My mom taught me to knit when I was a little girl, and we are still avid knitters. Above is a photo of a few of the hats Mom knits for the homeless. I’m proud of her for thinking about and doing something for those who are less fortunate. The son of a good friend of mine makes sure the hats find their way to someone who is in need of a warm hat. I’m proud of him as well for doing something for others. Mom and Michael are both very special people.

Join a Knitting Group. It’s so Much Fun!

I’ve been doing a lot of knitting lately and really enjoying it. Above are two of my current projects, a baby blanket and a scarf. Last week I wrote about the Crafty Ladies charity knitting/crocheting group. This was my second week with them and it was so much fun. Below is a photo of the group. You can see, there was a lot of Christmas spirit to be found.

Our Magic Lantern Tea Rose

It’s been a cloudy day. We were out front of our house finishing the Christmas decorating when I spotted a lone blossom on our Magic Lantern tea rose. I brought it inside and placed it in a small bud vase that I bought in New Zealand several years ago. The two together made such a bright spot that I had to post it on Plum Bird Corner. Hope it brings a smile to your face as it does mine.
