Busy Bee

The only good thing about being snowed in is that I get a lot of work done that I otherwise would not have time to do.

While being snowed in I:

- Made a bunch of jewelry (I will have pictures tomorrow)

- Played WoW with Mr. P

- Gave myself another manicure (Did not last very long, since shortly after I started cleaning)

- Scrubbed my kitchen floor (Boy, did it need it!)

- Caught up on all the shows recorded on the DVR

- Started remaking the skirt I messed up last weekend. I just need to go out and buy a new zipper to match the fabric.

- Played Just Dance (that thing works you to death. But it is insanely fun.)

- Ate lots of Pancakes, made by the breakfast King Mr. P. (I just love Brinner)

Tomorrow is back to reality. I will be heading back into the office to catch up on all the work that I neglected this week. Is all good because it is only fun to stay home when Mr. P is here and he is heading back to work too.

How was your week?

Ciao! xoxo

Nail of The Week: Dottie Tips

We got a record 30 inches of snow in the DC area over the weekend. The power went out last night in my neighborhood making everything very dark and very dangerous.

I wanted to work on my sewing projects again today. But after my breakdown yesterday, I was just not feeling it. I also need to get a new zipper for the skirt. But since we are currently in lockdown, I will not be getting a new one for a few days.

So I decided to turn it into a beauty day. I gave myself a pedicure and manicure and watched the Supernanny marathon on the Style Network.

Here is my nails for the week:

Nail Polish: O.P.I Big Apple Red, LA Colors Black and White Art Deco

Base: Nail Tek, Orly Bonder

Top Coat: Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

As a bonus here are some pictures I took from my balcony yesterday.

Look at how high the snow is!

I was just watching the news and the roads and highways are really bad. The metro bus is not running, the underground metro train is running on a limited schedule, but the above ground train is not running at all.

Our roads have not been cleaned out and today we tried to get the car out and couldn't. It is looking like we will be home bound for at least one more day.

I Am Ready......

for the snow storm that we are supposed to get this weekend. In the first picture are the patterns that I will be working on and the second photo is the fabric that I may or may not be using. I have not made a decision on what fabric to use on what pattern. But I will look through my stash later today, pre-treat the fabric and start cutting. So when I wake up on Saturday I can just start sewing.

I also have some jewelry projects, which I will work on when I take sewing breaks. My goal is by the end of the weekend to have at least one new outfit with new jewelry to go with it.

S0 come on 30 inches of snow! I am ready for you!

Ciao! xoxo
