Happy Mother's Day to you all

By -

Happy Mother's Day weekend to you all. Mom's, aunts, sisters, grandma's, everybody. Hope you feel love and loving.

Finally some knitting to show. My Haven shawl is just started but I love the colors. It feels right while I knit it. That is a good thing. I know when my knitting feels right. I will be knitting it in Minnesota next week on the car ride up. I think I may cast another one on, if I finish this one on the way up. I have some neat dark blue yarn that Al discarded about a year ago. It would be a lovely dark shawl. I like to knit the same thing twice often, I found. Two TOASTS, two pairs socks, two easy cowls.....I guess I like to repeat.

We pulled off a 50th surprise party for Fireman last night. So much fun.

I have some lovely gifts from Fireman and my kids for MOm's day. Two dozen red roses from Fireman for having his kids...awwww. A lovely necklace from my friend Ann's site. The silver heart and pearl necklace.
Al and Pete and Zach gave me this absolutely beautiful umbrella with butterflies on it. I Hope it rains soon. And they gave me something very fun: Tina Feys' new book: Bossy Pants!

One of the reasons Fireman's party went so well for me was : I was the boss of it.!!!
I am a very good planner and I like being the boss of it all. No one to argue with me about the food, the caterer, the drinks, the list....... Me, myself and I did a fine job. And we don't argue a bit. Al and Pete and Zach were the best kind of help...they did just what I asked and didn't challenge a thing. BOSSYPANTS was the perfect book for me!

Enjoy the weekend. Happy Happy Mothers day to everyone of you.......
and the ones of you with furr babies, you too are so special!

I'm so glad someone else has that sensation of knitting "feeling right." I've finished projects, found them looking fine, but never had that feeling through the whole process. It makes such a difference.

Happy Belated Birthday to FireMan.

If I find a pattern that I like, I knit it multiple times, too.

Enjoy your trip and your knitting.

Happy Mother's Day Kathy. Mother's day is a celebration for bossy pants moms everywhere! I love the shawl and the color is beautiful and so you! Glad to hear Fireman's birthday was a success.

My fur babies gave me perfume. They have good noses for such things!

 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...
