AL'S Berroco Vintage Oat Couture Heirloom Baby Blanket

By -
One lucky baby is going to get this soft and lovely blanket. Al brought it over so I could photograph it for the blog. Mouth getting less swollen, but talking for any length of time brings on discomfort. Liquids are starting to alternately get old, and taste fantastic. Yesterday's tomato soup by Campbell's tasted downright gourmet. What can I have for Labor Day BBQ? I see a spoonful of Sweet Baby Ray's in my liquids future. Any ideas for me?

I guess Steve was lucky with his grafts ... he was eating real food the third day.

Hope you are back to real food soon. It's terrible to miss out on good barbecue food.

Scrambled eggs with a bit of bbq sauce?

Do you like grits? (I don't) but maybe you could put a little bbq sauce on some grits?

BEAUTIFUL blanket!! I so admire those that knit blankets. I'll make a baby quilt in a heartbeat, but as slowly as I knit, and as limited as I am on patterns I can execute well, I'll stick to knitting socks.

Lovely blanket! I went through graft hell myself, a long time ago. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Hope you're up to better things, and soon.

Hi Kathy, so glad you stopped by. I love your blanket and you new little cat. I read back on your blog about the gum graft, I think I am heading that way myself very soon. Sounds painful and not fun at all. This is what happens when you brush your teeth too good. Yikes!
Have a great weekend,
Meredith

The baby blanket is beautiful. Great work Al! I too would choose rice pudding or plain vanilla pudding. Maybe you could soak some vanilla wafers in pudding and make yummy vanilla mush. Also, I'm one of those weird people who loves Jello, especially green Jello!

Glad you are getting better.

I know I ate those really small shoestring hashbrowns with gravy when I had dental work. I had a hard time opening my mouth at all.

LOVE that blanket. I've had an Oat Couture baby blanket in my sights since I was a new knitter. Not that one though, and I like that pattern too...

LOVE over-cooked mac 'n cheese sauce when my mouth hurts.

Good luck with the soft foods/liquids! I have jaw problems & am in the middle of a flare-up so are right there with you on the liquids! I had jaw surgery and was on soft foods for 9 months, so I completely understand getting sick of what you are allowed to eat!!

I loved mashing up baked potatoes with lots of cheese, sour cream and other little flavourful bits of stuff.

Hope you can start eating regular food soon!!

 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...
