It's hard to believe a whole year has gone by since our friends Randi and Mike welcomed their little girl Paige into this world. And when the birthday was coming up, Randi asked me to make Paige a Bunny Blanket. So, i got to work...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Paige's new bunny blanket is made with a soft washable, easy care acrylic yarn that gets softer and softer as you wash it. This pattern and yarn has been tested out by my own granddaughter Zoey, who sleeps with her bunny blanket every nap and every night. So i know these little blanket buddies are made to last! I also included a little toddler sized crocheted bunny named Tilly, and tucked them all into a fabric basket i made of old recycled cotton fabric. I thought Randi could use the basket for toys or storage on top of Paige's dresser. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And here is Paige opening her present (with a little help from her Mommy and friends) I hope she likes it as much as Zoey does. I started making another pink bunny blanket to put into my shop, but my daughter has requested a back up bunny blanket for when Zoey's bunny needs washing. She cries until the blanket is washed and dried and ready to go again! If i ever do get one or two of these in the shop, keep them in mind for a gift for a baby shower. Little ones really do love them and i charge them with Reiki and Love all while i am making them...Happy Birthday Little Paige! We Love You!!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This morning, i got this recipe in my inbox, and i decided to try my hand at making my own Empanadas, or Hand Pies. This is my very first attempt. I was a little clumsy with the dough, but they sure tasted good, and weren't all that hard to make!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The dough is a basic pie crust dough, and while most empanadas are fried, these were brushed with cream (i used half and half) and baked in the oven, so i am hoping they are also less fattening!</div>

But with the thaw and all the rain we have gotten here these last 3 or 4 days, my herbs have been tricked into thinking it is Spring and time to wake up. I noticed this yesterday but it was too dark to take pictures. Above you can see my fancy Thyme, with a thin coating of frost on it. </div>

My indoor houseplants are responding more to the light coming into the windows and they are starting to put out new growth too, tho a bit early. Some of my smaller indoor trees lost most or all of their leaves this Fall and it will be nice to have them green again. Maybe we will have an early Spring. </div>

We have been in a deep freeze and surrounded by thick layers of ice and snow since the Holidays. So this weekend when the temperatures got up to 57 degrees and we had lots of rain instead of snow, i grabbed my point and shoot camera and my umbrella, and headed down to the Cohoes Falls. </div>

During this super cold spell we find ourselves in, i've noticed some pretty interesting ice and frost patterns form on our windows. I tried to take a picture of this one, which is blurry, but i think it is the best photo i got of it. It looked just like a little frost fairy, until the sun warmed it and it faded away...

And this drawing for me is priceless. It is a drawing of my three dogs who have passed. Zebedee, Amos Moses, and Gipetto. I think Lola would only remember Gipetto as the other two passed on before she would know them. The Beautiful Angel in the center is my Grandmother Mary.When telling me the story of this drawing, Lola said my Grandmother and the three brothers(dogs) are all Angels and they are here,watching over me. Love, love, love....</div>

My sister Nancy and her husband Ned came home from Florida for Christmas, and she and Lola made these sweet angels out of macaroni, lace, markers and glue. Everyone got a special angel ornament. This one is mine</div>

Lola also decorated the little nutcracker ornament in the background. They may stay up here and be hung on one of my indoor trees. You can never have too many angels hanging around, can you? </div>

With all this stormy weather around us, i've been baking up a storm..Cooling on the stove are two loaves of my home baked bread, an apple berry pie, made with farmer's market apples and our own wild berries that i froze(not sure what kind they are) and a big old pot of turkey barley soup! That should keep us fed and warm for a while!</div>
