How does your garden grow?

Happy Spring everyone!!

It's gorgeous outside today and I'm so excited for tomorrow! I'll be heading to Wine in the Woods. If you live in Maryland - stop by the Far Eastern Shore booth. I'll be working there from 3-6 pouring their wines. The owners are good friends of mine - so come out and give them a taste!


All the rain leading up to the past few nice days have caused my flowers to pop!! I couldn't resist taking a few pictures.

Here's some Friday eye candy from my yard.

Kiss That Frog...

and you will find your prince!

I test knit a mitten pattern for Beth called Kiss That Frog. Aren't they cute!
When you put your palms together - you get a whole frog!

These count for the ABC along too! They are Colorwork mittens - ha!

It figures I knit these mittens and now it's getting nice and warm! Spring is in the air in more ways than one - it's a beautiful day today and look what I saw peeping up!

The first crocuses!

First sign of spring!


It was a great weekend too - I had a great time on Saturday hanging with Jacey, Erin and Paula - thanks for a great time at the Red Canoe!




Oh and I got to check out a new (to me) yarn store - Spinster Yarns and Fibers - an eco-friendly yarn and spinning shop. I highly recommend it! There's no website yet - but the address is:
4337 B Harford Rd. in Baltimore. Grab some yarn and a cup a joe upstairs at Red Canoe!
