Flocked

DSC02368 copy

Our entire town looks like a flocked Christmas tree.

I took these photos at around 1 this afternoon, I didn’t think it was quite THIS gray out there, but…

Yeah.  It’s been pretty gray around here.  I think we’ve had dense fog for…4 days now?  It was a lot better today, but still bad enough this morning that they delayed school by 2 hours.  It’s actually kinda creepy.  Like a fog from a horror story.  Like one of those mists that descends on a town and suddenly everyone in town turns into a zombie.

And I think we’re all going to turn into zombies because of a decided lack of sunlight.  Ugh.  I’ve been trying to avoide weather reports, because (a) I know that lots of people either have the same kind of crappy weather, or have it even worse and (b) it’s actually not been that bad around here lately.  But…I just had to share these crazy pictures.  Mark took the camera out yetserday and got some close-ups, I’ll have to try to steal borrow some of his pictures later.

The poor trees — they look so pretty, but some of the spindly ones around our property are looking pretty pathetic.  And it’s only going to get worse:  the forecast is for freezing rain the next few days.  So far the snow and frost collecting on the tree branches has been pretty floofy, but with freezing rain?  I’m afraid we’re going to start to see some tree damage here shortly.  Hopefully no power line damage, too, though.

I puttered around my sewing room, so that I could maybe have something quilt-y or sewing related to share today, but…I kinda just stared at everything.  Dudes.  Did I mention that schlepping around fabric is really hard work?  Not that I’m complaining (much…), because it’s awesome to get so much fabric cleared out, but wow.  I’m really out of shape.  LOL

Last night I was in bed, lights out, and fast asleep by about 9:45.  Tonight, I think I’m going to beat that…

TTFN-

    the red on the house looks so good with the snow!

    And I know what you mean about bad weather, it was like 68 here today, phew!

    Wow! Aren’t you glad you painted your house red?! It looks amazing with the snow. I second Adam.

    Wow, this looks really amazing! But like in everything, there is always a good and a bad side! Still love the picture!

    And I looked at the title of your post, and expected to see a FLOCK of pink flamingoes stuck up in your yard! HAHA! (That is a practical joke that sometimes get played on unsuspecting folks here and it is called “Getting Flocked”.) You can tell I live in the South… it never dawned on me that you were talking about snow. It is a BEAUTIFUL winter wonderland… but I’m glad I’m not in it. The freezing weather we had at New Year’s was enough for me!

    I can imagine there are some definite negatives to living in that weather, but it sure is gorgeous. Of course it helps that the photographer is pretty good.

This is my reminder that a good artist never blames her tools, but it sure is nice having really great tools. (I got Pfeil palm set C, plus one extra) #carvedecember #thepainteddiaries#suzanne_365

Instagram post 2196566338359576256_15732201 My people wanted new socks for our upcoming ski trip, so I found some @darntoughvermont ski socks big enough for their giant feet! The XxL have padding on the shin, marks XL socks have padding in the top of the foot, too. (He wears a 14, my other people wear a size 16 shoe 🙃). I decided I needed a sock stamp. These socks are guaranteed for life! (Swipe to see the socks... bet you can’t guess which ones are mine, lol) #carvedecember #suzanne_365 #thepainteddiaries
Instagram post 2196129456853187803_15732201 Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself. —Lois McMaster Bujold, my absolute favorite author, has been named a SFEA Grand Master. This is from her book A Civil Campaign.  I think about this concept a lot. For my #carvedecember carving, I meant the rays to be shallower, but I slipped. I’m also terrible at lining them up. #thepainteddiaries#suzanne_365
Instagram post 2195863854498559253_15732201 The prompt was tea time, but I don’t do tea or coffee, so hot cocoa it was! I found this mug shortly after signing up for @everythingartuk’s Wanderlust 2020. While drinking and reading, I felt like I was being watched. I think he thought I had ice cream in my mug and was waiting for his turn. #kasiasadventcalendar #suzannesadventjournal #suzannegetsmessy#getmessyartjournal #dailyhobbes
Instagram post 2195281820554277242_15732201 White on white. I did some journaling with a clear Glaze pen on the predecorated page. The words are modeling paste through a stencil. My intention was to do some more layering after it was dry, but I kinda like it like this, so I’m going to leave it for now! #kasiasadventcalendar #suzannesadventjournal #thelayeredpage #suzannegetsmessy #getmessyartjournal
