First Camping Weekend 2012

Headed out of town Friday after work and had a wonderful, cool weekend of camping!

You can see my new walking stick in the photo.  I was able to use it on a hike that was a couple of miles through forest, by the St. Croix River and on leaf covered paths.
Not a lot of leaves on the trees yet but the trillium were out in full bloom!
It was a great weekend and I even made some yo yo's!
Seems as if the road less traveled does make all of the difference....

Trying to come back...


On my numerous trips on the road to visit my mother (it is a 3 hour drive one way) I have been making yo yo's.  I also have gotten together once with my craft group since Christimas.  Right now it is hard to concentrate and the yo yo's are easy to do.  So here is what I have done lately.


Working on my knee in the car....


The best cat ever...resting on the often used prayer shawl...(we both use it!)
These were the yo yo's I made while with my craft group...
Another car trip of 6 hours...
I wonder how many of these I will need to make a quilt of any size????
