feel about it. Sometimes I love it, but sometimes I hate it.

You wonder why people hate winter?
Yes! they were cars parking on road.


And you wonder why people love winter?

You wonder why people hate snow?
It was our driveway after a snow storm.

Our Kitchen door

And you wonder why people love snow? The last rose in my back yard, it was beautiful, isn't it?

I love your views on the snow and winter. I feel exactly the way you do. I love the snow and would love to move back up north. I lived in Michigan when I was a child. I went back awhile ago and fell in love with the first snowfall, snow angels and all that stuff all over again. I'm a kid at heart.
I guess, I need to find things about Florida the way you did about the winter.
You gave me inspiration....Thank you!
I love to crochet, knit, sew, embroider, do counted-cross stitch, plastic canvas. It is great to see someone with some similar interests.
Nice to meet you!

Nice to know people out there have the same feeling. I grew up in warm southern, I used to say it's freezing when the temperature drop around 40F, and now we say spring's coming given the same temperature.:) The first time I saw snow, I was so exited couldn't sleep, I mean real, good snow, covering everything white,not just some scattered snow flakes.
BTW, I always want to learn crochet. :)

Crocheting is my therapy, it keeps me sane. In Florida the people complain its too cold when its in the lower 70's. The silly thing is they keep their air conditioner in the lower 70's all summer! LMAO!

Low Cost Patchwork Board

When I mark on fabric, sometimes fabric moves and stretches, which annoys me. Last week, I found a product named Patchwork Board(produced by Clover, a Japanese Company), a kind of marking board has a built-in sandpaper surface to hold fabric in place so you can mark accurate lines, and the opposite side is an ironing board surface. The price listed on the official website is US$29.95. Today, I tried to find this patchwork board in 3 local stores, they don't have it. So I decided to make one myself. I went to Canadian Tire and bought a piece of Ultra fine sandpaper (the finest sandpaper in store) at $0.27 + tax. :) I glued it on hard paper board, and glued a layer of batting on the wrong side, then cover the batting side with a piece of fabric( larger than the hard paper board), folded the fabric to the sandpaper side and glued the edge to cover the edge of the sandpaper. Voila!! In about half an hour, I made a marking-ironing board for less than $1.00. If I know it, I wouldn...
