Still Snowy & Icy

Some of the Ice hanging off of our roof. It is melting this afternoon though. Hopfully we will have clear roads here realyl soon. Part of our road is still a sheet of ice. But I was able to get out today. Lucky for us, we have two entrances on our driveway. One goes to the part of the road that is still solid ice. The other entrance is mostly clear. Once I got off of our street, the roads to the store were fine.

Above are photos of my first pair of finished crocheted gloves. I found the pattern at Redheart.com

It was pretty  easy to follow. I made a few changes to them as I went along. And they are now heading to my Aunt in Michigan. :) Hopfully she likes them really well.

And here is the latest on the Ribbon afghan. I keep finding other colors to add in. So this one will end up being very colorful. For those that would like to find it. Here is the link to the pattern again. :)

Still on a Snow Break

So we are still on an extended weekend here. The snow turned to freezing rain/drizzle on Monday night. So we woke up to an icy mess on Tuesday morning.  It started to melt  during the afternoon only to refreeze overnight. It looks to be melting out there today. So maybe, just maybe the kids can go back to school tomorrow. We will just have to wait and see. I certainly hope it melts soon... I would like to get out of the house again. :)

Here is the latest update on my Ribbon afghan. I am still enjoying this one. :) So many pretty colors in it allready. And if I find some more I like, I may add to it as I go along. I decided to add a few random rows of white in there to break up the colors. As for the rest of the colors, I don't really have a set pattern as to how I add them in. Just putting them in where I think they look nice. :)

 Hope everyone is having a good week so far.

Snow Day!!!!!!

This is what I woke up to at 5:30 in the morning. Sure is beautiful outside...  But from what I hear the driving is rough. I don't need to go anywhere, so I am staying home and off the roads. The kids are out of school for today. From the sounds of the weather reports, they will be out tomorrow as well. They are saying that we will be getting some freezing drizzle later and the temps are going to drop into the teens overnight.

I took this picture around 10am this morning. As of noon we were at 6 inches of snow. And it is still snowing out. This is a huge event for us. LOL!

And of course I didn't want to leave out crochet ......... Here is an updated photo of the Ribbon Afghan I have been working on.  This afghan has been a lot of fun to work on so far.

Have a great day Everyone :)
