Monday Mini-Project.

This little owl comes to you from an unknown source. Not original to me (or the website where instructions were found), but their website offered it freely.

Shown here using two different finishing methods.

A third is on the worktable for tomorrow that will be finished in a different way.

Which do you like better?

I kinda like the pink bellied one, but I don't have any more of those type of eyes (and no funds to purchase more... hence, using the supplies on hand).

Big storm headed our way. Twelve to fourteen inches of snow anticipated. Downstate is predicted to bear the brunt, getting upwards of two feet in places.

March sure has been a lion with the weather. Winter's final hurrah is shaping up to be a doozie.

Wherever you are tonight, here's hoping you are warm, well-fed, and had at least one moment today that made you smile or laugh.

Sweet dreams, friends.

There's A Storm Rolling In...

...from the Northeast where the Great Lakes lie in their winter slumber. As of February 14th, eighty-eight percent of the Great Lakes are covered in ice. At least, that's what CBS Chicago reports.

All I know is that it is unseasonably cold. Cold enough to keep me from getting my daily exercise by walking the trail. And with no exercise... So I've decided to haul the elliptical out of the back room and into the living room. Time to get rid of this paunch. Besides - if I don't do it now I won't be able to go for those long hikes once Spring arrives.
