11-24-2013 Happy Sunday! This has been a very interesting couple of days out here in the nether lands of Texas. Friday hubby and I both came down with bad case of food poisoning (UGGG!!) but luckily was only 24 hours of misery. During that time winter storm Boreas hit this part of Texas and we went down and found our car encased in ice. After getting all the ice off the windows we headed to a large annual craft fair they have here in Lubbock. I was very excited as it had been quite a while since I had indulged my not so secret passion of going to craft fairs. Alas I was very disappointed. There were in all fairness some beautiful textiles and some great sauces and dips but not much else that I would consider crafty. I think we would have done very well if we had been able to get a booth ( however we were too late to get a booth and they were ridiculously expensive!) We finished our day with some chores and settled in for a night of creating jewelry. We managed to get several new pieces done that we think would make wonderful Christmas gifts as 3 are set with rubies. I have pictures below and they are in the Etsy shop.
This morning we woke up to sight seldom seen in Texas- snow! It makes for a beautiful sight but I dread the thought of driving in it to work tomorrow as there is a layer of ice under all the pretty white stuff. Being a physician I know the consequences of ice on roads and drivers who don't know how to drive on it. Hopefully people will slow down and take extra time getting to where they are going. For now though it is nice to sit back with a cup of apple cider and enjoy natures show. Stay warm and safe.
