Winter Collage Blocks

The first snowflakes of the season drifted down earlier this week. Looks like we're in for a long winter. On the to-do list this weekend....shop for snow boots. Gotta keep our tootsies warm! This wintery mix of collage blocks will be posted in the shop today.

Winter Art Blocks

 

We had our first freeze a few nights ago here in Springfield, Missouri. Some of the neighborhood trees are already bare and the sound of leaf blowers has become the norm. Looks like winter is right around the corner! A dozen art blocks are ready be stocked in the shop today along with some ornaments.

Oh Snow Fun

Let's just say that many happy hours have been spent playing in the snow these past few days. The forecast calls for more snow tomorrow. Oh snow fun ;)

And...these, these and these are currently on sale over at Sushipot Vintage.

A Marshmallow World

Patrick got this song stuck in his head last week and has been going around singing it so often now its looping 'round in my head too! Thought I'd share it with you so you can join in my fun. Oh...and having a song stuck up there without knowing all the lyrics drives me batty so in case you're like me here ya go:

A Marshmallow World
by Dean Martin

It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year round.

Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the evergreen trees
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head
It's shining so your nose won't freeze.

The world is your snowball, see how it grows
That's how it goes whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for a song
Get out and roll it along

It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts
Take a walk with your favorite girl
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world.

Happy December y'all!

Snowy Footprints

Wishing you & yours a beautiful weekend whether or not you have snowy footprints!

Snow On Things

We woke up this morning to snow on everything! It's our first snow of the season and of the year ('bout time!). Two years ago you couldn't have made me venture outside to take pictures on a snowy morning but now that I have a blog I shocked Patrick by my announcement. Do you remember Lizzie's orange birdhouse? It's such a pop of color out our window. Happy Monday all!

Melting Snow

Lizzie and I ventured outside yesterday afternoon to view the remnants of our latest snowfall. There are only a few scattered traces of it and they are quickly disappearing. The forecast over the weekend here in Manhattan, Kansas is for a high in the mid 40's. Dare we dream of spring?

Back inside, muddy shoes off.

These toes are ready for spring!

Our weekend plans are simple: grocery shopping, studio time and a walk. What are yours?

Snow Days

So we've been having a lot of snow days around here. More snow fell this weekend which translates to sledding and snow angels of course! Lizzie and Patrick will most likely trek over to Cico Park this afternoon where they have discovered the best hills. This translates to studio time for me--Valentine goodies are in the works here at Sushipot.

White Christmas

A new year is just around the corner and many new ideas are churning here at Sushipot. Patrick, Lizzie and I spent a quiet Christmas Eve putting a puzzle together, cutting out paper snowflakes, reading books and eating cookies and Thai food. We woke Christmas Day to our first white Christmas together--it was magical and we all agree it has been the best one yet!
