Snowflake hat

Here is a basic snowflake pattern. I used variegated yarn on the snow flakes which made the stitches hard to count.

Pink stripe hat

I got this pattern from Ravelry link. I followed the adult pattern, but I should have followed the teen size. Even after washing, it didn't shrink down enough.

Cold frame

I built this box out of recycled pallets. The lid is a shower door I found on the side of the road on recycling day. I purchased the support wood for the frame and a box of nails for about $10. I also purchaed a nail puller from Harbor Freight for $4. I anticipate using that many times this year. I am starting seedlings outdoors this year. We shall see if it's worth the effort.

At school this semester, E has made a Popsicle stick gnome,  a rock painted like a lady bug, and a rainbow flower. I think the teachers are ready for spring.
