Nothing new

Not much new here.

I ran an errand for Far Guy...he needed some stuff... the store he sent me to had yarn for sale...more yarn may have been purchased for yet another project.  I am not doing very good on my word for the year ...focus.

Colorful artwork at the shop in Grand Forks.

flippin' happy home decor and more

We have one more day (Friday) of decent weather then our neighbors to the North are opening the deep freeze again:)   We have nothing planned for the weekend other than staying inside where it is warm!

Nice Day!

 We had a great day, it was 39 F or 4 C eh...got gas in the car ($2.59 a gallon...$2.47 with my coupon)and got it washed.  Ran some errands and made some scalloped potatoes for supper, Andy put a ham in the smoker...it was a really good meal. No one joined me in eating vegetables...Far Guy ate two peas...go figure I am the only one who like peas in this house.  I will have peas for lunch:)


Last week I bought this box to hold scrubbies and the small pouches I crochet. 

They fit perfectly!  The box is good sized and full so I am all caught up with those projects for now.

All smiles!

 "The Greats" were here over the weekend.  Growing like weeds and full of laughter and smiles intermixed with a few squeals by Peach...she knows how to get attention! 



All three loving a blanket ride.


Sadie checking to make sure everyone is okay...secretly I think she wanted a turn too:)

We have been in the deep freeze. Today should be better...45 degrees warmer than yesterday.  I am going to fill the car with gas and get a car wash! 

Four medical appointments crossed off the list yesterday...one more later this week.

I won!

 Sara over at Punkin's Patch had a drawing and I was the winner!!  Yeah me!


Fun stuff...a project bag, a note pad and her Lamb Camp ...the bottle lambs booklet!  The lamb camp booklet is a treasure in itself! 

 Head on over to Sara's blog...she is better known as the crazysheeplady. Over there you will find great photos about her flock of sheep...she does the hard stuff...raises bottle lambs that are rejected by their mothers...and takes in/rescues sheep that need a home and special care from Sara.  She washes, cards, spins and knits the wool from her sheep. I have been reading Sara's blog for many years...following the ups and downs of her life on Equinox Farm (falling in love with all her critters). Her blog is a treasure!  I am a winner just reading her blog however I do appreciate the gifts!!  Thanks Sara!

Sun bursts and dogs

 On Sunday afternoon I headed over to flippin' happy home and more decor.  It is a small shop on Washington over in Grand Forks North Dakota.  It is where Jen consigns her artwork and some of my crochet items...she was working and the shop owner was there and gave me permission to take some photos. 



This is the piece that I helped Jen paint a few days ago.  It is just beautiful! 

I will be showing photos of the shop from time to time...it is an interesting place. 

It snowed here and then turned cold.  

The sundogs were out.  Here is a photo of one sundog.  They almost always signal really cold weather.

Stay warm!
