second grade knitters rock!!

This sweet student of mine finished her hat! So proud of her. Now she is going to knit a matching scarf.

I'm still here!

Just wanted to show you what I ended up making for Christmas gifts. I tried finding a hedgehog knitting pattern online, but ended up just making this one up myself. I am very happy with the end product. I think I made over 20 hedgies!!!

It's been so long since my last post, but I just wanted to pop in and show you the blanket I am working on for baby Max.

Easter bowls

Wasn't feeling the basket thing this year-I stuffed the bowls instead. I even forgot to make tails for the bunnies. Oh well, they only want chocolate anyhow.

golden baskets

I made little golden baskets for the children in my first grade class.

this moment

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
