Huddy's second season of Football...is over

Huddy's second season of Football...is over

Hudson is bummed that this is the end of the season. He has gone from not wanting to hit at the beginning of the season to loving getting in there and pushing around the other team. He had Keith helping him learn how to hit and block along with everything else he learned. Hudson was pushed outside of his "safety box" and it was hard for him to push through it but he did and he is so proud of himself. His teammates were great to him always encouraging him and messing around. The coaches kept with him and taught him things that he didn't learn the year before. They were so patient in teaching him the game and strategy of football. He has learned so much this year that is great to see the transformation in him this year.

Eggnog Spice Cupcakes

Eggnog Spice Cupcakes with Coffee buttercream frosting.
This was a new recipe that I came up with and made for part of the gifts that I give to the kids' teachers and some of the staff at school. I love eggnog and coffee so viola...yummy cupcakes. These were rich in flavor and so full of "holiday" yummyness.


Email me for the recipe if you would like to try them.



Snow pictures

Some pictures from the backyard. Ice on the tree branches that are touching the ground.

10" of snow and that is after the freezing rain squiched the snow down today. Oh, bother, as Pooh says.

The tree branches next to the pool are the branches from the top picture. That's a lot of snow.

You can't tell that there are 4 steps on the deck because there is so much snow!

Furry scarf and matching Minky pillow


This scarf is knit with two yarns at once. A colored worsted weight and a fur yarn. It is a fun twist on a scarf.



I made a pillow out of Minky material to go with the scarf. The flip side of the pillow was a bobble pattern made out of the Minky material as well. This is a fun and fairly easy gift idea. If you would like to purchase one or both you can email me. There is a variety of material patterns and colors to pick from. The scarf requires 2 skeins of the base colored yarn and two of the fur. The price for both projects includes the materials.

Scarf cost: $25.00
Pillow cost: $25.00
