Did you get April fooled?

By -
I got April fooled. Sort of. My neice called me from PA to April fool me and I played along. I love April fools day so I am on alert most of the day. The computer has been April fooling me however, so someone's having a good time with me. Probably my Nana. She absolutely loved April Fools day. We have long elaborate family stories of how we have had fun on this day.

We have a bit of jelly bean overload in this house. Brach's, Sweettart (have you tried these, ohhhhh are they sour, and addictive) and Jolly Ranchers. I know I've mentioned that Helen Brach the candy heiress lived in our town of Glenview. So we have to have some Brach's beans and talk about how she's never been found. Al brought the others home because the real jelly bean lover in the house, had a crash on his bike yesterday and broke a rib. I think it is medically proven that jelly beans heal broken ribs, right?

I am finishing the crochet shawl tonight. I haven't decided on a border or fringe.....hmmmm. I cannot wait to wash this linen and see if it, indeed, is as soft as promised when washed.....

Then there is the matter of Al and I winning some yarn moohla. NCAA march madness and we are the CHAMPIONS, my friend. Sing along.... Of course we have to split it, but I will undoubtedly purchase a yarn something or other. I saw the ear piece with the light that would light up my knitting for porch season. Truth be told, the needles with the lights only work if I am....ready? knitting with size 10s. This revelation occurred to me after I bought the tens.

Then again, I would love a wooden crochet hook that my LYS is selling.

A massage would be heaven......but it will be over too quickly and then I'll be sad AND have no new yarn.

For those of you who guessed which class I'm taking at Stitches, well there was a clue. I said I hated to waste money. STASHOLOGY!

Happy April!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
