The blizzard predicted for Chicago arrived right on time ~ 3:00 p.m.
I left the office at 4:00 to face gale force winds as I walked past the Trump Tower on my way to the train station. My 45 minute commute took 2 hours and 45 minutes. Every cloud has its silver lining, mine was plenty of stitching time on a warm train as the fearless workers tried to unfreeze the train track switches. Isn't it perfect that I am working on this beautiful piece from Heartstring Samplery? You can purchase her patterns here. I accomplished a lot on the big band of icicles.
I think that I am ready to put away this scissor fob for another year...Enough snow already!
It's the first of the month and the TDIPT artists have updated their offerings.
There are many lovely items with a heart theme :)
This month I'm offering heart shaped pin books
And cross stitched needle cases (another Heartstring Samplery design...)I'll keep you posted on how much snow we receive from this blizzard. The windows are rattling and the lights are flickering, so I know that the wind is still really blowing. They say that the heaviest snow will come in the middle of the night.
Stay warm and work on something that warms your heart.
That's what I will be doing ;)
Blessings, Patti
