Hello, howdy, hi! I'm a bit late for IHSW posting, forgive me!
First, let me say I am completely shocked how many of you do not know what snow ice cream is! I thought this was a delight known everywhere?! All you want is fresh snow, milk (I use evaporated but according to the great Internet, you can use regular or even condensed), sugar, and vanilla. The best ice cream comes from the best snow -- you know, the perfect snowball-making snow. Ours was kinda dry this time but snow was snow at that point. I do encourage you to give it a try, even if it's just for the novelty. It's really fun to dig out a container of it in the middle of summer. :)
Now for IHSW! My goal this time was simple: Finish another Muppet letter. This was because I knew we were due for icky weather Friday night which would probably leave us with work to do. We got hit by a somewhat substantial ice storm (I love snow but I do NOT like ice). And this was on top of the still-present mountain of snow we got last week. So, we were locked at home and needing to dig a path to the highway. We went out and tried getting our truck out -- we'd get so far, have to stop and shovel, go a little bit more, shovel some more. A quarter-mile driveway is not so fun on ice-covered snow. We got it to where we were able to get out and back in by staying in our shoveled ruts and called it a day. Shoveled the ice off the sidewalks and tried not to collapse upon entering the house. I started a late lunch when my husband asked if there was a tractor rumbling by? I said no, it's probably just the snow plows out on the highway and we paid no mind. Here one of our wonderful neighbors took pity on us and plowed our driveway! I called around asking if different neighbors did it so I could shower them with baked goods of gratitude, all no! We apparently have a ghost tractor working for us.
Anyway, with our new-found freedom I finished a letter. There's been a few changes on this guy since my last post. I picked out the bottom left portion and made it more D-like (hopefully?!) and made him one row higher to match the heights of the other letters. Dunno how I missed that either. I'm not overly thrilled with his hat because Dr. Teeth has a big hat not a little boater ahaha. But there are size limitations to contend with so I did the best I could with the space available~ After I have more done, I may go back and tweak it some. I did fish out my gold metallic floss for his tooth, a whopping six stitches. I survived.
But I wasn't done there! I finished another letter (no picture). I started the next letter (no picture again).
I started (finally) FotM - February Violets. Not looking too hopeful for a finish this month. :< I'm still good because I have March's finished.
Whew! I hopefully didn't exhaust my productivity for the next few weeks!
