Just for Fun , and Not Much Knitting

By -
I'm working on a really fun knit up with my Big Bulky A.S.A.P. yarn but no photos just yet.   I am at that Oh I love this project, when can I sit down and focus on it, stage.....
oh yeah that's called Startitis. 

So in the mean time aren't these Corning Ware dishes awesome? 
I love Corning ware.   Reminds me of my mom. 
She had the dark blue cornflowers and white dishes. 
We passed these up in Knoxville. 


I'm sorry all you shoe folks, but I had to share these babies.  I'm not buying them but I love them. 
I'd want to have them off my feet more than on to see the scrolls. 
OluKai is in all the:  I'm really cool in this store, but I don't really know how to roll a kayak or climb El Capitan places. 

Late to the party for Cinco de Mayo, but Just in Queso! 
Estoy riendo.  (I'm Laughing)  
:
 So, I love all the Jan Brett illustrated children's books. 
This coffee mug would be great for my Swedish friends. 
It was some ridiculous price that could buy me lots more yarn so I passed.  OH, and it had YOU ARE GOING TO BREAK this written all over it. 
Sigh thats why we cant have nice things. 
Finally, 
I love the colors of this kayak. 
We all know my crazy kayak story from last fall, 
so I just enjoyed looking at this one. 
Turned over. 
Not how I ever want to be again!

Seen anything fun lately?

Love the sandals!

The doldrums are happening here - not knitting, sewing, or doing much of anything but keeping busy with lots of appointments.

Cute shoes.
I am a shoe lover.
I wear Chaco and Vionic sandals during the summer--arch support and the shoes do not look like they are helpful.

Funny you should mention it ..................we just went KAYAKING! Fortunately, we both stayed upright the whole time. ;-)

LOVE those sandals! AND, I know the perfect person for that DALA horse cup. But....yes, it DOES have broken written all over it.

As for the Corning Ware. I still have two pieces. One is the cornflower original pattern and one is just a plain turquoise colored small loaf pan.

I love corning ware too - I bought a couple of casseroles from a thrift store - I have the cream ones with the veggies on the side.

I just read Coastal Living magazine and in the ad section they had earrings to look like Japanese fishing floats.. out of a blue stone sphere wrapped in twisted gold wire like the rope around the real floats. I looked them up on the internet and they were off the charts too expensive. No buying them! I like the Corning refrigerator boxes you found. How much were they? ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

I still have a Corning piece...white with blue, over 40 years old, but it got separated from its glass lid in one of my 15 moves...or maybe it got broken...or is still not unpacked from the last move...ah the mystery of it all...I would want to hang up those sandals to admire as works of art! xx

Corning Ware.....I remember that stuff....use to have a whole set of it. There's only one lonely butter dish left now. It's white with orange wheat sprigs on the cover. Kayaking looks fun in a dangerous sort of way.

I still use my Corning Ware. I love it. I even drug the kids through the Corning factory one year on vacation.
I saw some fun new colors of Kroy sock yarn at AC Moore's today but I passed on it. Now I regret it. If it's still there next time I visit I just may have to bring it on home.

I always look up paddle boards, I want one but they are too expensive and I have no time to use one. I will stick with yarn.

I tried to buy those sandals! They were just too heavy for me. They are gorgeous though!!

Love the sandals, but I would probably wear them and ruin the scrollwork. We got two bowl sets of Pyrex for wedding gifts 38 years ago and I still use them. I see them in antique stores quite often for upwards of $100/set. No kayaks for me. Since I don't swim at all I try to stay in big boats when I'm on the water. Lots of yarny projects for me right now. More starts than I'm comfortable having. Have a great Sunday!
Blessings,
Betsy

Looks like a fun stroll through this store! I still use my old corning ware, too.
I was married in the 70's; I have lots of Cornin Ware still....

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.
