Block(ing) Party, Day Two

Another Dane shawl made from Zauberball.

What? Me Crochet?

I have learned to crochet.

Yes, you read that right.

And not only that, I learned how to crochet with 2 colors, too.

Jayne C and I went to Folklore Village for their Stitch, Spindle & Skein event. This is such a gorgeous venue. I can't believe I had never heard of the village before this.

Here is our fearless teacher -


Photographic proof that I attempted to learn to crochet for a second time. (The first time was an unmitigated disaster.)

Block(ing) Party, Day One

This is another Dane shawlette made from Briar Rose Sea Pearl.



A lot of wine(ing) was involved as I was in the dining room - with all the doors shut - to block the shawlette on the floor. The cats hate a party to which they are not invited.

Seen Today II

Vanity plate on a car ahead of me at a stoplight that says:

HRLY HNY

I'm not sure what it says about me that the first thought that came to me was Hourly Honey.

The second thought was Hourly Hiney.

Your thoughts?

Trite, But True

Born free - now I'm expensive.

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

I don't have hot flashes - I have short, private vacations in the tropics.

I'm not 40 something. I'm $39.95 plus shipping and handling.

I don't skinny dip - I chunky dunk.
