We had a surprise snow day Tuesday, although it was really for ice, not snow. No local or regional forecasts predicted the sleet and freezing rain that we received, and so none of the roads had any applications of beet juice, sand, or salt in preparation. The roads quickly became very, very slick, and so almost all area schools canceled classes for the day.
Including mine. And let's be honest - what teacher doesn't love a snow day? An unexpected opportunity to sleep in a bit, read a good book, catch up on a few chores? I'll take it, and today I chose to make my snow day a "sew day."
I sewed Valentine pillowcases for Mila and Kate, both of whom turn two this year and so will be getting their holiday pillowcase sets. (I also worked ahead and made Mila's St. Patrick's Day one, too.)
Each pillowcase takes about twenty minutes to make.
And I tag them with orange postits so I know which one goes to who (I don't want to use the same fabric that I used for one of their siblings.)
The Valentine ones are done and just one more St. Patrick's Day to make for Kate. I am also beginning her quiet book, so stay tuned!
