It Is About Time

Oh, yes! It is all about 

TIME

And it is about time I got back to blogging. .. 

I have been MIA (missing in action)

January was a crazy month. . too much for me.

But I am back!

We have had a long hard winter, I know it isn't over yet.

But today 

There was actually 

BLUE SKY!

We are still covered in SNOW

 

But I can see the BLUE SKY

It has been over a month since I could see the sky.

The snowstorms, the fog, the inversion. . .

Must I go on?

So while I have been overcome with winter depression

I have been making things. . 

Here is just a little showing of what I have been doing.

Hello FEBRUARY

You will have to come back 

To see what I have been up to.

No Place Like HOME

Well, I hope all of you that are living in the

Deep Freeze are staying Warm!

I am right in the heart of the Freeze. . 

Utah is in the low teens for the high

And the minus for the low.

It is COLD!

I am so thankful for the things that keep me warm. .

No matter where you go or what you are experiencing 

There Is No Place Like 

HOME!

I have been under the weather for the past week

And when I don't feel good, I just want to be

HOME.

 The shelf in the living room has a new look.

 A couple of my glass electrical insulator are nestled in the berry branch

 If you know my Family, you would know 

This Subway sign fits us perfect

When I saw the word

LOUD, I knew it was for my family!

 The coziness of the room is comforting to me.

Isn't it amazing how the sun can shine

But it is so cold outside, you don't feel it's warmth?

One of my favorite time of day is

When the sun shines through the blinds and makes

The shadow on the wall.

Do you have a time of day when the sun comes

Through your windows and makes the room 

Bright and yet cozy?

Snuggle in for a long winter. . and be sure to

Come on back. . . K

Happy Crocheting

Oh, this is the time I love to crochet!

It is cold outside, but warm 

Inside my home.

Time to do some serious crocheting. . 

I have wanted to make some of these scarves

But, I didn't know how. . hmmm!

Off to the internet, and I soon fund how to make them

Easy as could be.

The granddaughters love them, and so do I

I make several in an evening watching my favorite

T.V shows. . 

A crocheter always tries to find a way to cover

Anything with yarn. . 

Well, I have been covering hangers with yarn for years.

I love these hangers. . .my closet is full of them

My clothes never slip off the hanger, and I don't

Get those "shoulder bumps" on my knit shirts.

These are so easy to make. . Easy Peasy

What, oh what to do about a wreath this time of year?

Well, this is what I came up with.

 Again something so simple. . and yet so cute.

Problem is I don't want to put it on the outside of the door

Not quite yet. . it is snowy here in Utah.

So it hangs on the inside of my door.

Well as you can see my hands have been busy

Can I just say I am so grateful my Grandma 

Taught me how to crochet when I was young

It has been a blessing to have this creative art

I enjoy crocheting, it relaxes me and 

I am able to share my craft with others.

Well, I am off to make more scarves, they will make

Perfect gifts for friends and family

And of course the hangers are always needed

I intend to make another crochet wreath.

Be sure to check back again to see what I am up to next.

Hugs to all.

The Charm of Home

January

Ah the splendid beauty of 

January

Is seems to be colorless outside, 

Just the Winter White

But on the inside of my home

I like to bring color and a few snowmen

To revive the spirit of my home after

the colorful decorations of December.

Of course my precious hutch gets the focus of my attention.

 Snowmen and colorful snow flake plates.

 My precious hutch not only is fun to decorate,

But it also adds so much coziness and warmth 

To my kitchen area.

I continue to keep my snowmen on display until 

Later in January

Usually after my son's birthday. . 

The small Jim Shore collection I have 

Has brought so much delight to me

And brightened my home decor.

I try to buy a new Jim Shore snowman each year.

I have quite a few little snowmen 

And snowmen salt and pepper shakers

They are sitting about in various places during January.

I can't wait to show you what I have been working 

On lately. . .the cold nights of January are 

A great time to snuggle in, watch t.v

And CROCHET.

Be sure to stop by again.

I love seeing that you have visited and

I would also love to hear from you.

Stay warm and enjoy this time of the year!

These are a few of the words 

I use to describe Winter

White

Cold

Bright

Frosty

Crisp

Chill

The earth is resting before her 

Colorful Extravaganza begins!

Thrifty Finds For The New Year

Well hello 2013

That seems different. . a 13 for the year!

Oh well, onward it is on the path of time.

To begin the new year I want to show

You some thrifty finds.

On December 31, I found these little treasures

At my local DI (Deseret Industries)

Thrill, thrill. . !

First look at this adorable

Santa Tea Pot!
($1.00)

Won't he be cute next year on my hutch?

Funny thing. . .I have the matching salt and pepper shakers.

I saw these Pfalzgraff plates ($1.00) a week ago at the DI

And I thought "I don't need anymore plates"

Hmmm....the more I thought about them

The more I thought how nice they would

Look in my hutch.

Nothing lasts at the thrift store. . if you don't get

It when you first see it . . it will be gone when you go back.

Taking my chances, and a little prayer. . 

They were there when I went on Monday

I have the matching serving bowl. . 

And this little Fire King bowl, with handle, for 50 cents.

I couldn't pass up, it is for a friend.

So there you have it my Thrifty Finds to start the new year.

How about you. . .are you a Thrifty Finder?

And what treasures have you found lately.

Be sure to visit again!
