It is so pink that I needed a break from it and have returned to it with new interest - adding white rabbits (from another chart). It will not be finished and framed in time for Easter. Never Mind. <br />Karen A.Karen Andreolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135239838790568639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128498700399100940.post-26942932179631507192012-03-02T12:35:17.953-05:002012-03-02T12:35:17.953-05:00Coffee under the candle seems like the perfect cro...Coffee under the candle seems like the perfect crossover from snowmen to daffodils!

I've had to stay off the computer because my life became quite hectic so all free time had to go to my family. I have missed your thoughtful words. <br /><br />I, too, have been focusing on simple pleasures - and enjoying all the warm weather. Love the yarn you chose for the hat. A hat is the perfect end of winter knit - quick and satisfying.Larissahttp://stitchesinplay.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128498700399100940.post-58732361737288910352012-02-24T15:04:08.373-05:002012-02-24T15:04:08.373-05:00The simple pleasures really are the best.

Your cross-stitch project looks so inviting, I might start one of my own!<br /><br />Here in Aberdeen I'm enjoying the fact that it's light at 7 am and 5 pm (!such a rush!), healthy food, jigsaw puzzles, the fire, knitting, good friends and neighbours. So much to be thankful for.<br /><br />Oh and the crocuses that were absolutely singing in the sunshine today.Christine Laennechttp://www.christinelaennec.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128498700399100940.post-90120912781263564332012-02-24T09:29:36.941-05:002012-02-24T09:29:36.941-05:00Hi, Lisa!

And that's what I've been doing too, as I've had a touch of the winter blues here, so it's the little things that do mean a lot. LOVE your coffee beans idea--very fun, and fragrant too, I imagine! Lovely your return to cross stitch. I used to do a lot of that years ago--should revisit sometime. Love the cross stitch featured in your banner too. Beautiful yarn on new project you're starting. I just found out a friend has cancer, so knitting her a shawl for her upcoming chemo treats...*sigh*...It is the little things!

We have had to return a few due to them not working. Having the original packaging comes in handy.<br /><br />Your candle cover in your last post does look very cozy!<br /><br />Blessings to you for a happy day!<br /><br />xoxo...GloriaGloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423246756894055585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128498700399100940.post-56099966455453051182012-02-23T14:54:25.136-05:002012-02-23T14:54:25.136-05:00I've been enjoying your blog for awhile...litt...I've been enjoying your blog for awhile...little did I know we shared a similar school.

I'm not convinced winter is over. We're to get 2-5" of snow tonight/tomorrow. I've had the cross-stitching buy here as well. Actually pulled the supplies to make this for you for Christmas!!!! Guess that's out! So thankful for all the wonderful memories that coming rushing back when GCC is mentioned. xoxoKristyn Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00023484055988696554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128498700399100940.post-63572843827915642082012-02-23T09:20:19.585-05:002012-02-23T09:20:19.585-05:00Looks like fun at your house My lenten rose is blo...Looks like fun at your house My lenten rose is blooming too.

I am going to use your coffee bean idea, too. I just bought a candle holder thing and coffee beans are just the right color for what I needed and much nicer than pebbles which are the only idea that had crossed my mind thus far. Coffee beans are much less aquarian than the pebbles. =DLeslie https://www.blogger.com/profile/11216448707277968516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128498700399100940.post-82169185638378073052012-02-22T22:00:32.844-05:002012-02-22T22:00:32.844-05:00I'm in western West Virginia.

I've got a sampler that's been on my lap easle for a least a year. <br /><br />I really like the yarn you show for the hat.
