Signs of Spring

 
Good morning,

When I was out in the back yard with the dogs yesterday afternoon, I saw the daffodils poking up in front of the stone wall. 

We have had temperatures in the 60's and down to zero over the last few weeks.  Now that the daffs are poking their leaves up we know Spring is getting close!

All the very best,

Lois 

 

 

 

Egg Lunch Salad During Lent

 Good morning,

That's going to be LOTS of egg salad!  Catherine is making it for the dog club luncheon during a show.  

It looks good to me! 

 Of course, Lily is available to supervise and be the official Lab tester.

Yum!

Work in Process This Week - Intarsia Hat

 Good morning,

My current project is an intarsia knit hat.  When finished, it will be available in the shop.   There are similar hats in other colors in the shop that are available to ship now.

I have been making some smaller items since finishing the Large Warm Rich Browns Afghan Blanket last week.  After a large project, it is fun to switch to some small projects for awhile.

What are you making, baking, growing this week?

All the very best,

Lois

Potholders Made in Norway

 Good morning,

Those lovely pot holders are eleven years old. When Kjell and I visited Norway in 2015 we visited his sister and brother-in-law.  While sitting on their deck, my sister-in-law pulled out her knitting needles, yarn, and began knitting.  Before the evening was over, she handed me this lovely pair of potholders.

These are double thick and just wonderful to use.  I've been using them for eleven years now and they are like new.

I so appreciate hand made gifts.  Thank you, Torild, I think of you every time I use them. 

All the very best,

Lois

So Peaceful

 Good morning,

That's sweet Elsa sleeping on the couch with Catherine's pillow.  

It's really hard to be a dog here. 

Precious.

All the best,

Lois

CinCity Short Ribs

 Good morning,

Catherine sent me this image of her Short Ribs dinner at CinCity Steak House, a lovely Cincinnati restaurant. 

My goodness, that looks good.

At least I can enjoy seeing it without eating a single calorie.  There are good things about images....

Velvet Roses

 Good morning,

These roses are so pretty that I had to get a picture to share.  These are from My Honey for Valentine's Day.  

The roses are real, but they appear to be made of velvet.

So pretty!

Thank you, Sweetie!

Love you,

Lois

(Special thanks to Kjell's not-so secret shopper, Catherine.)
