We now have lots of snow, which is kind of nice except for having to drive in it.  What a change!  We are expecting pretty cold temperatures for the next bit.  Makes we want to hide inside, drink hot chocolate, knit and quilt.

I finished knitting the wee beanie for my new great niece, Victoria. Right now it looks very plain, but I plan to do some embroidery around the cuff to dress it up.  Photos will be posted soon!  Over the next few days I hope to get some photos posted on my gallery pages so that you can see what I do.

It is beautiful; sunny and warm for a Saskatchewan winter day.  We have been blessed with such mild weather lately.  It makes walking the dog so much more fun! 

Okay, my son, the computer guy, is a comedian, too.  Just because I said I would knit him an icelandic sweater does not mean that I want to define myself as an icelandic sweater knitter!  I said I would give it a shot — and only if we could find a pattern and the correct yarn.  Don’t get me wrong — I do want to knit a sweater for him (it has been about 20 years since I last made one).  He has grown a bit, that’s all.  LOL.

I have been doing some quilting.  ’Been trying to finish up those UFOs that accumulate no matter how hard I try.  I’m making some headway.  I have also been thinking a lot about picking up my paints and brushes once again…it has been about a year since I have done any artwork.  I have lots of ideas that I am itching to try; it is just so hard to get started again.

My hands have been better lately, so maybe the bit of  knitting I have done has helped them limber up.  I find that, for all things, I have to switch tasks often in order to avoid major pain.  This is really hard to do when you just want to get on with it!  Oh well.  It could be worse!

I will post some photos of my recent projects soon, so if you are new to my website you will be able to see what kind of art and quilts I make.  Check out my “About Me” page for a sampling.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be back soon.
