Wintry Ohio

This beautifully preserved sleigh hasn't seen any work this winter, so far. It is located in the Pioneer Village at Caesar Creek Park a little north of Kings Island. On Thursday we had a Winter Storm Advisory, but luckily it by passed us. It is freezing out now and a few flurries, but only a dusting and no ice.  We really can't complain...it's been in the 60's and seems to be heading up in temps again. We have soooooooo much water here that if it did snow I think it'd just melt in the wet and freeze or slush.

I have added the new things to my website I posted last week, so they are ready to go to a new home and I added the instructions and picture of the crocheted bedspread you can create yourself under

'Free Embroidery and Other Sewing Patterns' Here  on my website too.



With it so cold outside Cincy has a few things to do inside.............................................................
There is Krohn Conservatory
Where you can visit the desert, the rainforest, or a tropical getaway...all in the same day....................................................

You could also come over to Entertrainment and walk through an awesome display of train vignettes........

The displays start at the beginning of the Train era

 That is a real river running throughout the  whole building which leads to water falls

This is a separate room of season train layouts...couldn't leave out a wintry blast

The buildings are all created with exacting details..I love them as mini dollhouses.

And, I couldn't leave out the 1940's Woolworth building they created. They were working on modern train city, so no pix of that yet.

This  place is  great for all ages..male or female.....they change the displays every so often, but every time you go you see something you missed. There is a room where the train creators work as you watch......a cafe,....rooms to rent for parties......special event and display auditorium......Hobby Shop for trains, dollhouses...even outside train gardens (during the summer). 

Then there is the Museum Center...........................................................................

See the History of Cincinnati

Play in the Woods

or go in the Cave

and, you can't forget to check out ancient Ohio. There is so much more to see here it would take days to  visit.....and it does.

Of course there is no way to forget the Antique Malls to browse......................................................

Ohio Valley Antique Mall

Grand Antique Mall


And these are just the two close to home. There are many more only a few more miles away.

Now, in Cincinnati the saying is...'If you don't like the weather, wait 10 minutes it'll change'.......Well, one day it began at 60 something, but by the next it was 13 with a wind chill of 0...80. On those days I like to sit with my flowers......................................................................................................................

Get out the seed catalogues........................................................................................

and dream of my gardens.....................................................................

or create them...........................................................................

These are just a few things to do in wintry Ohio. On Pink Saturday I think I'll snuggle up with some warm hot chocolate and visit all the pinkiluscious post and then on Monday visit Etsy Cottage Style for their
 to dream of green.....colorful.....warm days.
On Wednesday I'll be at Sue's For Rednesday.................................................

to check out all the redhot vintage goodies.

Oh, and on wintry Ohio days I love to listen to old time radio shows while I embroider...'sew'.......I have placed a new radio show on the vintage..... just go to the vintage radio icon on the sidebar of my blog and click it. Remember the Cary Grant movie Topper, well this is the radio show version.  Topper became a weekly show. 'Sew' sit back, relax, go back in time..8o)
