Keeping Busy

 Keeping busy this winter has not been difficult for me.

I have way too many hobbies, and I don't mind being at home crafting.

I have been coloring a lot recently, something I have not done since last year.

This book was gifted to me by my friend Liz...

Nature's Inspiration

The Hydrangeas colored are my favorite so far...

I am almost finished with the birds.

I tried to color the birds to look like the birds I see at my feeders.

I only color during the day, when the house is lighter.

I am also working on my 3rd blanket.

This is a blanket kit for beginners, and although I have been knitting for 10 + years,

I find these kits fun and inspiring.

The kit from Sierra Yarn includes everything you need to make the blanket.

All of the yarn, the circular needle, the pattern and a tag for the finished product.
It is their Dream Cloud Blanket in light blue/ivory.

The yarn is 60% Baby Alpaca and 40% Pima Cotton, it is as soft as a cloud.

I work on my blanket at night, I am able to knit on the blanet

and watch t.v. at the same time!

Watching "Older" Movies

 When I was under the weather, (I'm all better now), I was in search of good Romance Movies to watch.

I watched 3 excellent movies, that I had already seen and I enjoyed watching them.

 I enjoyed both movies more, the second time around.

The first really good movie I watched was...

- P.S. I Love You -

If you decide to watch it, be sure to have a full box of tissues with you,  you will need them.

Both Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler were excellent in this love story.

Without giving too much away, a wife finds out husband is dying.

The young widow discovers that her late husband left 10 messages for her before he died.

Very cute, romantic and just so sweet.

The second great movie, I watched was

- A Little Bit Of Heaven -

A romantic comedy about a free spirited woman who learns she has terminal cancer,

 and falls in love (head over heels) with her doctor.

The last of my favorites was...

- Look Both Ways -

This Netflix romantic comedy is about a young woman whose life splits into two parallel timelines 

on the night of college graduation.

 - one where she gets pregnant and stays in her home town and raises the baby -

the other where she does not get pregnant, moves to L.A. to pursue her dream as an animator.

The movie shows both outcomes back and forth so you have to pay attention.

It is not a good "knitting" movie.

Two other favorites that I did not watch because you have to pay for them now,

- Five Feet Apart -

- The Fault In Our Stars -

Another all time favorite is

- The Notebook -
