Bead Journal Project,snow

Robin http://beadlust.blogspot.com/ requested a detail of my December Bead Journal Project, so here it is. I'm so glad she started this project. I've enjoyed it so.
I only thought we had a lot of snow on Monday. You can see from my car that I'm staying home.

It is so beautiful out there that walking the dog is a pleasure and an excuse to be out in the snow. At 5am for our first walk, I don't need a flashlight, and everything has a blue cast. Last night's footsteps were gone this morning.

Gift, Bead Journal Project, snow

See what Ati from Unlimited Textiles sent me. It's done with felting and hand stitching and is wonderful. Very appropriate for our weather this year too. Normally, the Pacific NW USA has very little snow, but this past week the weather has been much more like Montana where I went to high school and college.
This is the view out my patio door! The stairs to the deck are slick, so I'm walking the dog on leash which is just a good excuse to play in the snow. Deer tracks and rabbits tracks are everywhere. Our chickens won't come out of the coop and need to have new water every several hours when the other bowl freezes.

Here is December's Bead Journal Project quilt done with sequins attached by the back stitched beads.
