Dress UP

By -

 

I loved to play dress up .  Did you?  My Allison loved to play dress up as well.  I know a little girl who would like this for dress up.  I decided to add the flowers to the leaf shawl . I hope her momma will take a photo of her goofing around in it and send it to me, 


My little garter shawl is going slower now.  You know, the rows get longer and the knitting slows to a crawl.  But it is great knitting for when you are watching TV .  Come Thursday I will be knitting while I listen to the Cubs.  The Marqee network continues to make it impossible to watch the Cubs in Wisconsin.  This is beyond aggrivation. I am grateful for the radio .  Once it warms up, me, my knitting and my radio will sit on the screen porch and enjoy the Cubbies.

Also in the works, 7 of us who are friends from our McDonald crew circa 1970s, are having a masters contest.  We had a blast working at McDonalds back then.  The years have made us all closer.  It is pretty amazing.  Several of us married.  When I think of fun in my teens, I think of Mcdonald's.  We have seen each other through some tough, grow up times.  I feel very lucky about this.   Does anyone else still visit with friends from a high school job?   

We got our second boosters today and I am thrilled.. It was easy to navigate the process  on line and Walgreens had no wait for us.  Do you have a place you go to because of the customer service? 

No little shoots to show you.  No flowering trees. We are hoping for some 60s and 70s and that ought to coax out the blossoms.  All of you who are posting glorious spring trees and flowers please keep it up .  It makes me excited for that to be our sights very soon .

Both of our girls liked to play dress up, and so did I. I think my granddaughters do, too. Shawls are kind of slow projects, aren't they? I love to listen to NPR in the evenings and knit. It's so good to see you posting again!

I remember having a pair of sparkly plastic toy high heels. So I'm guessing I did play dress up. But I don't remember any clothes. Maybe I just had play fancy shoes. LOL

How fancy! I loved playing dress up too.
My high school job was working in a Fotomat so it was just me. The Mister worked in a McDonalds and still talks about the fun he had.

I played dress-up often as a child. I especially loved high-heeled shoes.

Yesterday, we finally reached 60 with sunshine, and I had a nice long walk. I saw lots of buds on trees and lilac bushes, and I'm seeing more and more crocuses and daffodils in sunny beds. It gave me hope. Hang in there; it's on its way for you, too.

Ooh yes, dress up was a favorite activity of mine. I had some two-toned, stewardess high heels I loved wearing.

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 have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
