I have enjoyed browsing your blog and catching up. This post intrigues me, nice story! I love the idea of Rylan's school having the community dinner!

I hope things are going well with you and your family! We are fine, going to see grandson Caden next week.

Thanks for the compliment!

Hi La Donna,
I am so excited to find you again. I have added you to my side bar so I don't lose you again. I have been thinking about you. I posted about you today with a picture of one of the tea towels you made me. :)
Hugs,
Elizabeth

Love your latte colored candles. What a good idea. I have a whole bag of leftover candle wax, I think I should do this. Love your crochet pieces too. Just think the crochet pieces would look beautiful in a throw. Right now I have glass projects going on here on my craft table.

Lovely walk. I have been thinking how winter has the monochromatic look about it. I would like to go walking and look for sightings of color in the monochromatic world right now. Today I found yellow in my yard and my heart sang with joy.

Love when the blackbird sings, as it gives it's own sort of color.

I've been learning filet crochet. I've made a square with a cherry design that can be backed and turned into a pretty hot pad. I'm working on a scene with two chickens, requested by my son. (He loves his chickens.) What are you doing with the granny squares in your photo? I have decided that I like to crochet much better then knitting. I somehow have more control over the crochet hook.

So nice to see your crochet work. I am still working on a baby granny stripe and have started some granny squares as they are so easy to work up. right now it is time to hit the hay. Have a great rest of the day. Tammy

Tackling new sewing projects, and I'm considering learning to knit! I also do a lot of reading and journaling.

I've been completely unmotivated and bored of late. Sigh.

Such a winter walk with you! Thanks for sharing. It has been so sunny, but windy here in OR...seems like SPRING is close at hand.

That is gorgeous!

I just showed on my blog the one my daughter made for Christmas gifts, showing pictures from our Williamsburg vacation.

Wonderful thoughts! I have a friend like this. Love the embroidery.

I love your calendar. I think I'd start one with photos of my grandkids!

Ah, we have blue skies and sunshine for a few days! Time for a morning walk. Better hurry before morning is over!

For Christmas I did two themes. I did a roses them and a bouquet theme and created calendars for gifts. I am amzed how easy they are to put together online. I love your tea idea.

2012-02-04T07:26:41.636-08:00

A walk on any day is a good thing. No sunshine on your side of the mountains? I'm headed out for a walk this morning...the first in Washington after a very long time.
Have a wonderful weekend...

Hi La Tea Dah....Your post makes me want to go out and walk! Lovely. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a nice Saturday. Susan

I always remind myself that winters monochrome is the prelude to a burst of spring color. There certainly is beauty in the stillness of winter.

Darling embroidery...I remember doing one myself, though it didn't have the cheery tulips. Do you remember our days of Hospitali-tea? I do with great fondness.

2012-02-04T06:11:58.008-08:00

Ours is very white so we're seeing the huge contrasts. I do love the story that a mosaic tells. I could happily create an entire room using this color palette, if I could have some red...was that robin's breast red?

2012-02-04T01:45:29.390-08:00

I keep saying I will clean up all the pictures I have stored as I will never use them and they are just there taking up space. From this side of the world, I would never attempt to order anything that needed to be mailed. Costs way too much and might never, ever make it here. I've thought about using an old calendar to create a scrapbook. So I keep storing them away for that one day when inspiration strikes. :) Have a great day. Tammy

2012-02-03T18:00:13.611-08:00

Is this a test? =) I really don't remember what I said the first time around, but I do like this idea a lot and would like to try it very much. It would be a challenge for me to stick to a theme. Have you seen my blog lately? All over the map.

We were given a calendar like this as a gift at Christmas. It had nature photos. I have thought of doing one with travel photos, tea photos, or special people/family photos. Maybe next year.

I've often thought of doing up a calendar, and having seen yours I think I'm more likely!

Beautiful sentiment!
