It’s cold! I’m sure that a lot of you are also in the deep freeze here in the USA, as most of the country is seeing record cold temperatures. At 3:30 p.m it is a breezy -1 degree F with a feels-like temperature of -19. And that is warm compared to some places farther north. At least we still have power. I understand the power company here is going to start rolling blackouts tomorrow to save energy. Wonderful.
I’m home today due to some of the machines at work not liking the cold temperatures, causing work to be canceled until tomorrow afternoon. This has given me time to work on my blog, right? I keep getting distracted by all the birds at the bird feeders. There are a lot of them today.
Yes, there was a squirrel visiting also. But many more birds and they keep coming. I’ve seen Blue Jays, Cardinals, house finch, Red-wing blackbirds, sparrows and others that I’m not sure of. I’m new at bird watching, but it is entertaining.
I’ve taken so many pictures today that I had to stop to charge the camera. So I finally can take time to type this up.
I have tatted a bit, and I have plans to do more.
This decorated button is in Lizbeth #320 Steel Blue in size 20. It is one of the metallic threads and is very hard to take a good picture of. It either washes out because it is so shiny, or it looks dull like regular thread. After multiple tries, this is the best I could do.
The button is 1/4″ across (about 12 mm). I had thought I was going to tat a heart for Valentine’s Day, but it didn’t come out that way. I like it anyway.
I hope all of you in the deep freeze are staying warm.
Your button design is fabulous!! 🙂
Stay warm and keep feeding the birds! The button ornament would make nice earrings, especially in metallic thread.
You are really having a blast of cold weather, please done send it over the pond,
I have been enjoying your photos of the birds, we dont get cardinals in the UK, only seen them in photos
Love the button lovely design
Stay warm safe and well
