Your friend at church will be ever so pleased at your gift! <br />I have very little counter space in my kitchen, so I keep a cart, just inside the laundry room, which is right off the kitchen. It holds the mircrowave, the toaster oven, and Keurig Coffee machine. Along with a chest that holds all of our hot teas and such. It works out, and keeps the counters from being bogged down with stuff! <br />Stay warm!!!<br />xo KrisKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578853096888320012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-65420641529173244032014-01-22T12:40:22.449-06:002014-01-22T12:40:22.449-06:00Happy birthday Mandy!

Definitely sounds like crochet weather to me. :) I'm sure the blanket will be much appreciated in that cold, cold weather. Wrap up and stay warm.

Love your hearts and that wonderfully warm blanket. You are going to be a blessing to so many little ones.

Today, however it was cold and clear with temps in the 40s, and some wind that made it feel colder. Your frosty photos are lovely, Betsy. Happy Birthday to Mandy! I can imagine that the pretty blanket you made will be treasured by your friend. And good for you in sticking with the CASA training, and cheers for those who serve children in need of protection. xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-73540966458901492962014-01-20T22:34:20.277-06:002014-01-20T22:34:20.277-06:00Sweet birthday blessings to your daughter Mandy to...Sweet birthday blessings to your daughter Mandy today! I feel the same way you do--what a gift children are (and how much we miss being with them when we they don't live close by). Hope that it isn't long until you will be hugging your daughter and little Piper again!<br />The new blanket is gorgeous Betsy! I LOVE the colors and the design--it will be a blessing to your church friend I am sure. Love your heart garland also--I hope to one day be able to make some hearts with Teresa's instructions. <br />Beautiful photos of the frost but please, please stay safe!<br />Blessings, <br />Aimee<br />aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255823818961459112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-45150354059062531952014-01-20T21:26:14.024-06:002014-01-20T21:26:14.024-06:00ah lvoely post and smiled when you said it took tw...ah lvoely post and smiled when you said it took two hours to do it.. seems to take us ages doesn't it?? but I dont get that many interruptions...<br /><br />I love the homeliness of your last two pickies and I never have clean counter tops or kitchen benches as we call them over here, isn't funny language??<br /><br />... and would love to send you our balmy sunny 28celsius day to you, love Shaz in Oz.x <br /><br />PS love the cotton blanket too... am sure your lady will be delighted.Shaz in Oz.CalligraphyCardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18050100007497130952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-21727698088701904432014-01-20T19:11:39.781-06:002014-01-20T19:11:39.781-06:00Your photos are lovely, but I am sure you are over...Your photos are lovely, but I am sure you are over the weather already.
