Christmas 2013
In the madness of the shopping and festivities, it is so refreshing to celebrate the season of our Savior's birth at Christmas Eve services, and bring us back to the meaning of forgiveness and love as it is meant to be.

Jenny's Journey
Sometimes, something in life happens that you can't quite comprehend. The passing of my niece who lost a 3 year battle with leukemia was just devastating to all who loved her. She fought a courageous fight and at the end, she was at home where she wanted to be surrounded by loved ones including her "boys" - the 2 little dogs she loved so dearly. Rest now Jenny, you're free.

Fall Knitting Retreat
Fall is my favorite time of year. I went the first ever Fall into Fancy Image Yarn Knitting Retreat held at Timberline Lodge at the base of Mt. Hood, Oregon. The weather was gorgeous and I met so many nice people at the retreat. The best part was the hand dyed yarn that Myra made up just for this knitting retreat. I made some fingerless mitts out of them (pattern supplied at the retreat and you can download it free from Ravelry - it is called Susie Roger's Reading Mitts). The pictures do not do the colorway of this yarn justice. It is autumn in a skein of yarn!

End to a great day!
Had a great time at the neighbors for BBQ on the 4th. The weather was perfect in the 80's during the day and crisp cool sleeping weather in the 50's at night.

Valentine's Day Treats
For Valentine's Day, I'm posting some of my favorite things.
I love making cards, and I made this card for my mom using a combination of Stampin' Up products and some from Joann's. Ida's Cupcake Cafe makes the best red velvet cupcakes! I have to say, that after a 48 hour work week, nothing feels better than a pedicure from Terri at Celadon Spa.
