Heading for a wonderful weekend!

Weekends are particularly wonderful to me as I get to spend time with my friends and family.  This weekend my friends and I are getting together to create even more terrific pieces of clothing. Then later that evening my terrific husband and I are headed to Wyoming with some neighbors for a birthday party. 

Our little neighbor, Courtney will be 5 years old and she has invited us to the family ranch to enjoy the winter (i.e. freezing cold/sub-zero) activities. Most guests will be enjoying sledding, ice fishing, snowball fights...me I can be found in front of the fire in the Lodge sewing arms and legs on sock monkeys!!

Having lived in Wyoming for a number of years I appreciate the weather there...snow blows sideways, you don't see pavement for at least three months out of the year (roads are packed with snow and ice), and when you are traveling make sure you have a survival kit in the trunk that includes a shovel to dig yourself out in case you slide off the road! However, Wyoming has a number of redeeming qualities.  The scenery, historical sites, hunting, fishing, and tranquility. 

My favorite quality Wyoming has to offer is it's residents.  I have lived in a number of states and NEVER have I met more wonderful people than the ones in Wyoming...they are kind, caring, and go the extra mile in their community and their homes.

If you have never visited Wyoming it is a great place to vacation!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Upcycled Newsie Hat

New take on a old style.

Raynee is modeling a hat that I like to think of as a new take on an old style.  The hat is made of upcycled knit such as tee shirts, golf shirts, etc.  They are fun to wear and the "in" thing these days!
