It's Up to Your Knees Out There!

OH! Listen to my MinnesOta accent when I tell you this winter storm was a dOOOzy! Yuh.
Once again we hunkered. And we ate. The day started out with frosted cinnamon rolls. Then some nachos and a beer for lunch. And all day we had a pork roast cooking in the pot. Roasted some veggies. Oooh mama. I'll keep going. Toasted pound cake with peaches and vanilla bean ice cream. A big snowstorm is always a good excuse to over-eat lots of white, heavy, comfort food.
It's also a good excuse to knit...

I made a mitten for a teacher gift. But she does have two hands so I have to make another one. Hmm.
And I started on a new Sweet Baby Dolly design for late winter. Sneak peak:

 

After thousands of calories, dozens of logs, 3 Christmas movies, 10 hours of sleep, and about 17 inches of snow we were able to dig ourselves out and return to life. We felt so thankful to be warm and comfy in this old brick house. YoU BETCHA!

First Post. First Spring.

Whoooppee Doooo! First post! Just hoping to pass on some of the little bits of goodness that we run into daily here at the Big Brick House. It was an ordinary set of unfortunate (or perhaps quite fortunate?) circumstances that led us to this very spot. Home at last, and we could not be happier.
Just ask the singing dog.




So, first Spring here too and all sorts of surprises are popping up. We have insane rhubarb, tons of tulips, and last week I found a little patch of mint.





I don't know about you, but apple blossoms make me lose my cool.

OH! So much fluff so little time. Stay tuned kids.
