Postcard fun

Al is knitting a baby hat fairisle style. So cute. I think she is making up the pattern. The night photo was taken with a sunflower grown from birdseed. I think the flower is smiling down on the hat.

Postcard update. You have about 3 weeks left to send a postcard for the contest.

Some of those who have entered and entertained me with their postcards are:

Alyssa from wordsandwool.wordpress.com From her new state of Oregon. :)
Debbiebear from NH sent a stinker of a skunk card. So cute. Amongst others.
Anne from knitredsox.blogspot.com sent a neat museum card from London.

Tracy of Hales Corners Wisconsin sent a great little Life is Good with Yarn card.
Kim from KnitswithasilentK sent a darling Sea otter card from Santa Barbara.
Gaylen sent a very cool Seattle postcard with streaks of lightening all over it. I love weather!

Mary from Fort Worth sent a great Longhorn and cowboy postcard.
and
Hege from PineConeLodge sent this great postcard of a dog jumping into a Cranberry Bog. It is mindboggling.

I am having a great time getting the mail these days. I know Bianca's is on the way.

The rest of you still have time to enter. Keep hunting for those postcards. I know for some it has been difficult. You are going to love the sock yarn for the grand prize winner and all the goodies for other winners too. 3 weeks left.

 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 ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
