What to do??

So it's a snowy day so what do you do??? Stay at home and get creative!!!! I was busy dying some corriedale rovings. These hanks are measured out in 300 gram skeins and are all unique in their colours. I am selling them for $30 each and they are going fast. What fun they are. The rovings can be spun or are strong enough just to knit. I am going to knit "slippers" and then felt them. I'll post a pic as soon as I get a pair done. One hank will make a pair.

Have you ever seen such a little sweetie.??? My grandbaby Katerra.

Snowy times in the country

Oh there is nothing like a quiet walk in the winter on a country road. Here are a couple of things you would see at my place. Then a sit by the woodstove to warm up with a nice hot cup of hot chocolate...... aahhhhh

GIFT CERTIFICATES

Do you have that special friend who you want to get a present for but just don't know what to get?? How about a gift certificate for a manicure or pedicure?? Everyone loves to be pampered and one size fits all....
