Since Christmas, the snow has blanketed most of the United States and it was reported on the news last week that it was in 49 out of 50 States - sorry Florida! Really, you were the lucky State!

Most of us have cabin fever and are sick of snow. I'm not as bothered by it because I'm still housebound. I can only walk around the house until my feet are healed. Refrigerator to stove to recliner (gained a few pounds!). Now I'm on a crochet/knit diet. Lots of fiber and drinking lots of water. Fiber being wool/cotton and after every round or a few rows- I take a big swig of water!! No snacking when you are working with your hook or needles. Gotta keep things neat and clean. I feel centered when I have my hands busy. Handcrafts put my life into perspective, I know what matters most. Finding peace while my feet heal...

| I can wear shoes again, yipeee! |
 |
| Reading a good book while learning to knit! |
 |
| Hobby Lobby's "I Love This Wool |
I've been learning to knit using #10 needles and bulky yarn from KnitPicks, figured I could felt it afterwards and make a handbag!
My daughter gave me LION BRAND'S THICK AND QUICK wool blend.yarn for Christmas. It was really quick and easy to make,this afghan, took me only 2 days. Very warm and soft to snuggle under when the wind is howling outside!
