A Newsy Little Post #3

Hi Readers!
First of all, I changed the background. :) PLEASE, if you have my pink button on your blog, could you switch it to my new one that matches this background? Thanks!
Yes, I know, it's not technically 'Spring' yet, but....
I have daffodils blooming in my yard.

I felt so overjoyed to see their sunny faces pop up outside our house. :) Don't you just love spring? Who doesn't like feeling the earth awaken and the warm breezes and seeing the grass turn green and hear the birds singing? :)

But while I spin these airy fancies about spring, the fact remains that it is February. So, to help combat the slight chill still in the air, I have my...

Leggings! These soft, fuzzy leggings were not always leggings. They were once the sleeves of a cashmere sweater that we found at Goodwill. (while on vacation in Michigan, actually.) Mama separated the sleeves from the sweater and added blanket-stitching around the 'bottom', and yarn through the top that you can tie. (To prevent the leggings from falling down) And we had leggings!

Modeled by me. :) The shoes are from Wal-mart, just about the only place to shop in my teeny town besides the Home Depot. :P

Hoping for Spring,



I'm currently: Working. :)

  6. I can't wait for Spring Julia!! That is when the fun begins:) The animals all give birth (!), the flowers start to bloom, and the weather warms up!!!!! Right now, in the cold, I stand by our wood stove a lot...I do school there and everything~

  7. Very cool! I don't have any of those, but I am constantly wearing my mothers old leg warmers from when she took/taught ballet in highschool. They are so warm and practical, it is a shame they don't make them like they used to. Mine are felted wool.

    I think I'll swing by a thrift store to grab a sweater and try to make my own! Thanks for the great idea.
