April Showers

We are getting some much needed spring rain. Hopefully it will wash away all the allergens, like snow mold.

The dogs HATE rain. Cooper is worse than Elke - I finally got him out to do his business but he wasn't happy about it!

My back is improving, at least I can get out of a chair without as much pain.

Angie called this morning, needed cardboard egg cartons and since nothing around here seems to get thrown out, we had plenty. I'll drop them off when I head in to town today. She has a project in mind so she'll put them to better use than I will.

Still doing the de-clutter, it's a long drawn out process....

My first Mandala is finished!

I've looked at quite a few patterns for these mandala's and finally settled on this one - The Dandelion Mandala. Here's the Ravelry link :Dandelion Mandala

It was a fun project and the instructions are extremely well written. I had a couple of problems but overall it went just fine. I am anxious to try another one now but I know I will definitely be making this one again. It's one of those patterns that a change of colors gives it an entirely different look. I was unsure if the turquoise was a good color choice but I like it now that it's done.

Now to weave in all those ends - Yikes!

Feeling Crafty

It must be coming on winter because I'm feeling like doing crafts again. I started a crochet mandala pattern that I bought. I'm excited to see how it turns out.

This is a photo of it that someone else crafted. I'm hoping mine at least resembles it. 

Neither of us felt like having leftover soup so we decided to head down to Menahga and have a burger at the Cottage House restaurant. It was good (as usual) and it was a nice treat.
