It’s All About the Weather Right Now ~Hubby Has a New Hobby

January in the Dakotas...
We expect snow and cold.

However, this is extreme. 
We set a record low temperature this morning...
this is the actual temperature.

Factor in the wind chill, and it feels more like this. 
Not fit to be outside more than a couple of minutes, 
therefore no school, 
no mail delivery, 
no garbage pickup.

This was the view from my sewing studio window.

And this is what it looks like out on our patio. 
I guess we won’t be grilling anytime soon!

We are thankful for our warm house, 
and warm man cave .
Hubby has been experimenting with a new hobby.

It requires creativity and a steady hand.

It all started during the holidays. 
He made muddlers to send to our sons-in-law, 
(along with a cocktail set with other bar tools)


He is also practicing with these honey dippers.

When he perfects his skill, 
he can use special wood like this.
This is such a pretty piece.

Stay safe and warm, my friends.

Take care,
~Natalie

Natalie, has Scott thought about making candlesticks with designs similar to the muddlers?

Perhaps my most favorite thing is spending time visiting our adult children in their homes… Just being a part of their everyday routine make...
