Jill's Shawl

My friend Jill's shawl is finished. I finished it on my quick trip to Atlanta. I had 15 hours to work on it. This was an easy garter stitch triangle shawl. This was the yarn I got from Storied Yarn  I love the colors. I hope this shawl brings her comfort. I love you Jill.

I must make another one I want one too! I enjoyed knitting this shawl. I love you Mom, Happy Mother's Day!

My Mother's Shawl Is Home!

The Shawl finally has a home!We had dinner at Chillies and gave it to her. All I had was my camera phone to take a picture, so I'll have to get a better pic from my mom. She has a good camera.

She loved it. So did the waitress. It made me cry. I can't believe how long it takes to make these types of shawls! I can't wait to make one for me.

The Shawl is drying!

Almost finished! It is waiting to dry! Ahh sweet bliss.
If you look at the falling leaves pattern on Ravelry, you can see that this shawl looks a little bit different.I thought I would add 10  knit st at beg and end. Something happend. Well either I added a stitch or something, but these leaves really look like they are falling. I think it is a neat looking mistake. I love it! I can't wait to give it to my Mom!

It Chose Me

The wand actually chose me!!! It was the first one I picked up to take a look at them, then I went over to ask which wand is mine she told Barry which one it was and it was the first wand I picked up. Amazing!!

Maybe I could get two wands and knit with them!

Soon this area will be open! Can you guess where this is? They had Butter Beer, and Hog's Head brew which was like a Scottish Ale. I can't wait to take more pictures to show you!

100th Post and Contest!!!! Projects Complete!!

 

Yeah they are done! I want to apologize to the contest winners for taking so long. I realized I wasn't going to finish the gift I am making for my Mom for Mother's Day, so I thought I would finish these magic wallets. Yeah, at least I feel better that I finished one project. Now I need to finish 3 more projects. I have already talked to the women I am  making the projects for and it is nice to know I am in no hurry to complete them. There needs to be 3 more hours a day at the end of the day! Wouldn't that be nice:)

And look what i found last night wee!

A Morning Sun Dog!

Look what i found this morning! Are they everywhere in Florida? There are cirrus clouds in the sky today, I may be able to see another one tonight! I want to apologize for not having the wallets sent out yet to the winners. I should have time to work on it this weekend!

Another Sun Dog

Here it is in Black and White! Can you see the Sun Dog to the left?

Here it is on the right side! This was taken outside of The Wyndham Palace at Disney. Epcot's Ball is toward the bottom left. It is the hump along the land line. My family and my sister Cindy's family stayed here for a day while she was in town. It was a very good weekend and some sister time as well!!

Barry gets the prize for seeing this sun dog! It started on the right side of the sun and then ended on the left side. The kids were excited about the sun dog. It lasted over 10 min. Thank you Barry for bringing it to our attention. It was an unforgettable experience for the kids!

Yarn Food and A Backpack

Yeah!! It is here. Grapes of Wrath!!! The picture doesn't do the beautiful purples justice. Thanks Jess!!

I got this beautiful skein from Storied Yarn  this is her blog. Here is her Etsy site. She does color ways of books and characters. I just love them because I feel as if the yarn is telling a story.

I know I should be finishing up another project, but I had to see how the colors look. This is going to be a basic Triangle Garter Stitch Shawl. I love it. The yarn is very soft as well. Thanks Jess!!

Well, if anyone lives near a Culinary School you should check and see if they do a buffet at some point during the year. At Valencia's culinary school their final exam was this wonderful feast!!

My wonderful friend Jill is one of the amazing students that attend this school. The food was amazing!!! I am not bias, but Jill's Tourane (I probably spelled Tourane wrong) was the best!! All of the food was super yummy!! Then they had a dessert room!!!!

This is another friend of mine (coincidentally) Janine. Yes I have two friends that just so happen to be attending this school. I kept asking Janine if she met Jill yet and I asked Jill if she met Janine yet.  After about a year they finally met. She is in the Pastry Dept. I was in sugar heaven!!!

Words cannot describe all the amazing foods I tried that day. Thanks Jill for inviting me and my Dad into your world of Culinary School. If you need to practice and need extra taste buds, I am here for you sister!!!

So my wonderful Hubby bought some backpacks. They were huge!!

So I was trying to figure out what we could possible put into these bags and how heavy could we pack them. Well as you can see.... these packs will hold children.

Only problem now is they want to ride in them every night now. Hmmm maybe I can make a new exercise video and become rich and infamous.

Wow Three Rainbows In One Week

Wow, I can't believe that I've seen 3 rainbows in one week. Can you see the double rainbow here? As I drove home you could see the end of the rainbow in the bushes. My son Austin said I was driving to fast and to slow down so that we could find the pot of gold. It looked like you could reach out and touch it. This picture was taken Wed. and the bottom picture was taken Thurs. I can't wait to see what the sky has to offer today. There are some clouds out...we will see!

You maybe able to see a tiny glimpse of a sun dog here. To the left. It didn't last long. The sky lately has been just beautiful. I wish I could spin the clouds into yarn and knit me up a sky blanket!
