This and That

It's Friday and the sun is shining!

YeeHaw!

After a week of dark, dreary, cold (for us) days it is nice to see the sun.

So, what am I going to do today to celebrate the sun?

I'm going to sneak a quick walk into the village and perhaps have some ice cream!

I'm working on a baby blanket. It's a little different in that the edge is made first

(the granny squares) and then the body is crocheted (easy, peasy chain and single crochet).

I like the pattern and think it would be a good stash buster lapghan.

I've started reading Prayer of the Dragon by Eliot Patison.

This series set in Tibet is one of my favorites.

I've been saving two books in the series waiting (and hoping) for another in the series.

YES!

There is another! 

I've been looking around the house (closet searching)

for decorations for Valentine's Day. 

The snowmen from Christmas are still out.

It is still winter!

But, I did come across my "Box of Kisses" published by Chronicle.

40 reproduction vintage postcards that are perfect for Valentine's Day.

He looks like a very happy fellow!

I love the fashions on these cards.

Look at the gloves and beaded bag!

Thank you to the lovely Beth for hosting Postcard Friendship Friday.

Wishing you well, much joy and a little sunshine!

Good Morning!

 

Notecard Party!

Oh my.

Decisions, decisions!

It's time for one of my favorite Blog Land Parties:
Vee's Notecard Party.

We need to pick 4 photos that have been shown previously on our blog
that we think would make good notecards.

I looked and looked.
Finally, I decided to pick some ICADs (Index Card A Day) I made during the summer.
Perhaps I'm looking for warmer days?
(Shock! Remind me of this comment in UGHust!)

So, I hope these, at the very least, bring a smile to your face!

 

Many thanks to Vee for hosting.

Wishing you well and much joy!

Sunlit Sunday

It is cold, rainy, dreary.
The perfect time to look at some photos from a sunnier day!
Off to one of my favorite places and the beautiful Lady Lions at the zoo!

Snooze time!

Sunlight is painting.

Wishing you well and much joy!

Camera Critters: Mina

Doesn't Mina look sweet and innocent?!!! 

She likes her *house*.

It's a good place to hide and wait for her brother and sister to pass by.

Then -- watch the fur fly!!!!!

Thank you to Misty for hosting Camera Critters.

Wishing you well and much joy!
