A Snowy Interlude, and Oranges

A box of fresh oranges from a sweet friend in Florida made a very bright spot in the Wall Tent Studio a few weeks ago!

Orders have been humming out of the tent flaps on their way to amazing people who are helping me make my dreams come true.

Millie, in her nest, watches me work with an indulgent eye.  That cat is in clover.

We have over sixteen inches of snow as of this afternoon.  Working on the driveway, which will be too deep for our little tractor before much more of this!

The snow weighs down the logging tarp covering my tent, occasionally knocking down the exterior support poles that make the walls tight.  The canvas sags in the most loppity fashion till I go out and stick the pole in place again.  One of those things that you keep meaning to tighten up and never get around to...

Dark and rather chilly mornings aren't much fun till the fire gets going.

Evenings, however, with warmth and candlelight and lists crossed off, are very cozy indeed. 

Seeing friends is such a blessing, few and far between as visits are!

My constant companions.

A tripod has joined the family, though I probably won't name it;)  How I love this thing!

I love you all for loving the Doctor Who buttons/mirrors so much!  Allons-y to the bubble mailers, say I!

Early January should reveal a button-y sort of giveaway that you won't want to miss.

I made this no-knead roll recipe from Erica Lea, which she shared over on the Pioneer Woman cooking blog last week.  Double batch, 50 rolls, gone in an hour.

Statistics both complementary and depressing.

The biggest decision of my life so far faced me this week, and is leading to some tremendous changes in my world.  Praying, pondering, checking off those lists and making longer ones.

That's been my week so far.

And Christmas day - just a few more hours, it seems, and you'll be behind me.  

Don't be in too much of a hurry, alright?
