No, I didn’t knit this, but I did buy the pattern. It was a reward I gave myself for completing an errand I was dreading (returning a coat that was purchased as a gift and did not fit.) It’s called Brandywine Shawl and is by Rosemary Hill. The pattern cost $6.50 and $5.00 of it goes to Haitian relief efforts. It is available at http://www.designsbyromi.com/

I’ve been out of comission today with horrible back pain. ‘Must’ve picked the grandson up too many times yesterday!

We’re also snowed in! So today, I’ve worked on my craft library. Instead of a database, I used a table in a word processing program. I can insert a photo of the book and shrink it to fit the column. I’m putting the books in alphabetical order by title, and I can add a row wherever I need to.

Here are a couple of good books I rediscovered today:

Another Little Restoration

I have this little jingle bell arrangement that I hang on my mailbox post. The ribbons were really faded, and the berries were long gone. I didn’t want to hunt a new one or try to recreate it, so I grabbed some Sharpies, glue and beads I had on hand. I colored the ribbons and glued on the beads. When it dried, I hung on the mailbox post and I’m pretty happy with it! $0.00!
