View From My Door Step

I guess winter isn't done with us as of yet.  We got some very wet heavy snow yesterday so it is a winter wonderland once again.

I've spent the week with my daughter and grandchildren so I haven't accomplished anything rug hooking related.

I took the kids to Mill River Resort in PEI and we had a good time in spite of the rain we got.

Snow, Snow, Snow

This winter, it seems the snow is never going to end.  For those who enjoy the snow, they have had a banger of a winter for it.  I just hope when March break rolls around, it is still here for the kiddos to enjoy.  I have lots of fond memories of March breaks being outside enjoying winter as a kid and as a mom.  Those March breaks when there wasn't snow, wasn't good for mom trying to keep kids busy!

I have finished up my second MTI hat.  Using yarn I...
