So much for spring!

Woke up this morning and there is an inch of thick wet snow on the ground.  DISGUSTING!  Very disappointed in mother nature right now - LOL! 

Sorry I didn't write in a while. I have no excuse, except that I've been busy knitting? :)
I finished Maddie's blanket the other day. She was smiling and laughing from ear to ear when I gave it to her. Brenda tells me she loves to sleep with it and she carries it around with her. Actually, yesterday she got gravy on it and I had to wash it. HA!! I meant to take a picture of her with it, but forgot. So, I'll try and do that this week.

I started working on a blanket for Kayla. It's a feather and fan pattern which creates this ripple effect. It's the first time I've knit using that pattern and it took me several tries before I got it right, but i finally got it figured out. Here's the first couple of pictures of what it looks like. It's very loose knit and soft...gonna be a good 'curling up on the couch' kinda blanket.

So, don't know if you all know this or not, but Jory loves to skateboard.  For his birthday this year, he saved up all his money and bought himself a longboard.  He will longboard all the way to Barrhaven and back just to get a ride. He took videos of himself the other day...and I'm having a really hard time getting them uploaded right now...so I'll just post this picture for now.  What do you think?  :) Pretty cool huh?

Well, I should get to work.  Hopefully, I'll have more stuff to post from home with my laptop where it's much easier to write posts...using the computer at work here without my blog writer software is really irritating. 
Hope you all have a blessed day.

May the sun bring you new energy by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night,
May the rain wash away your worries,
May the breeze blow new strength into your being.
May you walk gently through the world and know
it's beauty all the days of your life."

Remembering to always be grateful....today I am grateful for my health and for my children's health.    Thank you Lord.
