Getting Through the Winter

cozy-fire-susan-robertsDo You embrace winter or do you strive to just get through it? I admit I tend toward the latter in as much as I detest being cold and wet…so I do avoid going outside as much as possible in the winter. My husband is one of those people who (although he doesn’t like the cold either) feels he MUST have fresh air each day or he gets into a physical funk. Although I can appreciate the logic behind this…I still prefer hibernating.

So…this leaves me inside…and THIS is where I begin embracing winter! Inside…left to hang out all day long…this is when I can tackle put-off projects, start new ones, reorganize that cupboard or closet that has been bothering me, rearrange the furniture, do some deep cleaning, or…just sit and cross stitch or crochet. Yes…I am a homebody who is happiest when the pulls of life are not tugging at me in all directions outside of my cozy home. A day I do not need to venture out is one of the sweetest, in my book.

Do you have any winter projects you are tackling this winter? I’ll share a few of mine:

  1. Cross-stitching a baby sampler
  2. Crocheting an afghan
  3. Piecing baby’s quilt and making the crib set
  4. Reorganizing the kids’ rooms and shuffling some kids around to different beds/rooms
  5. Deep cleaning (begins in approximately one month)
  6. Planning this year’s garden

That’s about it…but really…that’s more than enough to take me well into spring. As soon as spring is in the air I’ll be totally consumed with everything gardening!

What’s on your winter TO-DO list?
