I didn't think Spring would ever EVER ever get here. 

Pretty Crocus all out front.  My daffies are blooming too, but I didn't get a pic of them quite yet.  This past weekend was filled with yard clean-up, raking leaves, and counting the fishies in the fish pond.  We had 11 before winter, so far have only seen 10 come out, but the nights are still chilled, so they still may be sleeping.


This is my welcome spring Ripple Lap Blankie for those chilly night rides on the golf cart...

Pattern is from Lucy at Attic 24...such a nice pattern and soft ripples.  Most of the colors are from RHSS.  Hoping to be completed by this weekend's rides. 

Time to Catch Up

With the time changing in the wee hours this morning, I decided its time to catch up my blog...looking back, the last update was in January!!  What a cold and wintry winter we had this year.  So unlike this area.  Here's some wintry pics from January & February 2010

And while it was snowy and cold outside, I stayed inside and worked on some projects...

My daughter's boyfriend passed away in a car accident

on January 28th, and I made her a Hug Wrap. 

I used the crossover stitch

which makes an X for hugs, 

and used 3 shades of purple, his favorite color. 

Finished size 28"x74".

Just right for a hug when you need it!

This is a close up of the stitches

Scarves for my friend Jody...

Scarf for Jody's friend...

Scarf for Eileen...

And a scarf for Steph.....

Now some goodies for me....
A coin purse to hold my quarters for our Left Right Center game on Saturday nights, and cell phone cozie. 

Here's the pretty flowers that got me through the gloomy days of winter....

I can not wait for spring!!!!
