Bzzzzzz…

I have a great little take along project right now…It’s called the BeeKeeper’s Quilt.  Designed and sold by Tiny Owl Knits, it is all the rage on Ravelry right now.  It’s a great way to revisit some of your favorite sock yarns (leftovers from socks or shawls) or just another reason to buy more… Here is the project photo from Tiny Owl Knits…

and here are my first hexi-puffs!

and yes, I have a looonnnggg ways to go…

Trying something new…

Read on a blog that Windows Live Writer was a great way to upload your blog…  So after much updating on my computer…I finally have it downloaded to try. 

This is after the 3rd clue of Westknits Mystery Shawl Kal  I’m really enjoying this knit…now I am to repeat clue 2 and 3 to make it a larger shawl…then will be ready for clue 4 next week…

Had a lovely couple of days visiting with Monte and Mom and hugging on my niece and nephew. I am so blessed to have my family and it was a special weekend.

A day of thrifting, surprise meetings and good food

What a lovely day...at Port A and the kids went to the aquarium. So I was on my own. With the South Jetty classifieds in hand, I took off for some garage sales and thrift stores. First one I stopped at was in the Lost Colony subdivision and I found some beautiful textiles...


A quilt piece, table topper and napkins, tea towel, and two darling mini stockings made out of quilts.
Then I headed back into town to one of the churches...they have a great thrift shop. Found a bit of bright fabric, DVD and VHS to leave here for the kids, some old candlesticks to craft with, a bag of yarn for 2 dollars. Heck there was alpaca in there... And somebodies cut knit and crocheted dishcloths.





Last stop I didn't find anything to purchase but ran into an old Hondo buddy Dana Pope. It was so good to see her and visit with her. What a nice surprise. Then before heading home I stopped at the Phoenix for lunch. It has been a long time since I've been and I wasn't disappointed! Yummy crab cake with aoli, broccoli and rice. Had creme brûlée for desert. Heaven.

August Break picture a day...

Just saw this on Betz White's Blog thought I'd play along...here is what she had to say
"Yesterday I was over at Susannah's blog and came across her concept of "The August Break". In her words:

"Okay, here’s the plan for the August Break: you simply share one photo (or more!) per day on your blog – Monday to Friday, or every day. Or whenever you feel moved to share. Using any camera – DSLR, compact, Polaroid, Holga, iPhone (my choice), Instax, film or digital – with or without words – anything goes! – for the whole of August. No pressure – just looking at August through your camera lens as a way to be more present this summer. And to have a little break from the pressures and expectations of regular blogging."
End of note from Betz..."

So I thought I would play...
