New Ideas

 I think this falls in the 
Pretty Sure I Could Make This department.
As soon as the tongs go on clearance, I buying 5 pair and making this wreath. 
I saw it (stole the idea) from my local Farmer's Market yesterday. 
 Their flowers were so beautiful. 
How did I forget to plant easy peasy Zinnia's this year? 
 I'm pulling a Cullerton these days. 
This means I am finally knitting a shrug just like my pal KFC knits all the time.  
She's a smart cookie. This is a fun easy project and I'm loving the results so far. 
Finally, my hot weather tip for you:
buy some of this thermal spring water spray and 
give yourself a spritz every few on these hot humid days. 
Odorless and refreshing....I found it at Target. 

Have you found anything new lately?

Who'da thunk? A flip-flop wreath. I would go well with the "vodka tree" I saw in New Smyrna Beach.

I LOVE zinnias. I can't grow them here but I love their big pops of color they give to a garden especially once it gets hot and everything else starts to fade. Nothing new here......oh wait. I have a NEW grandson! It was hard to hand him over and come home last night. New babies are just the sweetest things. I could hold him forever.

What a cute wreath made of thongs. I have not seen the spritz you brought to our attention, but it sure looks like a great idea for a hot summer's day!!

I love zinnias also! My Mom always had them planted in our yard growing up. So they make me think of her when I see them. Those and snapdragons!

My nephew's wife would LOVE that wreath!

Zinnias are gorgeous. They remind me of Late Summer and Early Fall gardens.

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.
