vegetable dying

Aren't they pretty? Rebecca is doing her 4h visual presentation this year on vegetable dying. She did these with beets, red cabbage, charcoal, tea, and tumeric.

Sophie's half birthday

It's snowing here again. I love snow! I've been cross country skiing up a storm.

noro scarf

Inspired by the Yarn Harlot and just about everyone else in blogville who seems to have knitted a noro scarf in November, I ordered the yarn from WEBS and made one up for my mom.

I kept interrupting the kids to show them the way the "colors look now". In the beginning they were able to feign interest, but after awhile it wore a bit thin for them.

. . . but look at the way the colors look now!

it's hard to eat when . . . .
