It snowed a lot this weekend and it's still snowing on and off.  The snow was so deep it was up to my knees in spots.  I know I'm not terribly tall but that's still a lot of snow. This isn't unusual weather for this time of year but it was so nice for a while that we were spoiled. Since the snow fell so fast the kids go Monday off school.

I finished the bookmarks and am back to the hat.  I feel like I'm finally making some progress.  I am planning on working on the totoro next then the fingerless gloves.  By the time I get to that it will probably be warm. I'll probably work on them at the same time because the totoro isn't really portable. I also did some charity knitting.

I finally got around to finishing Pinocchio.  It's about boy who's family is destroyed by false news reports and ends up an orphan.  He ends up living on an island with an old man, his son and granddaughter. Through an odd set of circumstances he ends up being an uncle to the girl even though they are the same age.  The boy and girl grow up together and of course he falls in love with her.  The girl has a condition where if she lies she hiccups. There is romance, adventure and revenge as various people's lives intertwine.  It's really sweet and cute. It explores some of the same themes as I Hear Your Voice but is not a retelling of the same story.  There was definitely more adventure in I Hear Your Voice (the bad guy was scarier)  but I liked the couple better in Pinocchio. I would recommend it, it was really sad to see it end.  I don't feel like that was a good review but I don't want to explain to much and give things away.

I think that's it.  I feel like there was something else since I skipped so many days but I can't think of anything.  I hope you stay safe and warm.
