Snow Day!
The snow was really beautiful falling all day long yesterday. We ended up with about 9" here at the lake. Some cities to the North around the Metro area received as much as 12 to 13". According to the news channel yesterday, this is the largest snowfall recorded in one day for the Dallas/Ft. Worth area since they have been keeping recorded data (over 111 years worth). A lot of people were without electricity by the end of the day, but we were lucky and didn't lose power. I also managed to get an extra day off since the power was out today at the building where I work. As you can see above, my grandson enjoyed his day out of school building a snowman with a heart! I made it to a Michael's store and bought some Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick and plan to try to make another "Fourteen" neck warmer (a little longer this time).
I Love to crochet, knit, sew and read. I live on a lake with my husband and our four dogs and two cats. I have a Son and a Daughter, 4 Grandsons, and am a Breast Cancer Survivor of 15 years.
The pattern for the Chicken Potholder pictured above can be found in a booklet called "The Ultimate Book of Potholders", issued by Annie's Attic. I recently found a free pattern online, here, that is very similar.
