This is the most snow I have ever seen!! I finally caved and upgraded my shovel yesterday. I shoveled all of this for my morning workout. I am already feeling it. Also had to make sure I shoveled a path so I can do laundry. Man it seemed like forever to get all the way to the warehouse. Glad its done for now, but the bad news is that it is still snowing.

Lately I have had a lot of fun crafting. I have made 6 weighted blankets since about the beginning of November. I really love the words and pictures on the white fabric. I have found it in flannel and soft and minky. However the JoAnn's in Soldotna has been out of the soft and minky version for awhile now. I really have loved making these and have given away all but 1 of them. The 2 below were given away to some special people who I thought could really use one!
According to Medical News Today and Bustle the benefits could include:
I have also been trying to find ways to reduce my impact on the environment. In our area there is a competition call Caring for the Kenai, that we have all students enter. A big component is to try to help the environment and I have been trying to find easy ways that I can do more. I bought some fabric quarters when they were on sale for $0.79 each to make napkins. I finally got around to making them all and now have 10. I found the perfect basket at Walmart to hold them. So that is what I have been up to. Nothing super exciting, but I have definitely been getting better at using my sewing machine. I just got it at the end of October. Bought a used one I found on Facebook Marketplace. All of my other weekends pretty much consisted of the picture below. LOL. Not sure where I found this picture but I think it came from Facebook.
