What's That Noise??

Listen...Can you hear it?

It's SPRING calling. It wants to come over.
But apparently not this weekend. Frost by Sunday!
...which is why I haven't set my plants out yet.
But I can't WAIT until my porch looks like this again:



...sigh...I'm so impatient.
Hurry up and leave already Winter.
I've had enough.

Tie One On

Hemp.
Beads.
Knots.

That's it. Don't you wish YOU had thought of it??

Pain In The...




Not the gift recipient. The yarn. Nightmare to work with.

Snags. Knots. Twists. I'm thinking there is a reason it has since been discontinued. So glad I've got two more skeins to work with. Lucky me.




Anyway, this is part deux of the Christmas in February post. This was the scarf I made for Emily. It actually looks really pretty and is quite soft. Just a nightmare - that YARN! Ugh. But I do love the color changes. So subtle. These colors remind me of a box of chocolates. Probably why Emily liked it so much, too!

Better Than Christmas in JULY





I finally made it out to Em's in February. President's Day actually. With the Christmas gifts. (Hey! Who doesn't give gifts on President's Day?!? You people just don't understand the holiday!)





Anyway...so here are the hats I made for the girls. Pink was for Lily. Purple for Vivien. HOWEVER...I think Lily is probably wearing both of them. Pink is her favorite color, but since Vivien didn't want to wear her hat that particular day...Lily decided to claim it as her own.

Ah...sibling rivalry. It begins early.







Will post the other gifts another day. Probably July.
