mandie_rwIt's still flurrying a bit, but I think we've gotten most of the snow we're going to. I haven't looked up totals, but according to my very official yardstick poking of my front lawn, looks like about 15".
Had a very nice snow day...mainly puttered around, watched movies, and yakked online with friends. I did make time to sew up most of an 18thc "cardinal" cloak though! Not something I remotely needed, but I'm stalled out on the 18-tens pelisse and bonnet til the mail gets through, and while I could have kept working on shop hats, I really really wanted to sew on something snow-day-appropriate! ;)
It's from a length of very nice red wool cloth that was given to me - only enough to make a knee-length cloak, which is sad as a long cloak out of this would really be like wearing a blanket! I got the cloak itself put together with a bit of piecing; the hood itself is going to mean a lot more piecing, super fun. I should be able get it done tomorrow (and then wear it around the house, because seriously, it's a blanket).
