The nearly miraculous matching gift socks and a great coffee cake

By -



I'm copying Grace in her modified 10 on Tuesday from Carole's blog. Here are ten of my favorite gifts this Christmas!

*the ipod shuffle I am learning to use. A whole new world as Aladdin would say

*New MUDD slippers that are actually booties

*Thyme hand lotion in Kimono Rose.......this is a nurse testimony! Trust me. :)

*homemade cookies from my neighbors 2 doors down

*a goofy little house that lights up in different windows as it plays holiday tunes

*New sweater from Territory Ahead....soft as buttah

*Minneonka driving shoes

*a little necklace from AL

*a little gadget from my dad, who still worries about his daughters, that you put on your keychain and it hides
a 20 dollar bill for emergencies

*new set of ceramic measuring spoons that match the kitchen


I talk more in the comments!

Love the gift from your dad. I still keep a $20 hidden... well, never mind where. My senior sis in college threw a tantrum on my first college date when she asked if I had mad money and I looked blank...

Mad. Money. Money to catch a cab home with the date goes wrong. Country Mouse knew nothing of cabs, much less mad money. I never leave home without it. Thanks, Tashaboo!

Dads never stop worrying about their little girls! Mine always made certain that I had "mad money" and I even used it a couple of times (no cell phones then. You had to call someone or catch a cab if things didn't go as expected).

Love your 10 things for Christmas. Haul!

GREAT gifts would love to know more about the lotion I have the dryest skin ever.

I will email you later, do you have a vest pattern in particular that you need reverse instructions for? Or general

The helicopter was not an AIR hog, but some in expensive brand, and I have lots of sock yarn, but would like a recommendation for a slightly heavier one for the first pattern!!

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.
