Creating and a Failure (sort of)

Hello you sunshiny faces!! Tis a beauty day here in the U.P of Michigan! Reason #1 – Mr. PRV is coming home today after being gone ALL wkend (yes, I am that useless without him) #2. The sun is shining. #3. Grandma’s got the kiddos. #4. YOU’RE HERE!

AND it is already round 3 of my YEAR LONG CHALLENGE! You can catch up on round one and round two if you’d like.

So for today’s…. DRUMMM ROLLLLL…. OK. I did it. Failed. Fell flat on my face. You with me? Y’know that saying… that “life” got in the way? That is so bogus of an excuse, isn’t it? Even though I use it all the time! haha! But really when I think about it how can “life” get in the way of life. That really makes no sense at all!! So instead of using the 101 excuses that I had I am going to share with you a SNEAK PREVIEW as well as a yummy recipe instead.

Am I fired yet??

Yes she is pink. She is on the wall soon to be photographed in all her Valentine’s pink-ness. (is that a word??)

And we learned how to knit while the man was gone! My five year ole boyga… the one with NO patience at all… actually managed this. So darn cute.

March onward now towards the recipe-
