Lunar New Year

Happy new year!  The actually day was January 23.  It's the year of the dragon.  A few friends and I hit the smallest parade I've ever seen.  I think there were three floats and a marching band.  The Chinese dragons were pretty cool.

Part of the tradition is to light fireworks to drive away the evil spirits.  Please excuse the head in the video!

Back In the Saddle

Let's see if I can get this blog rolling again.   Like my crafting, my blog has fallen by the way side.  I started a crochet project.  Ruby likes using the arms of my sofa as scratching post and I am sick of having to step over blankets draped over the arms.  I saw this image and thought it was a great idea.

So, instead of doilies I'm going with crochet.  Here's to hoping I finish this project and continue to blog in 2012.  Happy new year!
