Still snowing, decorating, cooking and more

Still snowing...

David heard that the accumulation was to be up to 7" for yesterday and then again for today. We didn't get the possible 7" but we got enough for a good day of playing in the snow for the kids!
The little bit of decorating that I got done yesterday took a good couple of hours worth of work to get it all just right. I'd totally forgotten that last year I'd had the kiddo's help me compress and pack away each and every garland. That equated to a lot of reshaping that had to be done. Now I have to find the clear lights.....
Fiesta Chowder with my own tweaking. Since you can't get the Nacho Cheese soup any longer we had to substitute it for Queso out of the jar. As for flavor, it made for a cheesier chowder and not so much of a kick. Everyone liked/loved it, but I prefer it to be a bit thinner with more of a zing!
Finally got some knitting in. Took little breaks over the last couple of days to work on my mittens that I really could use right now. I just love this pattern and I'm looking forward to doing more intricate patterns in the future.
Fini! I have a pair of very warm and soft mittens. Today I'll wash and block them. Last night was a glorious night. I finally finished this set of mittens. They're just gorgeous!


Next project already started and I'm lovin it!

The mittens came out nice, I like! I did update my blog, take a look! I thought I didn't have anything else to talk about but then after updating I remembered I do have other things to talk about, so more on the way.

That'll teach ya to challenge me to get all the garlands into one big garbage bag. I almost succeeded too. ;-)
