Happy Leap Day Everyone! This little donkey was leaping and cavorting around so much that her feed bucket went flying!

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some pretty vintage Workbasket Valentine’s patterns…
Yesterday the temperature dropped from +4ºC in the morning to -6ºC by late afternoon and the rain from earlier in the day turned to snow. We’re supposed to get more snow later today and for the next couple of days after that. Winter is making itself felt in south western Ontario!
