*Photographs: outdoors or indoors?

Please join in.  The definition of a MEME is that it catches on....did you know?

My answers: 
I love to buy online. I think it is The thrill of waiting for it in the mail and the huge options.

Button placement and sewing them on....dread it. 

Pompom for the kids.  It just makes it so dang cute.

Electric blanket for the afternoon knitting when My bones are chilled through in this old house.

Travel: I love taking the tour.  Fireman does not.
It is a money thing for him.  I think our wild horse tour in the OBX convinced him of the value however.  

2016 Vacation plans: in the works

My outdoor photos are always ten times better than my indoor photos.

Cowl over scarf everytime.   Unless it is a Seamans scarf it is just too bulky.  For warmth, however, I'd pick the scarf over the cowl.

No LYS so almost all yarn shopping is done online
Weaving ends is a dreaded activity
Definitely NO pom pons
Down blanket - so cozy
I love to explore on my own whenever I can
Outdoor photos are much easier to take
Cowls are preferred over scarves - easier to manage and harder to lose

Awww, that little one is a cutie. I wanna squeeze her baby chubb cheeks. Your sister did a great job on that hat.
1. Because I am not the CFO here, I've cut down on yarn spending in which I only buy at STITCHES and during my birthday month. So I guess I'll have to say in-store.
2. I'm gonna choose button placement because I am horrible at resewing on buttons on my shirts and coats.
3. Pompoms are a MUST.
4. Down.
5. I can only say discovering on our own for now as we've only traveled CA local and not across the pond yet.
6. Oh boy, that hasn't even passed from our lips yet.
7. I tend to take photos outdoors now that we've moved b/c the scenery is more interesting.
8. I think scarf b/c I'd wear my Christmas gift scarf from my bro almost every day when we were in SF and in the house, I wear my infinity scarves all the time. My neck's sensitive and I get a stiff neck easily.

1. I'm an online junkie too. I used to be a mail order junkie back in the day.
2. I'm heming and hawing about sewing the buttons on Son's cardi right now. Hate the idea.
3. Love pom poms.
4. No electric, no down-ah choo. An Ikea duvet that is filled with polyester batting.
5. On my own.
6. No plans.
7. Outdoors
8. Cowl. I never know what to do with a scarf.

I love real stores and if I love a wool then I buy online only after seeing it in person. We have no plans as of yet for a vacation but to visit our daughter. I LOVE house tours and my husband HATES them. I try to get one a year in :)

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...
