huge thanks to MO at lemongardenia.blogspot.com

Wow Mo! I am so delighted with our Blue Color Swap organized by Lynne at Iwasknittogetherinmymotherswomb.typepad.com. I did not know that Elann made a fixation like yarn. I so love this blue Color Mo. Thank you. The glass buttons are so neat. The post cards from Oregon fascinated my husband who is an extreme sports wanna be fan. (Okay, he's a cyclist who does do some pretty darn tough cycling) He told us all about Mt. Hood's death record.

I have a hard time with extreme sports. I think that I try not to be judgemental, but when my lifetime has been spent taking care of little premies who haven't asked to be on the cusp of death's door, I have to admit some anger at those who challenge death by choice. I do try, however, to let it go. Everyone does what they do for a reason.

The Seas candy. We-hehell. I am a Fannie May born and raised Girl, and I think I've met my match. Oh so good. I hear we have a Seas now, in Chicago. I'm going to order some for the next extended family gathering. Oh we are enjoying Seas.

The little needle case is unlike anything I've seen before. So me. So cute. Mo you did a great job.

Mo also enclosed some of her designer cards: check her wonderful work and blog out at Lemongardenia.blogspot.com

If anyone has doubts about Lynne's colorswap, take it from me, it is a joy to participate in. We both kept to the budget pretty much of twenty dollars and it was enormously fun.

Next month is purple. Al is swapping this time!

Lynne and Mo, thanks again. Made my day!
Please leave me your email or blog so I can thank you for your comment.

Ah, See's Candy! They make the most decadent pink coconut bonbons! They are so good that my little white girl cat used to steal mine and lick them to bits, purring in bliss.

You write a good blog, Dear Heart. I put you on my Favorites list.

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.
