It’s crazy cold here. Sunny and blue skies and freezing really. The other day they were “hoping” for a high of 25 degrees. 25 people! This is Oregon not Wisconsin. Where’s our rain and gloom? I almost don’t know what to do with all the freezing weather but I gotta say the sunshine bit is pretty nice.

Luckily, our Christmas package from my sister contained an abundance of knitting. Since she lives in San Diego, I’m always kidding her about her knitting habit. I mean, really, how many hand knit scarves does one need there? All my pestering must have paid off because for Christmas she sent us all our very own knit goodies.

The girls got matching scarves, I got fingerless mittens, and Kevin got a warm and snuggly hat. He has been so thankful for this hat lately when walking the dog at night. It keeps his little ol’ head nice and toasty warm. Then the other day we got another package with a scarf Suzy had made and Kevin quickly claimed that as well. So here they are all bundled up thanks to Auntie Suzy.

Suzy also included some other little sewn treasures. One of which was a cute fabric headband that Leina loves. She finds normal headbands too tight so this nice soft fabric one is just right.

I’ve been doing a little stitching too – getting ready for Valentines. I’m making some felt hearts to hang downstairs to spread the love. Leina took one look at hers and declared she didn’t like it. She wants hers to be blue. Tough beans kiddo. Momma made yours already. No changing your order now!
