My sister is coming tomorrow so I had to shore up the guest room. We hadn't moved the beds (from when Jenny's family stayed with us for several weeks) and we had to huff and puff, heave and ho to get things put to rights. I am not sure what happened to the roller blind that was in the window so I made a curtain out of an old sheet. I'm proud of myself. It's pretty, isn't it?
There is snow on the ground today, but spring has arrived. The skies have been incredible.
Most of the time when guests are coming I get my rear in gear, but sometimes I get a little too scattered, making impossible to do lists and trying to do things I should have done instead of sitting around knitting all winter. I did load up two crates of books for the Ft. Collins grands. Yay.
Jenny's family had a lovely vacation. Look at Samantha running on the sand!
Our daughter in law April went to the Interweave Yarn Festival with me. We bought tickets for the market place. We didn't take classes. I liked seeing all of the gorgeous fibers and I was encouraged to see many ladies my age. I have felt like the knitting world is full of youngsters (a good thing!) so I liked seeing my own tribe of knitters at the fest.
The little Johnny Jump Ups are the only flowers appearing in the garden.
Sunset a few nights ago
My Bible study small group members are making prayer beads for the annual art show (culminating the end of the year long study). The beads below are my friend's creation. SO pretty, right?
Jenny and I went to the bead section at the big crafty store yesterday so I could buy beads for my prayer BRACELET (I already have a circle of beads) and I realized that I know nothing about jewelry making. Here's what I chose. Woodsy.
I'm skipping Bible study today so I can spend the morning with our Kelli. We're going to go get massages later. I hope I get a nice masseuse. The last one I had was kind of lazy and had a pretty low energy technique. Picky me.
Speaking of Kelli. They have added this character to their animal menagerie. So far her name is Bawn! Bawn! Kelli morphs her animals' names anyway so I'm betting that Bawn! Bawn! it is. She's cute, isn't she? Yes, she's an indoor girl.
I've said this before but I have moved my computer downstairs because I don't like sitting in the office chair in my study. The angle is wrong for lap top usage. I aim to keep more abreast of my blogs now. If you blog every day, I read your posts but I haven't been commenting every day.
I must get back to my work, dusting and vacuuming, scrubbing and polishing.
God be with you, sweet reader.
