Saturday and comfort foods....

The weather curtailed the opening...we were on a level 2 snow emergency where the community was asked to stay off the roads and be safe. Do not go out unless it is an emergency.  It was with a heavy heart that I posted on facebook that we would have a meet the artist afternoon on 2/17/13 from 2 until 4. Still I received email notifications and phone calls that people had ventured out only to find The Works closed due to inclement weather.  I do believe in safety first and was relieved when I knew the Columbus people were home safe and sound.

My new little friend..Alden was created by my friend over at Yoborobo's fiber studio...I won him in a blog give away contest....

Doesn't he have the cutest expression???  And he loves the warm felted hat and hand knit gloves Cyd made for me....

I could swear that I heard Alden talking about the dogs running in and out all afternoon....

I just love my new hat....I am ready for the cold winter winds...

more candlelight...shine ....we all shine in the beauty of candlelight....









I love the roving of yarns that Cyd sent to me for my desert flower whispers.....

Today Ken made a new recipe for comfort food...macaroni and cheese with ham and bread crumb topping.  I made a very large ham and bean pot of soup that we had some delicious cornbread and butter.  I napped today...did laundry.... and rested.  My body was worn out from the anticipation of the events yesterday.  Ken brought in the mail and newspapers ...and I received a special little gift...from Yoborobo ...my little Alden.  This wonderful stuffed spirit was enough to cheer my spirits...I lit some more candles and enjoyed the quiet of my day.  I hope you are all safe as we live in this Artic blast of weather. I have a baby shower tomorrow but other than that the day is mine.  I wish you peace and warmth.  Imagine and Live in Peace,  Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
