Since my computer caught a cold a few weeks ago, I've been having a hard time uploading photos and videos to my blog. It just has been taking a much longer time than usual, so that has kept me from keeping my blog up-to-date. So, here...in no particular order...are some of the things that I've been up to:
My dear Moo turned 11 years old this month, and I made her this little hat from a darling pattern found in a book whose title escapes me right now. It's called the "Emma Hat". I also made eight other "Hot Head" stocking caps for some of the men in our family and a few friends. I am VERY done with stocking hats right now. Oh, and with ballband dishcloths...I made three of them in three days...and I have the callous to prove it!
This was my first attempt at wood burning. I made it for some dear friends in Michigan. Along the rim of the plate, the Hebrew reads the first words of Psalm 128--ash-re kol y'-rei Adonai ha-ho-leich bid-ra-chaiv--
How blessed are all who fear Adonai, who walk in His ways. In the center of the plate is an olive branch.
This is my hubby and friend from Michigan, David Olson. I had just taken a picture in which my husband appeared to be sneering (he can't help it...that's just how he smiles for pictures...argh). When David heard that, he decided to sneer as well. His on-purpose sneer is nothing like my husband's accidental sneer. :)
The Olson tribe--Heidi, Benjamin, Moo & Belle, Zechariah and Jonathon. We had a great visit during the last days of the Festival of Lights--so thankful that we can celebrate while understanding who the Light of the World really is during this cold and dark time of year.
My husband's famous challah bread...this stuff makes all our friends and family swoon!
I had to include this precious picture of my littlest nephew, Roan...affectionately called Roanie, or Macaroni. He is the sweetest and best natured little guy you'd ever want to meet. Love him!
