Raise your hand if...you've become addicted to crocheting!  

Here are my latest creations.

Crocheting on the Patio

 

Did this toddler beanie today while sitting outside in the beautiful spring weather.

    I love these colors!

Raise your hand if...you think this little guy is aDORable!!

Newest Creations

Having fun with yarn these days! 

Spring Colors

Spring pansy colors make up this cloche hat. 

Cloche Beanie

Evidently I've decided that I want to crochet at least one thing every day. This is today's accomplishment...yay me!

More Crocheting

Another sweet baby beanie is soft green and orchid. This will fit up to about 6 months old. 

Sinbad

Saw Sinbad last night in person...pretty funny guy!

Sunday's Creations

   

   Today's creations...crocheted beanie and dowsing pendulum that can also be transformed into a necklace.  I like feeling productive. 

Lavender Glass Beads Dowsing Pendulum

    Today's creation...

Crystal

    

I am mesmerized by this crystal, a watermelon tourmaline. I think it's breathtaking. 

Dowsing Pendulums

I began making and listing dowsing pendulums in my Etsy shop today.  I figured that since I've always loved color, rocks, crystals and beads, and since I'm a dowser, it just makes sense.  I actually dowse each one when it's complete to be sure I get a positive response; otherwise, it's back to the drawing board!  

It's something I've been pondering for awhile, but I finally made my mind up after reading a very cool message on Facebook this morning.  Here it is...

...perfect, right?!

Vermont

   Two different weather days here in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. 

My Morning View in Vermont

    My view each morning here on vacation in Vermont. Could be worse!

Yellow Bird

   

    I like this thought, a lot. 

Good Morning.

    Fishing shanties on the lake. Frrrreeeeezing out there!

Northeast Travels

  

   Two lovely scenes from our drive today. 

Winter Lucy

Lucy's wearing Bob's hat; it helps her feel like she's being helpful. 

What Is It?

Raise your hand if...you know what this is!  

It's actually a drop of water from snow melting on Bob's hat.  Cool, huh?

Snowy Lucy

  Lucy sitting and waiting for Bob to come back down the driveway. 

Snow Poem

We're due for another Nor'easter this Thursday.  This poem is dedicated to all of my friends who hate winter and dream about summer every single day!  

Strong Words

This is a picture of a note I have on my desk at work.  Every year in 6th grade we read The Watsons Go To Birmingham, 1963, and this is a quote from the older brother to the younger brother towards the end of the book.   It is such a strong message and I love it.

Winter Ride in the Country

There's nothing like a peaceful country ride to help clear your mind. Today's ride was a mere 50 miles!

Bird

    Snow day or not, a bird's gotta eat!

Snowy Scene

   "Chance of flurries today" they said. This morning, the ground was bare. 

Smoky Sky

Very scary seeing all that black smoke. We found out it was a barn that burned; luckily, no one was hurt. 

Buddha

More Lucy

   

    Good thing I vacuumed all the dog hair off the couch...now Lucy is more comfortable!

Winter Birds

Happy Bird Day!
