Hunkering down in the snowstorm

Alright, so it's not really a snowstorm, but living in Albuquerque, any snow is reason to light a fire, make some hot chocolate (or pour a glass of red wine), and do something Laura Ingalls Wilder-esque.....like knitting! I'm getting close to finishing my Slouchy Cardigan from http://knitcafe.com/boutique_knitcafebook.html - just have the sleeves left, after putting this project down to knit socks for my girls. (Heather and I are having a mock "contest" to see who can finish our cardigan first....it's just a joke, right Heather?!? Even though I'm going to finish first!!!)

Have you been to the store lately? We got in a shipment of books - gorgeous, get-your-creative-juices-flowing books, and beautiful notecards and journals. Also still there - handmade knitted sweaters, hats, scarves, gloves, and more - Dagmar's "Sheep on a Spring" creations, still lingering from our craft show this past weekend....she'll come by and pick everything up this week, but in the meantime, it's there, for sale!

Tomorrow we hope for a school delay - my oldest turns 11, and we want to celebrate with a leisurely morning of sugar-cereal eating and opening presents!

Happy Snow Day, everyone!
