Weathering the Storm

Micro macrame bracelets by Sherri Stokey.

We had a blizzard this week!  We got over 11" of snow that blew into drifts over 4' tall at my house.  It made getting to work (or anywhere else, for that matter) impossible and resulted in a... wait for it... SNOW DAY!  I was perfectly content to stay in and watch movies while working on micro macrame bracelets.  I caught up on the 2016 remake of War and Peace and watched Dr. Zhivago and got three bracelets mostly finished and another one started!

The bracelets I made all have the same beads (matte metallic khaki iris) and khaki cord.  The first one was solid khaki cord, then I tried adding in a couple shades of green.

 Which led to trading out the deeper green for a coppery pink cord.

And then that led to switching out the green for a deeper pink.

That led to switching out the lighter pink for the deep green.

And before I knew it, I had all of these (had to finish up over the next couple of evenings):

All in all, I consider it a most excellent snow day.  So tell me, what would you consider the perfect snow day?

  1. I love your snow day! My perfect snow day would have to be, not shoveling or using the snowblower. Sitting in a comfy chair, watching the snow come down, sipping hot chocolate, snuggling under an afghan I crocheted, while reading a good book! Wow, that really does sound perfect, it's nice to have a dream....lol Patricia B

  2. The best snow day is when someone else does the shoveling! I love all the versions of your bracelet. Khaki Iris is one of my favorite bead colors too. The version with the pink cords makes the beads looks so pink! I'm going to have to try combining pink with those beads.
