Babies and Things

 Speaking of babies, here is tiny Pie at 7 months of age.
She will sit with Troy and Zach but rarely sits with me!
I have to remind her I was the one in her adoption corner....
ahem. 
 Great friend Linda who got me working in the OR at the shelter, made this baby shower fruit platter Sunday.
I know many of you have seen it, but she said it was very easy to do.
Everyone at the shower loved it. 
The lavender cabled baby blanket that I made a month or so ago, was my gift.  
Everyone loved it too!!
AL wanted a Thanksgiving wreath and asked me to 
shop at our great local Holiday Craft Fair at the Grove.
I found this beauty.  IF you live near me, the Grove fair is always  great, but seemed full of extra good things this year. 

So that was my weekend.!!!  I love being off to go to showers and watch football with my guys at home. 
And there was knitting too!

Do you have a local holiday craft fair that you wait for each year?

I would love to go to the Grove Fair!! It has been years since I have been to any holiday fairs so I think I'm about due. My weekend was all about football. The guys decided it was more important than golf so I didn't get a chance to watch my recordings of Haven and Revenge. Tonight is my TV night!

That fruit tray is the cutest thing I've seen for a baby shower! I love it.

Your wreath is beautiful.

Love that watermelon ....too cute.

We have craft shows around here in the fall, but I haven't been in years! I hate crowds.

That's a lovely wreath.
There are a couple of craft shows in my area around our Thanksgiving in October that I used to try to hit - haven't been able to for the last couple of years though.

Mmmm....that fruit baby looks yummy. We have several big craft fairs here but I never go to them since my house looks like a craft fair most of the time. I pity whoever has to clean this place out when my time comes.

Wow, I've never seen a melon baby before. I really like it! I want to make one without a baby reason. I don't have an annual fair I go to, but I'm always happy to stumble across one...

Sounds like a fun weekend! That melon salad is adorable. We had a good weekend also, DD#1 was in town.

Ha! Cats are such ingrates. Theo is definitely MY cat, even though I remind him that it was actually my husband who picked him out at the shelter. But it evens out, as the cat I had before we got married has decided that even though I rescued her, she prefers my husband. :)

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...
