The bear is a keychain.

This Frugal Hungarian would like to make certain you know that Grace is selling some of her handknit shawls for 85.00 each. These would make ideal gifts for very special occasions. Grace is at Lovingcomfortknits.blogspot.com. She usually comments on my blog, so you can go to her comments and click on her name. Voila! you will be at her site to see the shawls.

Have you ever gone to Deesie's blog? Deesie.typepad.com. She is a magnificent knitter. If you are looking for a fine blog to add to your reads, check her's out.

Just because I FAV something on Ravelry, doesnt mean I am going to knit it. Often it means I adore it and will never knit it! The cupholder that is made to look like blue jeans and a belt is an example. People are so clever. If you don't do Ravelry, sorry about this comment.

I'm being called to make a coffee warmer. I won the Greek Deli coffee kit from Darcy's blog contest. Katherine is making coffee warmers for gifts. I think I need to get on this wagon......

Have you ever made a coffee cup warmer?

Did it get lost shortly after you made it?

The practicality of a gift is a big consideration in the decision to knit it for someone. This is silly. I have gifts I have barely any use for that I adore. So I guess the question is, have you knit a coffee cup warmer that you adored anyhow and then it got lost? I see them getting tossed out with the empty cup. I worked at McDonalds long ago, where people put their cups on their car roofs all the time. And drove away. Did you? Have you?

Once I left my gas cap on top of my car and drove away. I was so amazed at the price of a replacement that I've never done it again.

I've never knit a coffee cup warmer, but now I have an overwhelming urge to. Oh the power of suggestion!! I'd also like to know more about that Bear Keychain!!

We don't have many coffee drinkers in my family but I'm sure some could use a nice tea cozy.

I forgot to put my gas cap on years ago. I haven't had to buy another since that lesson although every now and then I forget to screw it on. Thank goodness it's tethered to the car.

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...
