After "day two"






After "day one" progress





For fun I decided to participate in a dishcloth KAL on Ravelry. It started on Wen - but I didn't get a chance to look at it until yesterday. After the kiddos went to bed, I copied down the 2 days worth of the instructions that had been posted and went to work. The yarn that I am working with is a eco cotton in off white. Here are some pictures to show my progress.

Well - we woke up this morning to - SURPRISE!! MORE SNOW! Bob estimates at least another 8 inches of the white fluffy stuff! The kids were let out of school early. There is no way we will be making it to church this evening. I am off to find a project for the kids and I to work on!

Here are some more pictures! The one at the top is Brianna standing by the Bunny Barn!




Just wanted to share a couple of photos from the Christmas Blizzard that we had. We got over 26 inches of snow and it blew for 2 days before we were able to get out. It took the next 2 days to dig our way out completely and now we are suppost to get another 8 to 10 inches starting tonight into tomorrow! Oh - the joys of living in North Dakota!


Happy New Year! I can't believe that it is 2010 already! This past year seemed in some ways to just fly by and in others to really drag on! But we are all here - alive and well in this new year and I personally am very thankful to put 2009 behind me!

Moving on - one of the things in this new year that I would like to do is to make a comitment to be a faithful blogger. I would like for my students as well as past students and friends to be able to come here and see what is going on in the fiber studio, any upcoming events or shows that I will be doing and personally to see what is going on in the Olson family. I don't guarntee that I will be posting daily - but at least a couple of times a week!
