Goodness Graceness

The little Irishman guarding the Irish Soda Bread was given to me by Grace a ways back. Grace spoils me.


Grace was also my secret St. Pat's swapper this year. So here are the thumbless toddler mitts I am knitting with the yarn she sent. Inside the yarn ball you can see there are goodies.....
what do you See?????
Unlike some players, ahem,
I am not unraveling the entire ball of yarn to get at the goodies.....yet.
I am knitting my way through the yarn.
So far.

I have some questions for you:

Would you like a post about:

*My Irish family history ? this leads to a story about my Hungarian Immigrant relatives...
*Irish Music I like
*Irish Movies I like
*Irish Books I like
*none of the above......
instead, a Hungarian family story!

You might as well do all of the above, but being of hungarian decent myself, that part is particularly intriguing!

Your soda bread looks delicious!!!

So, have you come across anything in the yarn yet? The mitts look great. Grace picked a pretty color of yarn.

I'd probably be interested in all of the above!
Also, you have remarkable self restraint!
I would be unravelling like there's no tomorrow

I would like a post on anything you would like to share with us, and I would absolutely love that magazine. Are you sure you want to part with it?

I vote for the Hungarian story :)

 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...
