Friday Fun

By -
 Having old friends for Chili and a campfire tonight.  Flowers make a house look so amazing don't they?
Here's my shawl.
Coming right along.
No issues now that I'm using a yarn that's friendly.
As Marguerite says, this is a hobby right?
No need to use MEAN yarn.

PRODUCTS THAT WORKED FOR ME THIS WEEK:

Now that Beatles and Tank wrestle daily, Bea's coat is a bit smelly at times.  I found some  I PET HEAD DRY CLEAN spray.  It makes Bea smell wonderful.   Found it at Target.

Speaking of DRY shampoos, no one had a good review for me when I was asking.....
and guess what?
I found one that works----  Salon Grafix Invisible Dry Spray Shampoo .  Found it at Walgreens.

My NOOKA watch band got really dusty in Yosemite on our horseback riding trip.  It is white. I went to the website and they said to use a pencil eraser to clean it up. It worked like a charm.

Finally, I'll plug another bloggers soaps and lotions:  Bird Bath Essentials by Robin from the Robin's Nest are lovely.  I am using sea salt and lotus blossom on my already dry hands.  It has a very mild scent.  Robins hosting a give away....head over there and enter her contest...

Happy Friday

If you'll sprinkle just a bit of cheddar cheese on the top of the chili, I'll sit by your fire and enjoy it and the conversation.

I'm with Nancy; love cheddar in my chili and cornbread on the side.

And I've yet to find a dry shampoo that works, so I'll see if I can find that one.

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 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...
