Ready for spring!

I am sooo ready for warm weather and spring. Even with all the yard work I'll need to do and the cleaning up...I'm soo ready. This weekend we were going to take a drive to Salmon and spend a couple of days checking things out, but the wind was so cold, that we decided against it. We did go to Jerome and meet Steph for lunch which was fun. We don't get to see the Nelson's nearly as much as I would like.
I also spent some time crocheting on a baby shawl. I have a goal to make each one of my grandkids a quilt for when they get married, and a shawl (knitted or crocheted) for their first baby. It all began when I started knitting a circular shawl when I was expecting Danelle. I know...that was a long time ago. Anyway, I kept getting mixed up and I'd have to wait until Doris came down for a visit to figure out where I got off and tear it all out and get me going again. Finally, I finished it, but it was a year or maybe years later. So I decided that when Danelle had her first baby I would give it to her. Well, Braquel came into our lives, but I had totally forgotten the white knitted shawl. So...now it will be for the first baby Braquel has. So, I can't do that for one grandchild and not the rest, so I've been working on shawls for several years now. I need to get in the cedar chest and actually count how many I have. The trouble is, my thumbs are so full of arthiritis, that I have a really hard time doing hand work like this anymore. But, I started one on Wednesday, and if you know me, I have a hard time putting anything down like that. So I'm about half way finished with it. I'm just hoping I'm not short on one color of yarn.
I almost have the quilt done for Stephanie Ellsworth. I just have to sew the binding on it. I have it all cut and pressed though.
I have two sets of cards made for the exchange for March which is embossing...heat or dry. So far, I've used the dry.
