And you thought this would be a Craft post, right???

Yea, so did I. And I have been crafting. A little. I'm not sick, thank the heavens. BUT. If you've been watching the news... I've been right in the middle of the worst storm The Pudget Sound has had since 1940. And well, school has been canceled all week. So I've been playing mom. And saving my husband from running out of gas with his boss in the car at 6 am in the middle of an ice storm, but that's a whole post in itself. And currently we have NO phone service. Thankfully I am one of the few that has power. It flickers on and off all day long. But it keeps coming back on so we keep praying. So to my family... hopefully you're seeing this. We are okay. Just living in the dark ages for now. And there isn't a way to contact us besides email. So as I said. We dug out our snow gear, good thing we lived in Utah so we had some in tow!!! (You might ask... Where's your third son? He was a poop and didn't want anything to do with the snow what so ever. He watched from the window.)

Yes, we received all that snow within 24 hours. Which for the North West, is very unusual. Very. But what was even more crazy was what we woke up to this morning. I actually was woken up at 6 am to go rescue my husband and had to actually drive in it. (But as I said, that's a post in itself...) But everything was ICED over. The ground, the power lines, the trees. I mean everything. It looks gorgeous. And I learned that I will NEVER drive a mini van ever because Four Wheel Drive is just way too nice of a commodity for these conditions when they occur. I'm so thankful I'm such a snot and have that huge four wheel drive car or it would have been a disaster this morning. But... that's enough of that... Enjoy the gorgeousness of the ice!

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to compile those tutorials for you!!! I'm making it a priority! I've really missed crafting!!!

Um, Washington, What Are You Doing?

When this started Saturday afternoon I was taken off guard. After all, I'm pretty sure I moved to Washington. And Utah doesn't even really have snow this winter!

So when I woke up Sunday morning and saw this... 

I couldn't believe it. Crazy. And it hasn't stopped. So we pulled out our Utah gear and we grabbed cups and went outside.

Came back in and made snow cones. Complete with all the extra nasty ozone who knows what!

Then after church we made a snowman.  

It's supposed to snow for a few more days. But I'm already over it. So hopefully it really doesn't. I guess we will see! I've been told that if it does once the snow level hits around three inches the city pretty much shuts down. That will be a sight in itself... I don't want the boys home from school two days in a row. Tomorrow is good enough... So I'm hoping the snow stops!

I'm finally feeling better... and I have even been crafting!!!

Who would have thought, right? I guess 17 weeks was the right number for me. I am clear of the nausea. And I couldn't be more thankful. So to tackle the first thing. Shirts for my brother. Man... I must love him because this was alot more work than I had anticipated. But, 1 month later, they are finally done. 16 shirts. Check.

You want a sneak peak, don't you? These are my brothers designs. I just created the shirts for him. You will be able to purchase them through him if you are interested at http://www.dooriginalthings.com/.

And a sneak peak of the ones that took me way to long to make... The face was so big I freezer stenciled it. But I didn't like the way it looked. So I tried a few other ways that didn't impress me as well. Once I figure out the perfect way I'll let you know...

I even ended up with a Yudu Machine. And it didn't work either on that large of a print... But I won't give up. I'll find something... If you have any tricks or tips I'd love to hear them!

But I'm glad to get that batch done so I can move on to all my projects that I have lined up... Trust me... the list is LLLLOOOOOOOONNNNNNNG. And the supplies have taken over my craft room! It's a disaster. I'm so glad I can finally un-disaster it!
