New Toy

Ok so I bought the kitties their Christmas present today but couldn't wait till Christmas to give it to them. They just LOVE it. Antrim was trying to figure out why Charlie was just batting the ball in circles. He eventually got up and some how got the ball out and walked away with it. After I rescued it and put it back Nacho left frustrated as Charlie would not share and let her have a turn. Hopefully it will keep Charlie busy for hours as he is sooooo bored with not going out due to the cold weather.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Have a safe and happy holiday everyone.

Gift Certificates

Don't know what to get for that special someone for Christmas or just need a little extra gift for the stocking???? Why not give a gift certificate for a manicure or pedicure at Antrimlea.

Nacho

It's a tough life at Antrimlea when you get a snow day. The woodstove goes on, coffee is made and the spinning wheel goes. Here is my Nacho trying to relax in front of the woodstove. I think she is really enjoying this day.......LOL...

Just another sunset

Here is another wonderful sunset that I get to see out my kitchen window.

My Charlie Boy

My poor Charlie just won't give up waiting for a fine feathered friend to come by and "play" with him......

YIPPI!!!

Ok Folks
Today I finally finished hooking my rug that I have been working on the past year of Monday afternoons in Campbellford. Now I just have to do the whipping around the edges which will probably take up the next 4 Monday afternoons.....LOL...
Oh what will I hook next???

Attempt at Lace Knitting

Well this is the 2nd kick at the can..... I bought this lace shawl kit 4 years ago. Two years ago I attempted to knit it and made a mistake after knitting quite a bit of it. I was frustrated with it and tore it out where it sat for the last 2 years waiting to be started again. I took it to Bridgewater Retreat in the hopes to maybe start it again. Well with the encouragement from my friends I have started it again. I have since learned about placing "life lines" every couple of rows in case you need to rip it out to fix boo boo's. Here is my progress so far and I will keep you posted . Don't hold your breath for any quick progress as Life gets in the way and I should be working on my OHS spinning homework,,,,

Bridgewater Retreat

This past weekend 10 of us stayed at Bridgewater Retreat for a relaxing weekend. Spinning , knitting, reading, winding warps for weaving, card playing, and dying wool were among the activities. No subject in conversation was untouched and lots of laughter was had... Joan and I are addicted to playing Skipbo cards so a few games were in order in between spinning. At great time was had by all and we plan to do it again next year. Want to join us??
