Birthday Present Embroidering

I bought eight different handkerchiefs from Etsy. They all had different designs, but all were of the flower variety.

With that starting point, I monogrammed each one a little differently. This was my favorite.

The lines reminded me of guidelines on paper when we were learning cursive.

This was a late birthday present, but it turned out well. Though I should have ponied up a bit more money for the handkerchiefs. They were scratchy, overall.

Beginning to Thaw

The path I scraped out on our sidewalk has enlarged, so it’s slowly warming up.

It really does help things to melt when sidewalks are shoveled. Something Portlanders don’t do because “the snow will be gone tomorrow.” Perhaps that feeling is ready for a climate change update.

The car is covered in ice, though it isn’t as thick as it was earlier in the week. Driving out of that ice slick is also keeping us from using the car.
