Few and Far Between

I know my posts have been few and far between this year, but there's not been much for me to write home about.

The winter is a miserable time of year as far as I'm concerned so I prefer to spend most my time hibernating.

Aside from running errands with Toby, an occasional outing to the Blue Hanger with Robin, or our weekly get together with our homeschool clan not much else can be said for the past several weeks.

While I'm coiled up under my warm blanket on the sofa I have made use of my time with some crochet projects.

My friend Angela is expecting another little bundle of joy, so I have whipped up a few little items for her. I enjoy working on baby items because they are easy and quick to work up. Angela hasn't even seen them yet, so Angela if you are reading this, SURPRISE! :-)...

This was my very first attempt at a garment of any kind so I was pretty satisfied with myself. This dress will also include a pair of matching booties which I have not yet finished...

I had a request for a neon colored pin cushion from a friend in Alabama so this is what I came up with for her....

I had these hexagons left over from an abandoned project so I turned them into a hotpad....

I whipped this up one evening as a quickie project sparred by boredom. With it's ocean theme maybe I was longing for a little warm weather...

I had been wanting a spring wreath for my front door, but they are so expensive to buy. I also have a black front door so it's hard to find something that will contrast to the black. I got this idea that maybe I could make my own so I perused PINTEREST for ideas and this is what I came up with. I'm thinking of maybe adding a bird or a butterfly.....

This project was so much fun I'm thinking of making one for each season.

One of the few pictures I have been able to get these days of my teen.....

My boy Bo....

My morning green goodness. I attribute my good health to my morning walk/hike/run and one of these green smoothies. It may look gross but I can guarantee you I have perfected them to be quite tasty....or maybe I have just acquired a taste for them....

I snapped a picture of these scene on my way home from the grocery store one day. I loved the way the clouds blanketed the edge of the sky....

Here are a couple of pictures from our bike ride on Shoal Creek near downtown a few weeks ago. Although the scenery was beautiful, I didn't get but these two pictures because the terrain was terrible for my street bike and I struggled to stay steady. This would have been a great hike but I consider not much fun for a bike ride....

I'm patiently waiting for the weather to warm up.
