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!

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.

I didn't dress up so much myself, but, man, I loved dressing Barbies!

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

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...
