Princess Kisa turns 2....






Baby Girl Kisa turned 2 on May 8th.
She is such a prissy thing.
But - sometimes she does not like to have her pictures taken..

I love you baby girl!!

April showers bring May flowers and new guests...











Just a couple things around the yard and new guest in one of my birdhouses..
I love this time of the year!!

Birthday celebration with my Girlies!!













Last Saturday- my bestest girlies took me out for the day. It was so pretty out!! Jeannie, Dawn and I met at Pannera Bread at 10:30 for a Brunch, then I got to open gifts from them both. They spoiled me. Jeannie gave me the Scottish Highlands Knit Book snd made me a beautiful card and 2 flowers and Dawn gave me a notepad, kitty stickers, a ankle bracelet for the beach and a beautiful fair isle hat, The Siena Hat, that she had made. They over did it!!

Then on to some LYS in Greensboro that I had not been to. Needless to say - THIS AND THAT in Greensboro is my kind of shop! I bought a pattern and di.vi` Fiamma in a beautiful bue and teal combo to make the Cropped Raglan top, and 2 skeins each of Paca-Paints (100% Superfine Alpaca) in #404 Moonlight and #405 Playful to make something just Prissy!! I also bought a beautiful top as well as they sell not just yarn, but clothes and jewelry and handbags too!! The owner was so sweet and friendly and very helpful!! I will go back very very soon!! We did stop at 2 more, and I got The Second Treasury of Magical Knitting to make kitty beds.

To end the day, a stop at Cold Stone for Chocolate Ice Cream with Butterfinger - my fave!! It was so nice to sit outside and relax!

I had such a great time! Thank you both for my Special Day!! I love you both dearly!!

What am I working on??





I have to say I am IN LOVE WITH SUBLIME!!
Right now I am woking on "Shell" from the Sublime organtic cotton dk book. I love this yarn and have used in on several things....
I am almost done with the front and need to put on the neckband and stitch up sides. It is SOOOO soft!!
