Wordless Wednesday, He came back!

Snow

Saturday it started to snow!

Steadily, the snow fell.

 

 Cheering up everyone!

 

Come Sunday, a wee wren had come into the house, seeking warmth.  I took some pictures before I let him fly back out through the window.  I didn't have the heart to keep him long enough to sketch him, he looked so desperate for freedom.

Horses

Frisky,

Majestic, peaceful.

You take my breath away!

First Yarn Along

Ginny at Small Things is hosting a Yarn Along.  Since knitting and reading are my two favorite pastimes, I wanted to join in the fun of showing what I am currently working on.  Ivy is a Hooligan who is part of a trio of friendly monsters.  I am using Knit Picks Stroll Tonal Sock Yarn in Springtime and Gypsy with Bare Stroll Fingering.  These mischief makers are really ornaments, but I decided to use them as stocking stuffer for my younger boys.  I think they will make cute little pocket pals during the holidays.

This advent I am reading Donkey Bells, Advent and Christmas Stories, Traditions and Meditations from Catherine Doherty foundress of Madonna House Apostolate, as well as A Child in Winter, Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany with Caryll Houselander.  Both are are wonderful!  Tomie DePaola's Country Angels Christmas is part of this week large stack of Christmas books we are enjoying as read aloud.  I am having so much fun sharing these for the first time with my granddaughter Maddie.
