A Day of Crochet, Knitting and Chatting Part Two



What a fantastic day we had talking, crocheting, eating, laughing and knitting!

We had so much fun I actually forgot to take any pictures of us working on our projects!  I did, however, get Mom to take a picture of her shawl and send to me.  She did the main piece in knitting and I added a crocheted trim.  We call it her "Spiderweb" because the yarn for so delicate!

We also had a friend join us for lunch!  We had pizza and she had apples!


She is a young doe from last year that came to visit all winter.  If you look closely you can see her front right leg is held up?  She had something wrong with her leg and can't walk on it, but she made it through last winter and she even has a baby with her this year!

Here she is eating the apples we threw out for her.  Mom has this window completely decorated in glass snowflakes and icicles.  The make the loveliest tinkeling noise when you brush them!


Mom's famous popcorn balls!   One of the first times she made them she didn't add the cellophane.  She hung them from the tree on Christmas Eve and in the morning, the floor was littered with popcorn balls and the tree still had the candy canes!  After that she wrapped them up in cellophane and ties them with a pretty red ribbon!

Tea anyone?

Pretty little jewel boxes collected over the years.

A favourite elf from our childhood.   Merry Christmas everyone!

Mom's Deer

It's snowing again .... But look at the picture my Mom took today of her little "friend" in her garden. This little fellow has been hanging around her garden, or I should say what's left of her garden, since fall. He (?) has a sore leg that keeps him very close to the house...where the feeding is good I guess. My parents house is surrounded on all sides by woods, but I guess the garden plants just taste better!

After the Storm

The storm has ended and look who came out for some breakfast at my parents place! There were at least two more deer on each side of the picture.
Right now Mom likes them, but when spring comes and all her roses, hedges and what not's are chewed, she my think differently! For now we consider them Nature's Gift. Photos by Mom!
