We have 4 inches of snow! It's so beautiful - laying on all the trees. I have a couple of pictures for you. Mr. Fred, the basset, does not know what is going on. His short legs are buried in the snow. School's out - neighborhood kids are sledding. I just love the quiet beauty of everything being blanketed in snow. I walked out on the deck with my coffee as the sun was coming up this morning and just stood and enjoyed. What a beautiful site! I'm going to put a pot of pintoes on the old wood cookstove and cornbread in the cast iron frying pan. These days are rare anymore. Enjoy!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4277426284221332947-3564657897814807013?l=earthstonecreation.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sandra Hooverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00938465429168217077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4277426284221332947.post-33559212805306693152009-02-28T12:25:00.000-05:002009-02-28T13:57:48.605-05:00My name is Sandra. This is my first blog so please bear with me! I'm new to this form of media. Just a little about me - I love to make almost any kind of craft. I show and sell my crafts at shows - most notably, the twelve day "Southern Christmas Show" in Charlotte each November. I make clay jewelry of all types, handmade soap, handbags, etc. My newest passion is felting - I'd love to hear from you if you like felting! I've designed and am working on some felted handbags. I'll post pictures as soon as I can. I love to "rescue" old wool sweaters and make them into handbags and then felt things on them. I also love making goat's milk soap! Again, let me know if you make soap. Quilting is another passion of mine. I recently made another trip to Gastonia to Mary Jo's...if you've never been, you have to go! They have every fabric, every color, and every thing you could possibly need. Finally, I really enjoy working in clay. Most of my jewelry pieces are made from clay and fired in a kiln. (not polymer)<br /><br />Today is a very rainy day in North Carolina. They say it will change to snow tomorrow! We'll see. I had planned to make soap today, but rainy, humid weather is not good for soap making. I guess I'll go work in clay instead. Or maybe I should do like Fred and find a comfy couch to stretch out on! I promise some more pictures soon!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4277426284221332947-3355921280530669315?l=earthstonecreation.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sandra Hooverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00938465429168217077noreply@blogger.com0
