Holidays are over...

Well, everyone will back at school after the holidays and life returns to normal.  It was nice to spend time with family and friends, but I am spent!  We did lots of visiting and even more entertaining.  It will be difficult to get up at our regular time tomorrow, as we've been spoiled by sleeping in everyday.

The pattern can be found on the Lion Brand site.

The Cooler Weather is Upon Us...

With school starting last week, we seem to be getting back into the swing of things.  The kids are adjusting to the new school well...making new friends and both are happy with their new teachers.  My little one, has a different schedule this year (her final year of Kindergarten)...she attends every day in the afternoon.  Last year, her school district had a full day, 2 days per week schedule.  Pros and cons to both, but we are enjoying the new change of pace.

With the cooler weather last week (it has since warmed up again), I was inspired to whip up a simple cold weather scarf...especially perfect for fall.  You may remember awhile back I'd found some great organic cotton yarn on clearance...always an exciting experience.  Anyway, I went back and picked up 3 more balls in a different colour.  The result is a simple, long hdc stitch scarf with tassels on each end.  The thing I love most about this scarf is its vibrant happy colour variations:








Last week before school started, we went down the lake again...this is what we found:
