I can't complain now that a "real" snow storm is on it's way today cuz we have had a "gentle" time of it so far. Yes, we've gotten some snow, but the sun has melted it all with in a day! Warm weather has been on and off here in VA as in many other States. Today we are expecting 6 + inches up here in the mountains, and by the looks and feel of the air outside it's gonna start any minute. I have my fireplace going with lots of crocheting to do. (2 baby blankets to be done in a week)
If you were wondering why I haven't been doing much painting that's the reason. I've been making little knitted neck scarves, and making fine doilies. Then there's this bright idea I had to paint a scene on the replaced wall in our bathroom. Our hotwater heater busted last year which was fixed and the old wall replaced, but I hadn't painted it yet. So I thought why not a mural...I used to lots of them, but since the last knee replacement I've discovered it was just too difficult to do a whole wall...painting down at the bottom was the problem..see I can't get on my knees anymore. This should be interesting to see how I finish it..ehheeh

Just the beginning of the 5x7 feet
This doily is white measuring 17.5 inches
in diameter
This one measures 29 inches in diameter
This little one measures 14 inches in diameter
Little short neck scarves, warm but a great fit
I've made all different colors with
Wool Ease thick and chunky yarn by Lion Brand
I had orders for 5 in this color, purple
Pssst, I thought if you were interested making any you can purchase the yarn for just $2.79 a skein from Walmart where all other places charges far more.
It takes only one skien to make one...I don't have a pattern but I cast on large knitting needles 9 and you would knit then purl 4 to 5 times then reversing the pattern to make the design. Drop 2 stitches in the middle of one row then add 2 stitches on the row after...If anyone finds a pattern plz share it with me..hehehe!!!
love and peace to all of you!!!
Stay warm and safe!
Well the snow has started in the time it took me to write this blog!
