Nothing new

Not much going on here, just a lot of reading and school work.  The girls are back at ballet and that takes up 4 days a week.  We planted our onion in a pot and it's growing like a weed.  My daughter Alexis has decided to measure it every day to see how it grows.  Isn't it wonderful when they do things like that on their own?  

It's snowing and I'm knitting

Yesterday we got 6 inches of snow and today we're getting another 6 inches or so.  It's been snowing all day!  It's fine for me, because I love to stay at home and do cozy things, like read on the couch under one of the quilts my mother has made for me.  A few days ago I finished a scarf for my youngest son, Brett and today I've started one for me!  They're so easy to make, unfortunately they're the only thing I can currently knit.  I'm not good at learning from a book (although I did teach myself to knit from a book) it's so much easier to have someone show me, but I don't know anyone who can knit.  :(  There's a fairly new yarn store in my town that offers classes and I'm hoping I will be able to take some beginner classes soon, my daughter Alexis loves to crochet and knit also and she will take them with me.
