Laowai

The house feels especially cozy when the snow is falling outside. This is my upstairs hallway. I'm hoping it will be my next painting project – it still has blue trim and cream colored walls. But that won't happen until summer. For now it's a comfy place to sit while Claire practices piano.

I sewed all my quilt blocks together but then I think my iron broke. So the seams are waiting to be pressed.

Here's Claire and her friend sledding before we got about nine extra inches of snow.

Bea basking.

Bea and I went to her happy place – an aquarium store.

My mudroom overflowing with coats and snowpants and gloves and scarves.

Someone made cupcakes and this is how my mixer looked afterword. Oh my.

A couple pictures taken from inside:

Apparently we value tallness around here.

And now it's early Monday morning. The sun is peaking through the clouds and the snow is sticking to the mansard.
