Winter harvest

I planted more spinach last fall in the hopes of having some more fresh bounty before winter set in. Well, thanks to a beautifully mild winter, we are still enjoying this lovely greeny now in January. Oh, happy spinach dip, here I come!

You might be a knitter...

If your son uses yarn scraps to make scarves for his army men.  LOL

Recipes?

Have you seen my other blog? My recipe box is where I post my favorite recipes. They have all been tried and taste tested in my own kitchen. :)


Hello, my name is Yva, and I'm a coupon junkie...

I caught the coupon bug last year...and it still remains with me. (I admit it, it was THAT show that sucked me in.)  However, I do NOT act like the people on there, and I try to keep my stock piles within reason. Unfortunately though, during the holidays, we were so busy, that I got way behind on my clipping/organizing. EEK!
But I finally had time yesterday and today to reign the chaos in and cleanout  and organize my binder! Yay! I feel so much better!

New Year, New Projects!

So, I have a standing order to make 16 pair of wristlets this year to be finished by November (which gives me plenty of time).  I finished the first pair today! I'm so itching to start the next pair, but alas, there are other things I have to do too. It's a shame I can't just sit around and knit all day long.
Don't you just love the pretty sparkly yarn!
