If you read CAKESPY then you'll recognize this dessert. It has all the ingredients for me to succeed! You use a premade pie shell, premade cookie dough, funfetti cake mix, and premade frosting. 25 minutes at 350 then frost it when it is cool. We'll see. I'm bringing it to work tonight as a treat. Do you bring treats to work? I try to on occasion. It is one more thing to carry from the parking lot into the maze that leads to the NICU. But we all are thrilled when there is a treat in the lounge. FO soon! My prayer shawl. :) I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

I was searching for Barbie. You would think this would be easy. No. Barbie is not easy to find in a world of Disney Princesses and Hannah Montana everything. Not to mention Dora the Explorer and Bratz dolls. All of them have their place, but I needed Barbie. This neice is the 4th or 4 girls with a significant age gap between the rest. Hannah Montana was playing with Barbie when these big sisters were growing up. Disney had a Princess or two. And I believe Ken was still interested in Barbie then. Anyhow after a long search, I found some Barbie coloring books. They came with crayons. Real crayons that make color on paper and perhaps the table they are colored on. My sister still believes it is okay to have paint to play with. No water magic stuff that keeps the precious house perfect. She also believes in play doh. I love my baby sister for this. While I was searching for Barbie things, I found a connect the dots coloring book. You see, this is where my art habits wer...

This is the prayers shawl from sockyarns I have been stashing. These are my comfort colors. Blue jeans and bandanna reds. Garter. All garter. Using the square needles, and I've been really comfortable without any tendon pain. What's easy and doesn't roll? garter stitch What's take along anywhere knitting? garter stitch What's talk with a friend knitting? for me, it's garter stitch. If all I ever knit were garter shawls for a year would you keep coming around? What's something I can knit after a mind boggling, emotionally wrenching shift? Garter. Oh Garter stitch, I love thee. By nature Im wound up tighter than a drum, I don't need my knitting to be stressful right now. Garter is my summer theme. I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Lynn told me she wasn't sure how it was going to turn into a sweater as she knitted it up. She said she found a good pattern rewrite on Ravelry and just made the leap of knit faith. Adorable Lynn. Kudos to you for a marvelous baby gift for our mutual friend at work. I gave the new mom to be, a Walgreen's gift certificate. Useful, oh yes. Adorable, not even close! I'm not ready to be a leap of faith knitter yet. But I am working on my color confidence. At ColorJoy on Ravelry's suggestions I am looking at fabrics I am drawn to for more color knowledge. My favorite crayola's were cadet blue and poppy. I would never ever have picked the colorway Lynn choose for the baby sweater, and yet it is marvelous isn't it? So now that we've done the black and white question (all you dogs and cats are the best examples!) lets do the color question. What color has suprised you lately??? I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Went to son's school ceremony with duct taped and medical taped together favorite camera for now. Lost door to little balck thing that has the pictures on it. Tried to use other camera for prom pictures. Lucky everyone has cameras now. Mine came out awful . Now you couldn't take a bad pciture of this group of young adults dressed in tuxes and gowns at someone's house that has a pool that they all stood along, several gardens,, a long winding staircase that held 12 couples at once giggling and looking fresh and young and alive and its own stable on the :property. BUt I did. silver linig: other parents will share their gorgeous pics THEN, I began to eat pbj's and tell fireman I am seriously saving for new camera. Fireman says a few days later: "what if I just went out and brought a new camera home?" (we never do this kind of thing. NEVER') I said, "GREAT There is only one feature I have to have, with the candids." Then, later, much later that da...
