A Day of Crochet!

What a busy weekend! We took the kids to Applebees for dinner Friday night and I enjoyed a nice juicy steak. On Saturday, it was Erik and Mom time together. We shopped for clothes and had lunch together at the food court. Erik loves the chinese food. On Sunday. our small Bible study group got together and we watched the Patriots win their way to the Superbowl! Yippee! No school for today so Jeffrey got up and he crocheted a granny square. He looked up granny squares on the internet-I guess he had to get it perfect. I wonder what he will do with it. He crocheted a bunny for his teacher who just had a baby. Craig came home today from Cedarcrest so we are all happy he's back. I am thankful for all the loving people who help take care him. I hope to get some stitching in tonight but sometimes when night comes- I am zonked out and fall asleep. Well, at least last Friday, I got my floss for Blessed Day organized. I went to A.C. Moore's and loved the new new metallic floss colors and the new variegated DMC floss. Tyler is working on his art project for school. So artistic! I tell Tyler that whenever I am doing my cross-stitch, "I'm doing my artwork Tyler." It makes him laugh.

Happy Snowy January!

Today was a beautiful sky blue winter wonderland day. At work, I felt the warm sun on my legs as I supervised the kids on the playground. They love the snow! We have had quite an eventful weekend. On Friday, Jeffrey and Kelli had fun creating geometric shapes out of spaghetti noodles and marshmallows. Kelli made some really cool polygons and Jeffrey made a cool roller coaster model. Jeffrey's friend, Spencer, came over on Saturday. As always, they always have fun together and Jeffrey enjoys entertaining. Another school closing on Monday due to snow. And on January 14, Mike turned 46! Jeffrey has been teaching a friend and her daughter how to crochet. He even had orders from school! Some kids would order a crocheted baby chick or a dragon and he crocheted a beautiful blue and white hat for a Christmas gift exchange. I have been working on my first big challenging cross stitch project on 28-count antique white glittery linen. The material beautifully glistens in the light. I have a long ways to go! it is called "Blessed Day" and it is a picture of an angel and Baby Jesus.
