Happy Easter!

The dyeing of the eggs.......

Along with the dyeing of the snow...

Finding
the basket....

lookie eggs!

Nana's

here!

Playing
outside in the snow.

the yarns being dyed with the leftover egg dye.
(read up on how to do this. leave yarn for several minutes or overnight. Until dye is exhausted- kind of like kool aid.)

Tuesdays strange stuff

Knitting: did another row on Bumpkin's sweater. And two more on DH's scarf.

Another long day at work... again night supervisor. I have to be careful on how I move/twist my upper body as one of my ribs likes to roll. Well I have done just that- twisted in the wrong way and now my rib is very painful. I taught water aerobics like that too. Maybe tonight it will go back the way it is supposed to be.

The book "Saxons, Vikings and Celts: The Genetic Roots of Britain and Ireland, by Bryan Sykes" is extremely interesting. I could easily just sit and read that for quite awhile.

Strange Stuff: Now what to make w/that root beer and carrots. Seriously I kid you not! And because I like links with pictures this one seems appropriate for today... a doorstopper.


ETA: Link to the book "Saxons,Vikings and Celts".

Weekly yard picture and Saturday Sky

Saturday Sky.
Before the sun came out.

And the weekly yard picture.
Still lots of snow!

And the dyeing of the eggs. Princess is assisting in this project as I had to make dinner.



And this is what you do w/the egg dye when you are done dyeing the eggs. Make letters and pictures in the snow.
















Knitting: Cast on for Bumpkins Cardigan am 10 rows into it. Turned the heel on DM's sock and am now ready for the gussets. Princess has requested that I not make her a shawl but instead make her a cozy for her ipod touch. She also asked me to teach her how to knit. She knit 3 rows pretty good for a start.

Went to a 3 yr olds birthday party. What a blast that was.. but now I am waiting to see if all the sugar that Bumpkins consumed is going to have ill effects tonight. Have a bucket handy just in case. It is going to be a LONG night.

Uh oh... I organized and have put the Easter stuff in a safe place. And here it is 1:30 at night (on Saturday night or is it Sunday morning) and the Easter Baskets still aren't made. They will get done in the morning. I did put the corned beef onto cook though. Hope that it cooks ok.
