Snow day

It snowed again.. when I was young snow days meant no school. Now they mean rearranging the to-do list. Work gets rescheduled. But I get more time to drink coffee and write. I might even work on plans for Valentines day.

I have to go to town to run errands,  I forgot to get a couple of key ingredients for dinner.My mom is making teddy bears and has to go buy eyes and noses. I guess we are taking the 4x4 vehicle, even though there is not that much snow, the main roads are clear its just the street and driveway that are a problem.

My "job" in the teddy bear process is to stuff them and make them squeezable. It has taken some practice to get it just right. The teddy bears often get clothing. A vest or tie but my favorite part is when I get to put a tutu on a teddy. I make the  tutus out of tulle and other materials.I discovered on teddy bears poofy tutus work better. They help the bear stay upright and little girls normally like to dance with them. Tulle is a "fun" material to work with, it wrinkles, sticks to everything and ends up all over the house. But, it does look great when its done. My family and I decided it was time to put the tulle away until it gets warmer though.

Signing off for now.
