Good-Bye 2012! Hello 2013!!

At the bottom of our street, just a few houses down, there is an awesome sledding hill that the neighbors encourage us to use. On our last day of 2012, we got up and ate a huge breakfast of eggs, bacon and biscuits, then suited up and headed out for a morning of sledding!

As it got colder, the Viking showed up.

I sent my attack-girls after the Viking.

And at the end of our last trip down the hill, the girls made snow angels.

We went home, had some hot chocolate and took naps!

Before the end of 2012, I did manage to try my hand at a new fiber art: weaving. Here's my loom warped with the beginnings of a scarf! More on my weaving adventures later . . .

New Year's Day was filled with laziness and a trip to the mill; a perfect way to start the new year!

Happy New Year!

So, I think, like all other bloggers out there, my New Year's resolution is to be better about consistant blogging! OK, so I can't be too hard on myself. I really fell off the wagon during Christmas, and it is a really busy time of year: between activities, shopping and it being peak sales time, I just couldn't get to it. Maybe next year I should have some stock stories saved up to publish!

But it's a new year! And I'm kicking it off strong! I have an FO (finished object) to share:

Kat's Hat!!I was tying on pom poms on the way to our Christmas dinner party. She got to show it off to the whole family. To recap: I participated in The Critter Ranch's birthstone spin-a-long, and got a tourmaline batt; I spun up the yarn, knit the hat, and got a great picture of Kat!

Be looking for a Kat's Hat worksheet in the shop to make your own in any gauge for any size!

I have quite a few busy customers that have been kind enough to send along pictures of their FOs, so throughout this week, I'll be highlighting them and their work!

And here's a gratuitous shot of my kids on Christmas Eve at church. Kat NEVER sits still long enough for a good shot, so this is a rare and elusive photo.

Love to hear how adorable you think Kat is in her hat, or how cute the kiddos are! ;) (yup, shamelessly looking for comments!)
