food, crochet, merriment
If you were anywhere near us around New Year’s I would have, no doubt, invited you…
to work on a lovely puzzle which was simply perfect for the occasion.
Happy people, fun food and fireworks.
Sounds like real life to me.
Heh, heh.
Happy New Year everyone!!
`
The whole darn family under one roof and alllllll at the same time.
This is what a full, happy, heart-full-of-love looks like.
Beyond this…there are no words.
At last…at last!
With hugs for absolutely everyone…
older…
and younger…
shorter…
and taller…
my crazy wanderers have returned.
My heart is filled to the brim and I can breathe more deeply now.
All are safely gathered in…
We’ve certainly gone to our share of Farmer’s Markets. When you’ve been around, you learn a few things.
If you’ve ever gone to a farmer’s market and smelled the flowers and homemade soap…
and tasted the apples and peaches and thumbed through the old books…
and sampled the 47 different treats that can be made with a pumpkin…
then you also probably also know that the best time to go to a farmer’s market…
is when the trees look exactly….like….this.
Everybody knows that.
Ask around.
In case you–like me–don’t get out much or wander around in the kiddie show section of your tv…let me introduce you to Miss Bitsy Boots of the Super Kitties fame.
Well, my sweet granddaughter “Miss C” asked me to make her a Bitsy Boots of her own. You know what I say…”ANYthing for you, my dah-ling!”
The pattern called for the fluffy chenille yarn and a big hook. The funny thing was that when I started crocheting–this thing quickly became ENORMOUS!!
I mean, look at those feet! They’re as big as my hands for Pete’s sake.
Each ear was bigger than my palm. It was seriously starting to scare me.
Then came the head. I think it’s adorable, but I happen to know that is bigger than Miss C’s head. I’m creating a monster!
A cute monster–but a monster none the less.
Luckily, Miss C didn’t seem to mind one bit.
Bitsy Boots, meet ahhhhh…meet…ahhhh…
Bitsy Boots two. Heh, heh.
Happy Birthday honey. Grammy loves you!
