[the honey trees]

Yesterday was a good day.  I got a lesson of Algebra done, practiced a bit of violin, went to Walmart & got 2 & 3/4 yards of fabric, for only $3, and passed my learners permit test--on the first try.  I'm happy now.  The snow is still here---it's rather ugly, & looks as if it's here to stay for another week.  
I made this dress last night in record time.  (3 and 1/2 hours-- While listening to The honey trees, & simon and garfunkel--good times indeed.)

I went shopping with my mom and sisters today. Tomorrow we're having a party for new years. (NOTE TO SELF)--I need to write down my new years resolutions.

This'll be the last of the [beautiful] snow "snaps" for now. The snow's been here a week, & most likely will be here another. It's all a muddy, slushy, brown, gritty mess right now. I'll be 
happier when it's gone.

It snowed almost 2 feet here.  It's quite nice, but I wish it would melt soon.

Good ol' 70's

Retro clothes

My friend Cora & I are going combine our birthdays, to have a 70's disco party. My birthday is not 
until March, and hers is in June, so we'll hopefully have it in May--I've been having fun thinking about it. I'm planning to get a jumpsuit or something totally awesome like that at the GoodWill, but we'll see. I may just have to get some checkered pants.

This picture reminds me of something my Dad would draw, and I found it amusing.

Of Christmas ornaments & Snow

It's been snowing since early this morning.  I love it.  And, we got our Christmas tree on Thursday, & decorated it beautifully.

I have a head cold, so I did not do anything today, but lay around, and read Little Women.  I finished it, and always want it to go on, when I finish it.  


This photo makes me happy:  Should I make the photos this big from now on?
