So when you're the host - it is not an option to skip posting in Off the Wall Friday. Which is a good thing - really. Still once in a while I wish I could just shut the whole world out for a bit. Especially when nearly 2 feet of snow falls in 3 days and you are still expected to go to work and get your daughter to school. Snow is pretty looking out a window - but under your car tires - not so much. So while the word for 2013 is Productivity - I really fell short this week. I did managed to finish the sketch for the next redwork pattern. The tracing I made of the original photo needed some changes since the ladies looked a bit alien with their severe hair styles. I also met with my friend Sandy who helped me come up with a plan for the background the stitch blocks are going to be on. She's going to teach me a new surface design technique for it. Let's just say that it involves her airbrush booth!
So what have you been up to creatively???

Sorry you're feeling poopy - but glad your vacation plans are solidified!
Ha, here in Blighty we've had the white stuff too. But you Americans always go bigger - we've only had a paltry 6 inches or so. But you're right - under the wheels of the car its grim! We're apparently destined for more today and then a mega thaw so that there are flood warnings out (and I am not sure if you are aware but last year the UK had a very wet year - it never stopped raining so the ground is completely waterlogged already!)
Your summer school sounds fab. I haven't booked a class yet this year. Not quite sure if anything catches my fancy.
I haven't had so much of a productive week either. Have managed to pin a traditional quilt on to my frame (the Beast) ready for quilting. Hopefully next week will see more activity.
Keep warm.
Oh that trip and retreat sounds fabulous! I need to get off my butt , get out of my routine rut and do something like that.
The snow is beautiful, I live in Vermont and we have -10 degrees but no snow (well maybe 2" on the ground but I consider that no snow) I'd like a good foot or so to insulate the earth and help the wildlife get shelter.
Hey, it worked ...I just figured out how to link on OTWF's from a remote location, using my iPad. Nina-Marie ...given the dumping of snow you got, I keep the details of where I am to myself......think warm breezes....
I did list my blog. Not sure how to mention my just finished this past week are on my "Scraps" post. Also, understand your dilemma with the snow. I adore it but my children are grown and I work from home. Completely different perspective when you don't have to struggle with the snow, just enjoy it!
I haven't blogged all week, between work and the deep freeze (-18 in the morns!) I have had no creative energy. I am hoping that by staying in my jam jams I can write...but who knows. Love the pictures! So excited about your new summer adventure! Stay warm...
I love your pictures but I can totally relate to your mixed feelings about the snow! We're supposed to "warm up" next week ... so I guess that means we should prepare for some flooded areas . Your class sounds VERY interesting - looking forward to learn more about it!
I want to go with you!

Lovely photographs of the snow! Sounds like a wonderful workshop, I wish that I could attend!
I really feel for you... productivity can be elusive. I've been being very productive, but there's that little feeling or worry in the back of my mind that I won't be able to maintain it. Arrowmont sounds wonderful as does the class you'll be taking. Send a little of the white stuff out here to Seattle... my kids would love a snow day!
The snow has completely melted in London now. To get the children to school I'm pleased for none too. Enjoy your weekend:)
You week at the arts and craft school sounds exciting!
Thanks for hosting x
