Call Me Fickle If Ya Want, 'Cause... I Love the Colour Green.....

Happy St Paddy's Day to ye all! With St. Paddy's day upon us you couldn't ask for a better day for the green. So I say, "Top of da marnin' to ye!" Too bad there's no green out the door. Just white as far as the eye can see.  That's the snow, and so it tis. Still, yesterday was the first day in ages that there was any sign of spring. The snow was melting off the roof and it actually got up to -1 degree. I am happy to say that it is sunny once again dis marnin'. The sun is  rising over the 'orizon and is cheering me, and that's for sure. Along with that I had a little leppycaun come for a visit to me header this morning and so, being polite, in the hopes that he might part with a little of his gold, I asked him to come and stay a while... but the bloody ruddy ting is sittin' there as large as life with not a sign of the gold and look at those great fearsom hands about to grab the wee bugger and nip him into a cage. I'll have the wee bugger's gold yet!

Yes I know that the "look" of my blog has once again changed... I was not happy with the cut up look of the background, and so, decided to simplify. These pooffy things to the left and the right,  remind me of cotton bolls and that's what I have used as my header background... spun cotton... and since I'm dying for a little green in my life... well thus the colour. 

For the last few days I've been busy getting those mitten knitted for the person who requested them last weekend. And finally I finished them yesterday. Now I just have to pack them up and get the in the mail today. Also I have been working on the PCSW newsletter which will be ready to go out very soon... there's one more article to go up and an application form for the scholarship and a few other small items and I'm done. Then I can get back to my own work.  I have been doing a little stitching on a Swedish Weave sampler so that I can put that in the newsletter. I've even dyed some yarn green for the Swedish Weave sampler (and you couldn't ask for a better colour today!)

But as a result it has been overwhelmingly busy and level 4 homework languishes. The other ting that's been going on is that the whole family has been gearing up for march break. The JCR trip which Teapot and Daughter#1 were going on was cancelled and then yesterday there was an email confirming that the trip would go ahead after all, and so they will be leaving for skiing in Smithers on Monday. On again... off again... and in this case, back on again! I'm happy for them though, as that will mean that Daughter #1 is looking forward to a trip that she has wanted to do for several years. It's all good.

But I need to get to the Swedish Weave sample and I might just try to catch a leprechaun and if I can't get the gold from him then I'll at least settle for one of these.

Oh! There he goes now..... I'm off then!
