We got snow last week!

Can you believe it? Check these out!





This is the dwarf rhododendron that is blooming. Didn't I say it has been covered in snow before? Hmmm.

Now it is almost March - WOW!!

I have been so bad at keeping this up. I'm sorry. I am going to try very hard to do a better job.

I do have to get you all up to date though. I would like to start off with our first sign that Spring is coming.
This is our dwarf rhododendron. We have even had years when the bush was covered in snow and blooming.

Here are the goodies I made last year.
This is the hat and scarf set I made for my Mother-in-Law Lotus. She lives in Central Oregon and it gets cold there, so she needs to be warm. I am very happy on how this turned out. The wool is natural colored Wenslydale, dark and light grey

This was a 'Montana Scarf' for D~'s Uncle in Montana. Another colder climate so he needed to be warm too! I used the dark grey Wenslydale. This was a very cool scarf to make, turned out great.
This is little iPod sweater I made for new iPod I got for Christmas. Don't want to brag but, all the yarn used was hand spun and the teal I also dyed myself. I'm very proud of that little sweater.
Then I made this tea cozy. I always wanted one so when I finished the little sweater, I made this. A good use of those 2 weeks off. I loved those snow days!

I have never shared any pictures of my trip to France last year. So I thought I would end with a few of my favorites.
