Crochet....

There's just something about fall/winter that makes me want to play with yarn.  Especially since Krista visited and taught me how to make bath scrubbies (will have to post pictures later!).  I decided to make a few smaller dishclothes for the kitchen and toss the sponges (aka germ holders). 

 

I love them so far and am waiting for JoAnns to put their cotton yarns on sale again to make more.

My bestie, Krista from Virginia. 

Andy and Alex got me some really wonderful gifts:

And there was Costco cake:

Turning 40 wasn't all that bad!
