snow and ice and everything nice























I love snow! And having Brett home and projects being completed and baking yummy warming foods and watching chickens try to navigate on ice and knitting adorable baby sweaters and sledding and reading Winnie the Pooh while wrapped in "snuggle blankies". 

So I really enjoyed being iced into our cozy house last week. We didn't lost power and I didn't go into labor, both of which made the time much more enjoyable. I took some videos of Brett "sledding" with the children on a piece of plastic roofing, but somehow they aren't in my phone now. Sad=( I thought Evelyn might be a little unsure, but no she laughed the whole way down!! She is not often scared. 


Knitting on Emma's little sweater is coming along. I've made a couple mistakes and feel that if I knit this pattern again, I could do it much better next time. It is an adorable little cardigan, so I may indeed knit it again. I can think of a couple coming babies who could use a little sweater!! The pattern is Baby Vertebrae, which is free on ravelry, and yarn is Madeline Tosh sock yarn, colorway Opaline. The lighting in that picture is terrible and the color is actually much darker pink/purple. I'll try to get some accurate pictures when it's all finished. 

We also finished painting Evelyn's room...grey of course...and hung some little bookshelves in Nate's room. I did some cleaning and freezer cooking too! Almost all of the projects on my "to do be Emma come list" are completed!! You are welcome to come any time little girl!
