Of Calendars and Corn

By -

Darn! Men With Yarn Calendar.  Have you seen this Calendar?   Do I have your attention? Happy Monday!


 Have you seen the movie Fabulous Fashionistas?
It is a wonderful interview with 6 amazing women who are redefining aging.  
Find a copy and watch it.....it is a gem. 
 I played around with the Take Me With you Bag Pattern yesterday. If I really decide to knit one, I have to find a yarn equivalent. 
She used cotton, and I know that will make my arm hurt.  

I made my own confetti corn last night as a side dish. 
I browned the corn on the stove with a bit of oil.  This took a while but brought out a nice flavor.  I then added a can of tomatoes and jalepenos.  
Mmmmmm.  Twas good. 

If you get a choice today, 
Choose Happy!

Why couldn't the bag be knit with acrylic? I'd think cotton would stretch and be very heavy when it got wet, and we know that bags get wet.

That is the funniest calendar I've seen in a long time!
I have wanted to make a cotton bag for some time now, but I think I'd have to knit a little at a time to keep the yarn from hurting my hands.

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...
