Still cold...... Still below zero

Well i am officially sick.  I had Sophie this week and had to go into the world's biggest germ incubator (school).  It's hard to imagine that any germs are living after the sub-zero winter we have had.  So.. I am laying around today trying to feel better.  Maybe i will cut some cardstock later!  Happy thursday

Stamp a stack!

Howdy gals, we had a great time tonight!  Dave made a "redneck bridge" for us to get from the driveway of ice over the icey mudpuddle lake to the half flooded garage!!  (photo tomorrow I hope).  Did you get the visual through telepathy.  We chatted and laughed over 60's Startrek quotes that unfortunately we all knew and a little husband bashing.  Thanks gals for a totally fun night!!

Freezing cold tuesday

Happy Tuesday!!  We are back to just 7 degrees this am..... BRRRRRRR.  No walk today, my back is feeling the effects of not walking.  :(  so today we will cut cardstock, make kits, have scrapbook class, run errands etc.  Sophie is staying with us for 5 days so i have some added responsibilities this week.   Keeping another human and her bunny alive and getting her to and from school on time!!

My awesome knitting lesson

So for years i have wanted to try to learn to knit.  Poor Cindy has tried several times ( i am sure its the student )  So... Becky a retired 1st grade teacher agreed to try a different method.  So .... Circular needles, appropriate yarn, a pattern (scarey right), we started.  After two hours she thought she could leave me to "knit" ........Viola!  I was able to pick it back up later that day and over the weekend.  Here is what i have done so far.......i am way too excited.
