Spring is here!

For the last couple of weeks, it has been incredibly warm, and the plants are taking notice. The bulbs that we planted in November are starting to peek out of the soil.....

Kiddo is taking notice too!





How sweet it is to have color back in our lives!

3 month recap

Ok, so I have been delinquent with my blog for the last 3 months. I was incredibly frustrated with it over the holidays, and decided to save myself the stress. I found a very helpful blog to sort out my issues at -

bloggerfordummies

So here is a recap of what I have been up to these coldest of months :)

The Amigurimi boy doll turned out cute, and my son lovingly named him "Charlie"

The other Amigurimi project, the one I kept a mystery, was a Gnome, also from the Lion Brand website.

I also made a quick gift for myself when I found a beautiful cowl pattern by another blogger at -

craftleftovers.com

Here is my version....I used only yarn scraps and old buttons, not only green in color!



During my crafty x-mas madness, I had lots of help from the kiddo....





I got passed the madness and got to enjoy the Holidays!

Cold holiday Shop and Stroll, Craft Fairs,
and tree shopping (we never actually bought one!)

After the dust settled from the holidays, it was on to kiddo's 2nd birthday!!

Made him this too cute backpack out of my husbands old jeans and yellow fleece scraps.

My adaptation of this bag from Lisa at - u-handbag.typepad.com




WHEW!!! That brings us up to date!

Winter Gardening

Last weekend was spent shopping for bulbs and then planting them. My goal is to keep us outside even as the weather gets colder. 

As we were walking to "Rehm's" (our local gardening center), I was thinking of all the great shots I would get of the munchkin admiring the plants. Although when we arrived, he had plans of his own, he had found the centers cat, Daisy :) We spent the majority of time chasing the cat around and trying to pet her! 

A great lesson to stay in the present, it really is a gift!

We eventually did get around to looking at the plants....wow!

The next day we dug up some compost, and planted the bulbs.

Nice and warm for the winter!
