Spring coming our way without delay

The beauty of spring colors and scents. So much snow over the past several weeks it is time for a change. I am looking forward to warmer weather and brighter days. A reminder of what is to come. So for now snow snow go away, bring on spring and lets get to May

Saturday Camera Critters

While visiting the Maryland Zoo this past summer, my daughter always wanted to ride on a camel. He sure was a hungry critter and wasn't really interested in getting his picture taken grrrrrrrr!

Be sure to visit more camera critters to add your own.

Snow Snow GO AWAY

Our latest storm here in New Jersey has been a slow-moving winter storm packing heavy snow and strong gusty winds. It flurried all day long but we are headed into the evening with a blast of winter winds and more snow to come. Enough already!- I don't want to shovel any more snow. Spring where are you?

Beads - Just what you needed

Here is a little handy trick when your knitting or crocheting and trying to remember what row you are on.
Take a small box and some beads. Count the number of rows that you are working on and gather together the same number of beads. Place all the beads outside of the box. After you have completed a row place one bead back inside of the box. When all the beads are in the box you have completed all the rows you were working on. This trick is sure to help if you want to talk on the phone or watch your favorite television show while you work on your project. I use this method all the time and never miss a row.- Enjoy!

Gathering Yarn

My yarn partner "Edggie" even he needs a little decoration. I love this little guy. I found him at a yard sale and could not resist buying him for 50 cents. What a deal. Selecting yarn for my next project seems to take endless hours of contemplating but I'm confident my choice will turn out just as pretty as the others.

Well...we only have another month to battle the winter blast's of snow. I am anxiously looking forward to springtime and keep checking if my flowers are starting to bud. Even the bugs are welcome!
