Happy Valentine's Day!

It was a quiet week here at the Lambsons.  Sarah continued to recover – getting stronger daily. 


 She had her post-surgery doctor visit on Thursday and her staples were removed and she graduated from lifting 10 pounds to 25 pounds.  She started driving that day and we took walks with Bones that afternoon and on Friday.  She moved back into her apartment Friday night.  I figure she will still get tired easily for a couple more weeks but otherwise, she is “just like new”. 

It has been REALLY cold all week and Steve has been fighting a cold (as well as the cold) so bike-riding has been put on hold for now.  We have managed to walk the dogs each day – much to their delight.  But, for the most part, they have been content to hunker down with their humans in the warm house.

It is a good thing I have projects to do to make the bleak months of January and February go faster.  I finally finished a project I started last year – my wool felting attempt.  Here are the little purses I made from the felt that has been sitting at the bottom of my project basked for months!  I started them while watching grandkids last week and finished last night.  
 
You can’t see but they have a zipper on top and a lining inside.  My sister, Juli, gave me a similar felt purse a few years ago that I used as a pattern.  I got the cute owl and dog appliques from a friend who was purging some of her scrap-booking supplies. 

Laura Jost, our stake humanitarian project coordinator, has sent me home with a bunch of quilting projects that should keep me busy for a few weeks, at least.  And, my pottery class continues – I glazed six pots yesterday.  Can’t wait to see how they turn out!  I am going to attempt to make a plate next time  - and a few more large bowls.  Maybe even a pitcher!

Our ward had a Valentine breakfast yesterday morning.  We were all supposed to come in our pajamas.  Well, most of the adults did NOT come so dressed.  I felt a little awkward in my lamb p.j.'s  Here is Melanie in her matching pair along with Elise giving me the stink-eye
   We shared a table with the Davis family.  Violet, in the middle, is the one I had lunch with a few weeks back.
Love and Hugs to all on this Valentine's Day.....
