Feeling Spoiled

 A little child's hat
 Mardi Gras This and That
Living like a Fat Cat


I finished the little hat last night. 
Have to say I love that yarn: Eurobaby's Maypole
It feels so soft and smooth when it is in your hands.  I'd buy it again for sure.  

I should have shown you the private pool picture yesterday, 
when I told the story.  It is just as wonderful to look at it again today.   I took advantage of my super short hair and swam in the ocean and in the pools every day on vacation. 

oh and there was Key Lime Pie…

As I read this, I was eating Key Lime Yogurt and thought "this is not the same as eating Key Lime pie!"

Love the private pool photo. It is a fantasy vacation of mine!

I have to say having shorter hair has freed up my time in the morning. I am loving the style each and every day and I think I look younger. Love the private pool :)

The pictures have been great Kathy. Love the fun times you share. I'm glad you and the Fireman had a great time. Well deserved :) Knitting on vacation is the best. But don't be angry, not a fan of key lime pie since I was a teenager.

Glad you had a good get away sans snow. There's nothing quite like key lime pie in FLA. Yum!

What a cute pool. I would have gone swimming every day too (even if I didn't have short hair. LOL)

I was in France today (EPCOT) and had a wonderful lemon tart. Must be something about Florida and citrus. They just go together SO WELL!

I didn't know things like private pools existed. I need to get out more.
Adorable itty bitty hat and as for that skeleton with the beads-too funny!

That's right, rub it in ... private pool ... Key Lime pie.... Meanwhile it's freezing in Wisconsin. Some people have all the luck. :)

Hope you're having a great time. That hat would go rather well with a certain little vest I saw on Meredith's blog. ;)

That skeleton reminds me of the scene in Patch Adams, "Donner Party of..."

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...
