Okay, turn your laptop or your head...again

Another post in which I couldn't get the image to flip. I did try. I don't mean to challenge anyone with this little blog. So I am sorry, but the needle holder must be viewed correctly with some effort. My neighbor's hibiscus is too sweet not to share. The needle holder was a purchase of necessity after reading someone's post about impaling a circular in her foot.

I"d been using an old clinique bag as a needle holder. It was a big old mess and true to form, I usually just didn't open it up and put needles back when finished. This is because the needles would spring out like a Jack in the Box on steroids. This thing is a dream. It was made by FawnFace on etsy. It was her first sale!

I may have to put up my feet more than usual today. A can of GULP fell on it just now. Gulp Is a fishing thing. Suffice to say I'm going to have a bit of a black and blue mark on the fat little hungarian foot .Speaking of feet. I'm a bit jealous of my sisters again. Some of them were at the hungarian family picnic this weekend. All those skinny little Irish feet in sandals. I'm the only one who got the feet that are as long as they are wide.

I'll have to show you my pedi socks tomorrow. Here's your viewer warning: the image may be disturbing to some. If You have never seen little sausage toes......
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

I turned my head. It was easier. Love the photos. Ouch - sorry to hear about your foot. Maybe some ice and TLC would help. I think you deserve a pedicure (you know - to compete with those cute feet in sandals). Hope you feel better soon.

Love the needle holder! That would be a great gift for any knitter.

About the toes, as I say to my GD who has short, fat feet, "Kiss those little piggy toes!"

Hibiscus bloooms are awesome...they look the same no matter which way you turn your head! I love when they get to be the size of dinner plates.

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 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...
