Bows


I have bow fever..my fingers won't stop making these cute little things. I'm making hairbows, rubberbands/bows, headband bows. Loving the inspiration they are giving me for other "little projects"...

Starry Night

Last night John asked us to all come out front. We all wondered what could be so important at 8pm & in the middle of all the night-time going ons. I'm so glad we paused from the routine to run outside in the cool night air & look up at the sky.

Last night's sky was one of the most beautiful I have seen in a long time. The planets aligned with the bright moon staring right back at us. So many constellations twinkled as we stood there in the cold air looking up. So many I don't know the name of & a few that I've learned, like Orion that always comes around each winter in our front yard. I have no picture to show, but maybe tonight you can go out & take a look for yourself.

Bikes Rock!


Two wheels spinning behind your feet
One glance gave away your pick.
Blue paint & ribbon makes for a cool ride,
like new shoes on the pavement.
Riding into seven years feels like freedom behind the bars
Lead the way, we can't wait to see where you take us.

OTN

I have made a tiny bit of progress on the April Showers Cowl. It's dragging a bit...I have decided to start a spring/summer sweater in hopes that I will move along faster on the cowl. I think I work faster knowing there's more than one project alive in the basket. This is the pattern:

I just have to choose my yarn. I definitely want to go with cotton. I even like the two colors used in the pattern. Yarn shopping..yipee!

I also saw this adorable pattern on the same blog.. http://blog.a-common-thread.com/ How freaking cute is that bow:) Hoping it's as easy as it seems.. Purple or Pink?? It's a Maddie project.
