Winter is here!

So last night we were suppose to get snow 2-3 inches OVER NIGHT, NOT before I left work so I took the two wheel drive POS truck and almost had to sleep on the side of the road! No worries I got home and it only took me twice as long as usual, and I only got stuck once! (and I really can blame the plows for that since I was puttering along to slow and we have to pull over for them to pass, so into the deep snow I went and it took forever for the truck to slide its way out again!)

This morning I awoke to a beautiful fully snow covered parking lot and so I tholught I had to show pics since this was not a "winter storm warning" storm but the one last week was????? I think our weather guys are smoking something! Anyway, the schools are closed and I'm off work tonight and tomorrow which translates to A WHOLE LOT OF STITCHIN TIME!!!!!! YEAH!!!!! Maybe I can get Savannah done??????

Here are winter pics- they look more dreary than it really is but the camera and I are not getting along, and so they look all dark but really it is nice and bright out but still snowing!

Savannah, and my halloween costume!

Ok so I was hoping to have savannah done by today however it didn't happen! And I missed it by a long shot! LOL here is her so far.....

And my Halloween costume for work, since we were encouraged to dress up and I do like a challenge I am going to be the Wicked Witch of the West's Cook!  Inspired by a panel we got in at me walmart for an apron with the Witch on it I decided to go ahead and make the chef hat purple and then everything else pretty much fell into place. The skirt fabric is for my sons quilt and so I couldn't alter it so I folded it over a belt and over lapped the edges and so theres the skirt! Black shirt, purple chef hat, yarn crochet hair(thanks to Mom's genius idea!)

PS - Fake eyelashes are a pain in the butt! and heels + Walmart = stupid idea! The shoes didn't make it an hour but none of my co workers seemed to mind, and we really didn't have many customers so I ended up in socks most of the night!

Winter storm warning my foot!

This is the results of our winter storm warning over night! We were told we were getting 8 inches! I don't think it is quite adding up to that yet but they are still saying 4-6 today...I'll believe it when I see it! LOL

Either way my boys are staying home from school. A few times in the past the day has started off innocently and ended with me having to pick the boys up in the middle of a blizzard half way through the day. I have learned to err on the side of caution with Colorado weather!

Only Six days left!

So far the progress on this has been hampered by everything from needing to clean the house, work, and now a winter storm! FIVE hours over the last two day were wasted waiting for tires on two different vehicles to be done. Needless to say I think on this one I am going to miss my time frame for completion.

Weekend Progress for Savannah's Curtsy

With only 8 days to go I really need to get busy on this! I really should be about halfway however since I work alot of hours on the weekends I didn't get the normal amount finished. I did manage to get the floor done! So now it's all about the dress!
