In my blog I plan to chat about nature, crafts, baking, gardening, beekeeping, family, and whatever else seems appropriate at the time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

TA DAH Moment and other fun stuff!


First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY VICKIE!!!! My Shug and I called her this morning at 5:30 and sang a lovely rendition of Happy Birthday on her cell phone.


And now for my first FINISHED PROJECT!!!!


Winston sacrificed the blankey long enough for me to put a border on it!


TAA DAAAAH!!!


It fits the bed.


I've probably got just enough yarn left to make a pillow or two.


So I'm working on pillows.


Then I'm going to get started on another blanket and get it done!


It feels good to finish something.

On the Italy trip.....5 day countdown!!!!!!

Getting excited!

I bought a new purse for the trip.

I had to.


This one is small, yet it holds everything. The wallet is part of the purse.
Lots of zippers, cross body strap, nice leather, my phone and camera both fit in it.

Perfect, I say, for Italy.


I've got my clothes packed for the first time. Now I need to go through them and take out about half of what I packed.


I'm working on my carry-on bag. I printed some fun crochet patterns. And I'm trying to decide...should I take the cheap yarn on the plane and just do piddly stuff and dishcloths and such, or should I take the more expensive cotton yarn and do dishcloths and piddly stuff and such. So the question is, cheap cotton yarn or a better quality cotton yarn? Decisions decisions.


I'm visualizing teaching people on the plane how to crochet. Well, we're going to be together for 8 hours....plenty of time to learn to crochet.


And FYI My Sister booked a ghost tour. Starts at 9:30 PM in Rome. It's called Dark Rome...kinda like Dark Shadows......I wonder if she told our parents yet? Probably not.

I wonder if she booked our room for the last night yet. Probably not.

  4. I never take small projects on a plane - because you can't take scissors on board, you can't easily change colours or finish off ends. So I always take something larger (for a long trip) that won't require any cutting!!

    Hope you have a wonderful trip ... you know Italy is one of the best places on earth to buy leather bags (leather anything really!); you'll almost have to buy yourself at least on more bag over there!

  11. Sister - Get that reservation made! If they know we don't have a place to stay they will overcharge us. THey'll say....Oh they NEED a place to stay...we'll charge them more because they are without a room.
