winter day projects..

It's been a busy winter, and really - I can't believe how quickly it's going by.... spring is just around the corner... (along with baby Reagan!!!) I am outside as much as possible.. sleighing as much as possible., but there are those bitter cold days, where, you almost can't be outside. And then I turn to indoor projects, of which there are many to choose from!!!
I've been "playing" around with knitting for a while now. Don't know that I am all that great at it, but there are a few projects I have done and have been very pleased with. I made this little hat (Abbie's baby doll is playing model for me).. I love the little sheep that it has on it...
And it's one of my gifts to Reagan. This is some of that beautiful wool that I got at the Common Ground Fair last fall. Abbie really liked it, so I have a raspberry color that I want to do for her. I also made a counted cross stitch blanket for Reagan, but somehow I never got a picture of that... 
I have a couple of quilt tops that need to be finished, and an endless number of cross stitch "kits" that can be broken into... there's always something to keep me entertained....
Sadie's boyfriend, Jesse, is "in love" with our big wood furnace. As I was heading out one morning, I caught this photo of him.... pipe, coffee, and minding the stove... is this "New England" or what???
And Abbie and Tatter were playing "dress up" one cold winter morning... are they quite the pair. If it isn't Rylie that is in "some outfit", it's Tatter... though they both seem to always enjoy the attention!!!! (btw, the scarf that Tatter is wearing is another one of my creations!!!)

So, winter plods along.. here on the farm...
