Twisp of Fate

We returned from 6 nights away to find at least 18″ more of snow (we had about a foot before we left).  Our snowplow guy had come, but Rick had to do quite a bit of snowblowing yesterday to clear the path to the woodshed, etc.

Here is the scene from the back deck – there is an amazing curving icicle formation coming off the roof:

We made a couple of antique shop finds in Seattle and on the way home.  Mainly this cool vintage (?) bread store rack that has a Pillsbury Co. metal plate on the bottom shelf.  Fortunately it disassembled or else we would have never gotten it into the Honda CR-V.  Once put back together yesterday in my studio, I immediately filled it up with boxes of weaving yarns etc.

And in Monroe, WA I found another wicker mannequin head…I like these for hat display and photography.  Very reasonably priced, too, compared to what I am seeing on eBay (if you can find them at all).

I finished another Mosaic Mojo Hat while on the road:
