A quick note

D has been in Japan for 3 weeks. He will be home on Wed. I am thrilled. 3 weeks is just a little too long for me. The stories he has told have been fantastic and I know he has had a great time.

I have accomplished very little knitting while he was gone, although I did get some scrapping done with my cousin A on Friday night. I had the best time.

The only knitting completed - A tricorn hat for M. He plays Alexander Hamilton today in a Mock Duel at school.

Red Leather

Check out the beautiful new couch. I have been wanting this couch for ages. Looks so pretty in my living room. And the red matches my fireplace.

I've Been Tagged

I've been tagged by Nancy (www.fancynancykay.blogspot.com).So let's keep this game of blog tag going.Here are 7 random and/or weird (you be the judge) facts about me:
1. I won't sit with my back to a door or a window (superstitious, I know, just like my grandfather Boyd)
2. I am a horrible Procrastinator
3. I am a piler. I will pile up stacks of paper and put them places, drives everyone else bonkers, but I know what is in those piles.
4. Love to eat potato chips with bbq sauce.
5. I am left handed. I can't do anything with my right hand, well except knit. I know, this is weird, but anything else with my right hand is impossible.
6. I am fascinated by storms. Any kind of storm. Love to stand in a window or on my covered patio and watch the storms - would have loved to become a storm chaser.
7. One of my favorite things to do - sleep.

Here are those of you that I am tagging:

February's Socks - finally done

You know I have set this goal to knit a pair of socks a month, well it is Feb 29 at 10 pm and I am finally finishing the socks. Finally.

I like them, The Fawkes pattern in Tofutsies. I really like the yarn.

Finally finished - Swan Lake (Mystery Stole 3)

Finally, I put this away for awhile to knit for Christmas. When the SheKnits group on Ravelry decided to try lace in February, I pulled it back out. I am pleased with how it looks. Sure wish I had blocking wires, but I am blocking it as best as I can. Can't wait to wear it.




The ice storm that was predicted today is here. Schools dismissed 2 hours early and that really wasn't enough, the sleet started about an hour before the boys were home from school. Ice - so dangerous, yet so pretty.

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope everyone has had a wonderful day. The sun is shining here, the snow is melting - just a beautiful day.


This is a layout of M and I. He is such a joy.



I want to especially say Happy Valentine's to my husband. He is in Canada on business and we can't spend the day together. Love you Dave!
