Wooden Snowmen and Zucchini Loaf (Sept.22, 2024)

I woke up when Jason was heading to work and made a coffee but Freya woke up too and wanted me to come back to bed with her so I did and I think we slept in until around 8:30.

When we did get up, we just did some cuddling while I had my coffee.
She did my make up and really we just had a chill morning.

At lunch time Kody called to say that Zepplyn was there so he was coming to pick Freya up.
She didn't want to go but agreed to if he gave her 15 more minutes to play.

After she left I got to work on some crafting.

I started these snowmen yesterday - I found some wood in the garage and painted it half black and half white.

I also found ends of stakes and cut them down with a handsaw which was a bit of a job but I got it done.

I finished all the base coating yesterday then today I sanded them to make them look rustic and worn then I glued and nailed them together.

I did some paint splattering on them then I painted on their eyes and I quite like how they turned out so far.

I took a break from the snowmen for a minute and sewed up another pillow - I think I have enough of the red blanket to make 2 or 3 more pillows of this size.

Then I got back to the snowmen and did some embellishing.
It's the fun part but it does take some time to do.

I kind of made them all slightly different.
After I finished two of them, I took a break from that and went looking for the Halloween decorations and decorated.

I just added a few things here and there - I don't go all out like a do for Christmas.

I got this funky pumpkin at a second hand store and I just love it.

I took a few of the regular items I normally have out and put them away to make some room for the Halloween stuff.
I normally just add the Halloween/Fall stuff but I didn't want it to look too crowded.

I found this metal spider at a second hand store as well, a couple of it's legs are broken off but it makes it even creepier and I just think it looks so great.

After I finished decorating, I got back to finishing up the rest of the snowmen.

I think they turned out great.

I gave a few of them bows.

Now I just have to think about how to add hangers to them.

I had hoped that I'd get some blogging done today as well, I'm still way behind but I never got around to it.
I didn't work out either and I didn't even really eat any 'real' meals today.
I had a couple of left over sloppy joes the I pretty much ate a whole loaf of the zucchini bread I made yesterday.

So I'm expecting that my weigh in won't be that good tomorrow.
I really need to get my head back in the game.


That's all for today, until next time, be happy!
