Want to see me turn this ball of yarn into socks?

I still think it is magical...what we knitters do....
This ball of yarn was a prize in a contest I entered awhile ago... more on the yarn when I work some magic with it....

I was delighted to beat the post office by nearly 3 dollars with my latest 4.95 USPS box. I put a little yarn gifty in the box and a bag of ......
dark chocolate Hersey kisses. Got that little box nice and heavy.......it would have been nearly 8 dollars if I didnt use the flat rate box. Oh joy. Plus I would have paid for some sort of packaging....can we call it 4 dollars now? This frugal irisheyed Hungarian American loves a bargain!

If you are looking for something creative to do with your Valentine roses. ahem,
P. Allen Smith's Gardening Website gives you step by steps for making beads from rose petals. ........
I wont' be doing this, but I'll just bet one of you tries it or has tried it.

Have you seen the Love cards by Hallmark that have sketch of a skein of yarn on the cover.....I have
and I bought them. I'll bet one of you has also!

My diamond ring is a heart. I'll bet one of you has a heart shaped diamond too......

anyone ? Anyone? xoxo

Think the Knight would want to take me to Hallmark NOW - while it's snowing, AGAIN?

I saw the directions for making beads from roses. I also have a bouquet of dying roses on the table. It just looks like too much trouble to make them into anything other than potpourri.

I'll look for the cards.

Your prize yarn is a beautiful color. Look forward to seeing the socks!

Congrats on beating USPS. They so deserve it!

Looking for the love cards.

No heart shaped diamonds but the first thing DH gave me (in high school) was a gold heart-shaped locket that I still wear.

 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...
