Snow in Seattle?

That’s right, last night it snowed.  I got up and did some running around before the snow came.  I got back with minutes to spare.  Which sounds crazy, since there was only an inch or so of snow in my neighborhood.  But it’s Seattle.  We’re used to rain, not snow.  I don’t think a whole lot of people here have snow tires.

I spent the rest of the day watching the snow, bad tv, and making ornaments.  I also put up my tree.  I wasn’t going to get a tree but then I thought of all the times I’ve had a tree.  I always had a tree when I had a boyfriend.  So I decided this year, I’m going to make new Christmas tree memories.  So I went out friday night and got a tree.  I went to the Dunshee House up on Capitol Hill.  I wasn’t really going to buy a tree, but all the money went to the Dunshee House and that makes me feel like I’m doing some good in the world.

I decided to try my hand at making origami cranes to decorate the tree.  So far I’ve only ruined several sheets of paper instead of the ream that I planned on.  Kink decided she wanted to venture out in the snow, and I snapped a couple of  photos of her.  She didn’t really know what to do with it.  Jimbo wanted nothing to do with the snow.  He stayed inside and slept.

I also reverted back to my preschool days and made some salt dough to make more ornaments with. So we’ll see how that goes.  Other than that, I’ve been making some Christmas presents, and drooling over my next project – The Cables and Chain Wrap Jacket by Just call me Ruby.  I love this pattern.  I just need to find suitable yarn for it.  I’m not sure if I have the right yarn for it and I don’t want to spend (and can’t spend) a ton of money on yarn for it.
