It's still pretty cold out there, but the sun is out today for the first time in days, and that is a lovely thing. I risked life and limb inching along the ice covered path to get down to this area of the yard. I had grand ambitions of getting some good pictures of Claire and Emily "sliding" on the ice. It's much too rough for skates, so the kids take a few running steps, then slide across, balancing on their boots. (In theory. In practice it's more sliding sitting down. Thank goodness for snow pants!)
It turned out is was actually pretty hard to keep the dolls and myself balanced, with a camera in one hand! LOL So I only got a few pictures that turned out, and none of them together.
Oops! And down goes Emily!
That's her new sweater that I just finished yesterday. I have to make yet another adjustment to the pattern! LOL Someday I will get it just the way I want it; I've already started knitting the adjusted version. In pink, this time, because why not?
These girls are too cute, I believe you had a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much! Yes, they are always a lot of fun. :D
DeleteIt does look like the girls enjoyed themselves, despite little Emily having a bit of an accident.....glad to see no 'bones' were broken in the making of this blog post!!
ReplyDeleteLOL I admit, I was a little worried, and always had a hand ready to catch them if it looked like they were going to tip over...but they emerged unscathed!
DeleteHad to take advantage of all that ice, as it will (hopefully, hopefully, hopefully) all melt soon. :)
We never get to see that sort of thing where I live because if it snowed here, then the moon would turn blue and pigs might actually fly. It's nice to see photos of winter though through other blogs.
ReplyDeleteThe sweater on Emily looks gorgeous. You do such a great job with your knits.
Winter is a pain, and like most of my fellow Canadians I complain about it a lot - but I would really miss it if I lived somewhere else! Though that doesn't stop me from sighing admiringly when I see pictures from those of you who live in warmer climes.... ;)
DeleteThanks for the kind words! By the time I get the pattern just right, she is going to have a lot of these sweaters.... LOL
It has been years since we've seen such ice here! I love the pictures, it must have been quite a challenge :-). The sweater looks great already, but a girl never can have enough clothes ;-).
ReplyDeleteLOL Very true... Or that is my excuse for the entire box of clothing Emily has....
