Snow Again!!!!!!!!

This is when it all started. A few days after Christmas we got 20+ inches.
Today we had the 4th storm in 4 weeks and I hear there is another storm on it's way for Tuesday.



We had a special holiday this year with Lula added to the game table.




Now that First Born is back at work Lula is with me all day and I'm loving it.
This is the bookcase filled with books and toys from her Mom and Tia.


I have everything I need to take care of grandbabies. Bring them on Last Born!



Here is my new laptop and the awesome screen saver pictures of my family.
I'm still working on learning to use it but I do love it.



This is a sweet little jacket I made for Lula. Jardin Baby Jacket is by Melissa Matthay free and can be found here.



The button are for show and there are snaps behind them.


This was a sweater I had on the needles for many months and is now done.
Lucille by Courtney Kelley is free
here.
I ran out of yarn and had to shorten the sleeves but I still think it looks nice.



Back to my love of making gloves. These are another pair of Magical gloves without the flap to cover the fingers. First Born wanted them so she could take care of Lulas needs without taking off her gloves.
It's a free pattern by Jo Calvert but for some reason I was not able to find the site found. The yarn is by Rowan Kid Classic and amazingly soft.


I just started a pair of gloves that will also be fingerless made out of Flat Feet.
The pattern is a great basic glove pattern by Sandi Rosner found in a great book Not Just Socks. Anyone who enjoys working with small needles and sock yarn must get this book.

More Gifts!

Our little L is getting bigger and at 23 weeks is keeping First Born up at night.



When I started to clear the attic I found a box of booties made by my Mom and my Aunt.
They were crocheted and knitted with love for my girls and I can't wait to see my grandbabies in them.



I finished the Autumn Leaves sweater for L. Made with Rowan Kid Classic yarn it is super soft and warm.


This great pattern by Nikki Van De Car can be found here for free.


Now that I'm 58 and retirement is days away I gifted myself something I've always wanted but never dreamed I would get. Not one but two Michael Kors bags.


This is part of his classic tote.


I love the lock and a key comes with it!


There's enough room for me to take knitting with me.


The second one is a satchel and was on sale so I just couldn't pass it up.


It's smaller than the tote but still tons of room.

I hope this is not the start of a bag frenzy!!!
