We finally got snow! All season, I've been watching everyone else in the country enjoy snow on the Weather Channel and despairing that I'd see any this winter. We got just enough to cover everything in white and make everyone stay home who didn't *have* to get out. The house was extra-bright from the reflected light and I was able to watch it swirl around from inside my snug house.
I also had the furnace serviced today (routine, nothing wrong) and the news was good: 30+ years old and still going strong. Granted it's not as efficient as a new one, but we keep our heat set pretty low and it would take years to recoup the cost of replacing it.
No news on the costuming front. I finally gave up on the idea of having a dining room in favor of having a craft/sewing room located between my living room and kitchen. It's not normal perhaps, but it's my house. :P I have sewn some curtains for the living room (only needed to do it for the past 7 years) and some valances for the back bedroom (previously fabric storage/junk room). The clean sweep continues as it has for the past however many months, as I try to reverse my hoarding tendencies.
I need to get back into my costuming zone and finish something new for the Historical Ball at the end of the month, plus I need to branch out into 1812 for the upcoming bicentennial. Some of the guys from Rev War are getting a unit together, so I need to see about outfitting us for a different era. On top of the pending 18th cent. projects, of course.
