Incredibly Cold

It has been incredibly cold here.
It was -25 this morning at 7 am and didn't break 0 until about 11 o'clock.
I think there have been places colder but, that is pretty doggone cold.
Fortunately, the dog didn't get stuck in the cold
Schools were closed for two days and there was a two delay today.
I don't think there was a school open in the U.P. Monday or Tuesday.
It did get to a high of 15 today.
I think the polar vortex may be done for now.
You know what means....SNOW!
It doesn't sound too bad though 2-5 inches.  

I am awfully glad that the holidays are over and hopefully back to normal.
I think the older I get the more I prefer the status quo.
I must be getting old and boring.  

I am getting ready for the Smalls SAL.
These are the supplies for the first project.  
I don't know that I will get all twelve projects ready as I have seen.
I may get a few in the queue on the ready.  
 GAST Adobe
and
Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe Hand dyed floss:
 1795 Ocean Waves and 1795 Best Olive Green.
You will just have to wait until the post.
I am using the aluminum spice container to finish it.
I had picked the container up at a antique store in Eagle River, WI.

I have been making slow and steady progress on the Christmas at Hollyberry Farm.
It is slow going.

That pretty much sums it up.  
Trying to clear the debris from the holidays and the last year. 
Thanks for the wonderful comments you send my way.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Keep on stitching.
