Is anyone else tired of this crazy winter weather?

Looking out the window right now, the snow is coming down fast and furious.  We've had warnings to stay inside and off the roads because of icy conditions today.  This is North Carolina.  Crazy, crazy weather.  Yes, I know it's crazy everywhere, all over the US.  

So, what do we do while being confined to the house?  

How about sitting by a nice warm fire, reading to your hearts delight.  That's what I've been doing.  Catching up on some old Belva Plain books.  

And drawing in my sketch book.  
These birds will eventually end up on note cards in my etsy shop.  Next comes the paint.    

I hope you're enjoying whatever it is you're doing today!  

And I am wishing and wishing for warmer weather to hurry up and come soon!

Winter Wonderland in Wilson

The snow flakes started falling last night and by the time we went to bed we had a soft white blanket of snow everywhere.  Mother Nature's beauty at it's best.  

This morning the snow is still falling.  We have about 2 inches here in Wilson, NC.  

Otis prefers to stay inside on the sofa in his pile of blankets.  I opened the back door for him this morning and he turned around and came back in.  

Enjoying the snow while it lasts!

Holiday decorating

We put our Christmas tree up on the weekend, but it's not finished yet. I'll post photos later.

I hung some pretty red sparkly snowflakes from our dining room chandelier

I've also been adding snowflakes to my holiday paintings which I've made into note cards.

A few more holiday cards ~

You can find these cards in my etsy shop. Check out all my holiday items!


By the way, the note cards make wonderful stocking stuffers.
