Weekend Projects

Well, I did pretty good and kept my nose to the grindstone. I made two darling aprons for my granddaughters to use when helping me cook. When I tell Peanut it's time to cook dinner she says "where's my apron", so now I have one for her at Mimi's house.



I also did a lot of work on crib size quilts but didn't finish anything... these really are longer time projects. But I did finish a little cross stitch stocking.



I also got in a few WII workouts. I'm finding the boxing really works out my 'back fat' :). Still haven't done the 'bike' workout but I'm getting better at the soccer and I actually caught a hula hoop... I know I know everyone is doing better than me, but it's still a workout. Both of us are really enjoying it.

Oh yeah, look what else I found on my camera. Peanut playing Farkle with us :) I think we took this right after Christmas.

Another Project Done

I finished one little project. A little decorative stocking for the new little one. I also added the picture of all of them. They're cute as a decoration at Christmas time.



Started a fun project yesterday. While in Alaska last summer I noticed in my brothers garden little rocks painted with the plant name. So then, while in Homer AK I saw the perfect rocks for just such a project. Yes, I grabbed a few off the shoreline for this project. I was dreading starting because I'm not very artistic, but then I just jumped in and decided to keep it simple. I'm just painting the name of the plant and I think I'll put a little leafy design or small bloom for some color. We also bought a lot of beautiful rocks for the garden. Seems silly to pay money for rocks, but they'll add color to the garden til the blooms start. I'll post pictures when I get them finished.

Are you starting to anticipate Spring yet? I've noticed plants starting to poke through and the grass is actually getting greener too with all the rain we've gotten. Can't wait to get dirt under my fingernails, but these little projects will have to keep me happy til then.
