passing the time durning those long winter months


making these...
Ice-coated trees outside mean only one thing inside an old farmhouse: layer up! Even with the super awesome new windows our incredible land-lord put in last spring, we get a bit chilly. So, Maya and I made several of these to keep us warm this winter. So supper quick and easy. You'll need to know this: front post triple and back post triple crochet stitch. And I can get the Simply Soft yarn at Wal-mart which means I don't have to drive into Dublin to get my supplies! Go here for free instructions.

...reading this...
Cool thing about this book, it's a fictional account of an "unsinkable" ship called the Titan that hit an ice burg and sunk... written 14 years before the sinking of the Titanic. No kidding. Free for Kindle here.

...and this...
True account of the sinking of the Titanic written just months after the disaster by people who knew the survivors.
