With the snow and cold days of this winter and having our lovely little 9 month old we do not get out too much so while snowed in for a couple of days I started experimenting with my yarn,buttons and crochet hook. To my delight I made these wonderful new Cuff Bracelets!!!! Yippee
I am also awaiting a hint of spring so I can start my new mini greenhouse full of wonderful herbs. When I look out the window on that sunny day once in a while I bask in the thought of being outside playing with the children and gardening and running around. Soon I hope lol.

I toy with making yummy food or baby and only use the best ingredients.
This morning baby was quite hungry, maybe because she is 9 months old today!!!!
So I ground some oatmeal, added some water and cooked for about 3 minutes until thick then I mashed some mango and added it to the cooked oats. What a hit she just loved it so much!
Now she is also using a walker, boy oh boy what did I get myself into!!! She is everywhere now and so quick too. Well I wanted her to be mobile so I can not complain!!

This weekend we will be making baby pants so look for the picks on my blog and at www.simplevibes.etsy.com

Calendula officinalis (Pot Marigold or Poet’s Marigold) If you don’t have this wonderful herb growing in your garden, I highly advise you plant some seeds in your garden next year. It tolerates poor soil and will come back every year because it reseeds like crazy. The petals and stems are edible; they make a pretty garnish to a salad but taste a tad bitter. I grow calendula not because it’s edible but because of its medicinal value. Herbalists use it for many ailments, too many to list here, but my favorite use of calendula is for the skin. You can use it as a local topical application to boost the healing rate and prevent infection on a wound or other skin conditions. Calendula is also fantastic for chapped and dry skin.
