April Update

Where did April go?? I don't know about you but I don't remember most of April. I am not sure whether I can blame it on spring or whether it is age! LOL!!

April Finishes:
Marialis End-to-End Scarf - DD#2 Christmas present from DD#1

(pic to follow)

This was my only finish this month. I have lost a few days of knitting trying to get plants across the border via UPS. I am NOT a fan of UPS.

Still On The Needles:
Totoro - DD#1
Garter Stitch Scrap Afghan
Yuletide Gnome - Me

My Ecological Footprint

I did the quiz of my Ecological Footprint at Footprint.org It was interesting.

I am going to try and reduce my footprint. I do know that we could change our dietary habits but when you look at my results, we are right on the country average so we are not doing too bad. There is always room for improvement!
