What could be better than a beautiful snowy morning except......

 

a big yarn sale plus a 20% off coupon !!  More snow means more crochet time!!! Bring it on!!!

John Deere Combine Card

 

Couldn't let Rick's birthday go by without making him a crochet card, too. 

It wouldn't be winter without.....

A Winter Snowbuddy!!!

 

 

He's made from the same pattern as the stacked pumpkins from last fall

 

 

He's got a light string inside, too

 

He's got a pipe....



and little short arms....

and a snowflake on his hat!! 

Perfect winter decoration!! 

Let it snow......



Pennsylvania Farm Show

We made our yearly trip to the Pennsylvania Farm Show yesterday. 

 

 

The building is so pretty....

 

 

Someone does a great job on the butter sculpture

 

 

They have the nicest display of a farm in the one building.

 

This year they had an old combine "cutting" beans...

 

and a new one "shelling" corn

 

They actually have growing plants in the display!!

 

and make it look just like they are harvesting them. 

 

This old combine was from Gladhill's in Frederick. 

 

They have plants in all growing stages.

 

They even had the stubble just like a field would have. 

 

 

Then it was time for day dreaming.....

 

 

Rick checked out the price sticker on this tractor.....

 

 

Don't think it's going to be in the budget anytime soon..... Come on Lottery!!!

 

There wasn't much ice on the river this year.  Mostly in the middle of the river. 

 

Very nice day......

 

 



Another Crochet Card

 

Since I never got around to making  Barb a crochet birthday card of her two favorite Boxers I did it for Christmas.  She was very tickled with her card!!! 

Merry Crochet Christmas!!

 

Some new and some older crochet Christmas or winter crafts.  The Frosty Friends lighted snowman I made last winter and also the ornament.  The candy dish and the trees just recently were made.  The runner is  design from a few years ago.  Have a few more thoughts in mind for decorating the trees but in all I'm happy with the patterns. 

 

Happy Holidays everyone!!! 

Endless Diamonds Shawl

 Happily Hooked Magazine, Issue #9, December 2014

The latest edition of Happily Hooked Magazine went online yesterday.  Sooooo many beautiful and cute designs!! I was especially happy to have my Endless Diamonds Shawl included in this issue.

 

This time I was behind Barb's camera and she did the modeling for me... And did an excellent job of it!!

This shawl also would make a great table runner pattern as well.
