Unexpected city visitors

I looked out the patio door one morning and noticed 2 male ducks following a female around. As soon as I got my camera and opened blinds, 1 male flew off. I am no where near a lake or river so the ducks were so out of place.






I am working on monthly dishcloth and started some socks using lime green Fixation yarn. The pattern is a nice little easy cable using no cable needle. Fixation socks just feel so good on the feet that I had to knit more.

Another Frog pond item

Well I got almost done with the summer tee and was to a point where I could try it on. YIKES! It was huge on me and I am no small woman...

Never fear I am reknitting it in the next size smaller. I am making good progress as I know the pattern now. I love knitting so it doesn't bother me to unravel and reknit.

Summer tee progress

Wow I am making good progress on my summer tee. I only knit on while watching tv at night or waiting at dr. office. The neck has to be picked up and knit after the body is knit and sleeves also. The neck seems huge. I sure hope it all comes together nicley.
The color is actually a very nice blue.

Easter Blessings

May our Lord & Savior bless your Easter. He is Risen! He died and rose again so that we might have life> Thank You Jesus!

It was a quiet Easter here. Our daughter and her family were here last weekend and our son came down today. We had a light meal of ham sandwiches and beans. :-)
We even had a little snow on the ground.

Good Friday dishcloth

I completed the Dishcloth of the Month and it is so timely as today was Good Friday. I knit it on size 7's with yellow sugar'n'cream.

The 3 crosses are a reminder of what Jesus did for us. He was the only one there on the hill Who could save us. Thank You Father for sending Your Son!

Junk hunting

Look what I found out on the curb! I saw it in the morning and said if it was still there when I came home in the dark, I would pick it up! My granddaughters are going to love it! There is nothing wrong with it....just a little elbow grease and soap won't fix. I don't normally dumpster dive but this was worth it and it was dark. heehee


I am making good progress on my Tee. Knitting in the round sure speeds up things. I was knitting in waiting room while my dad had eye surgery and all the girls who worked there came out to see it. They all said.. "look how even the stitches are!" I gal knits and another wants to learn so seeing something other than a scarf being knit inspired them.

Knitting a tee

I am attempting to knit myself a Tee for those cooler summer days here in WI. I am using the softest acrylic I have ever felt. It is King Cole Smooth DK. I am adding a purl row every 10 rows to give it a gansey type stripe, just for a textural effect. Knitting in the round is the best as I only hve to purl 1 row in 10. :-)

Big Animals

Hubby and I went to a nature center today and we were amazed at the size of these stuffed animals....my dear hubby is not a small man but the polar bear makes him small!!

My St. Patrick's Girl

My little Isabelle is part Irish!
Isn't she adorable?

End of storm

Well here are the same 2 shots as my last post. The storm is past. We ddn't get as much snow as they said but we had rain and ice in between. made for some messy driving conditions. Notice my garden flag is now not waving. But the sun is shining!

Start of snow storm-am

I took some pictures of the start of our second big snow storm this morning. The front yard and the back deck with snow left from last storm. We are supposed to get 6 plus more inches. The last one left us with 15".
