Jungle Gym

It was a beautiful weekend

 to have the granddaughters here...

and to conquer the playground!

 

 

Three hours of fresh air and sunshine...

just what the doctor ordered.

 

Sunshine is a welcome thing.

It brings a lot of brightness.

season finale

This is a not-so-very-springy post.

And I am feeling this spring-like weather!

 

Today I have a couple windows open

 and few items on the clothesline.

 

 

I finished my Downton Abbey Sampler Scarf.

Just in time for the season finale...

which came way to fast.

 

 

I liked the fact that I was using up scrap yarn...

but was less than pleased with some of that yarn quality.

 

 

When you spend hours and hours on a project

you want it to look and feel superior.

 

 

So...

while I wait for the next season of Downton Abbey

I will have to find a more suitable project.

The Circus

Happy Friday everyone!

 

Two short weeks until spring.
 I may even get out for a short walk today to celebrate that fact.

I loved making this bag,

from start to finish.

 

 

I envisioned it as a diaper tote bag.

It has lots of pockets inside for all of baby's things.

 

 

And how about this news from Ringling Bros. and Barnum Bailey...

They are dropping their elephant acts.

 Thirteen traveling-circus elephants will retire to Florida by 2018.

 

 

I love everything about the circus...

but it's a sad fact that this magnificent animal

 was never meant to be enclosed.

Did you read Toby Tyler as a child?

I always had my head buried in a book

and this was one of my favorites.

sweets

I think grandma needs to make this baby some bibs...

What do you think?

 

 

Poor bib-less baby!

 

 

strawberries

 

 

and cupcakes...

 

 

definitely two of my favorites.
