snow and more!


...It is snowing! I love snow. I think if it is cold outside it might as well be snowing and so far this year, that hasn't been the case. But today we have snow. Yay! And school is still in session, so that is good too. :)

It does crack me up though--the local news stations are fanatics about bad weather. They will devote themselves to all day weather coverage if they can. Some of it is justified; letting us know about wrecks or updates on the snow, but some of it is just funny. "Let's go to Enid and talk to so and so and let's look at him stand in the cold and show us that it is snowing. Wow."

And here are my boys wearing their knitted hats. Yes, I knitted (if that is what they call what I did) hats. I used a knitting loom which is a wheel with pegs and it is so easy and has been fun to learn. I have been wanting to learn to knit or crochet for awhile. Why? I don't know exactly. Maybe because it is something I can do to help my remember my great-grandmother. I still remember Granny sitting in her chair and giving all her great-grandchildren crocheted booties. I received yellow ones and I wore them until the bottoms wore out. And while I haven't exactly learned the skill of knitting or crocheting (is that a word?), I am getting closer.

Last night the boys made their own pizzas. They decided to make smiley faces. I just decided to share that with you!

Love the hats. I can sit and knit and not have to put food into my mouth! Sandy

Great hats. I have the same loom and love workig with them. I have the straight ones too, and am looking for the color yarns I want (all on sale at the right time since yarn does get pricey when you want a lot) to finally start the blanket pattern.
I have one of my most recent hats posted on my blog if you would like to see, and have a bunch of scarves I'm working on too.
Keep up the great work!! It's one of the best ways to relax!

Cute hats! And I agree about snow...it's been really cold here lately and without snow it's just pointless misery.
