Well, most of our snow had melted and we did enjoy some milder temperatures over the weekend, but this morning we woke to this...
Okay, winter...you brought us cold temps and snow early in December...spring is two days away. Can you please pack up and go away...I'll be happy to see you again next season, but now I am ready to get digging in my gardens and watching my boys participate in baseball and triathlons.
Other than what seemed like endless cold, snow and snow~days home from school, there has been little excitement around here. I am getting the paperwork routine down at work and have finished 12 more hours of training. Only twelve more to reach 43hours and then I will be done with the training!
I received a sweet surprise from Priscilla. I had loaned her a chart to use and in return, she sent me this wonderful scarf.
Perfect for the cold winter days and for my purple sweater!!
Then I had an idea. The early spring and late fall ball games can sometimes be quite chilly. I asked if it would be possible to make a scarf with a baseball instead of the flower. And bingo ~ look what she came up with! I ordered a couple to give as gifts to other baseball moms.
Thanks so much, Priscilla ~ I hope you don't mind, I borrowed the picture you sent me. The first tournament is this weekend and provided the fields are ready to play, I will be sporting my new scarf!
There hasn't been much stitching. This is my most recent project..I have more done than is shown here and really need to get back to it. There is not to much more to do ~ and it is my stress relief...
In other news, my older two boys both made their school baseball teams.
The little guy has been working on his swimming in prep for the triathlons he wants to do ~ looking forward to seeing how he does with those!!
I asked for a new toilet for our powder room...my husband never does anything small...before I knew it, we were picking out paint colors and new fixtures..
It is hard to get a good picture of the paint color. It is a really pretty grey/green. Love it! Now if I can only keep the boys out of there!
The biggest news is that Panzer turned two!! Hard to believe!!
We are so blessed to have him in our lives...

I hope spring arrives for you guys soon. I can imagine being tired of being frozen! I hope baseball season won't get delayed!
Hooray to almost being done with your training!
Love the stitching in progress.
Happy #2 to Panzer!
I'm crying for spring too! Looks like we're getting 5-10cm of snow tomorrow! $%^&!!!!!
What a beautiful scarf!
By stitching more flowers maybe spring will come sooner?
So nice to see your update, Catherine, but I'm sorry to hear you're still dealing with snow! You sure got hit over on your side of Pennsylvania this year, didn't you? I really hope that is the last of it--I'm sure the boys are anxious to get out there and play ball :)
Love your stitching and the baseball scarf from Priscilla is too cute--she is so creative! Love the color of your bathroom, too--hope the boys keep it nice and neat for you (wishful thinking, I know!!)...
Glad to hear your training is going well--you're almost there! Wishing you a happy, sunny spring--we deserve it don't we?
I had to laugh when I saw your bathroom. We just finished up our powder room (mostly - haven't changed out the fixture on the sink yet) and it looks almost the same as yours. I will email you some pics. :-)
lol! Your selfie is about the kind I'd like to take too. :D Beautiful gift! Hate the snow though. Ugh. I'm so glad the snow missed us this time around. Who knows if there will be a next time. I hope not! Congrats to your two sons! Happy birthday to Panzer! Love the stitching too!
Selfie's are supposed to show your face! Love the baseball scarfs. Te other moms will love them. Since spring is delayed in your area, you'll get to wear them this season!
I would like to trade husbands for one weekend. Be prepared he's smart and hilarious but moves slowly. Lovely stitching. And happy birthday to Panzer!
Having snow until the middle of March isn't funny any longer. I know this, we usually have snow at least until the beginning of March, just not this year. So that wonderful scarf comes in handy for you.
Nice stitching progress on your piece. And your new powder room looks really gorgeous.
A lovely scarf. We had a very mild winter this year but still, I cant wait for spring: just to see new things growing which reminds us life is wonderful! I love that you named your dog after a Tank lol. He is beautiful xxx
Ha! That's great. A baseball. Perfect for you. :)
Nice job on the bathroom. It looks great. I always lose my mind when I have to pick out new fixtures like that. There are just too many options to pick from! lol
Happy birthday to Panzer. :)
Panzer's head is as big as my dog! Happy belated birthday, Panzer.
Congrats to the boys on making the team...no surprise there!
That was such a sweet gesture to send you that pretty scarf. The baseball one is SO appropriate for you.
I am sure by now the weather is much nicer in PA...hopefully,
