It's a frogs life

 

These are the words I live by. 

(Or at least I would like to.)

 

 



finished

I finished my socks a few days ago.  It's the first pair that the stripes match.  I started an afghan, but I really don't like the pattern so it's coming apart today.
Aside from that I'm just sitting at this dumb computer and wasting time.  Think I'll do for a walk.

See what I'm up to.

 

I just started these socks.  I picked up the yarn at Unraveled Sheep Yarn shop at 20% off

Because it's my birthday month and they offered a discount.

His sign says "Dis Zombie Luvs Uz"

He wanted to live with Rachel.  So he moved into

her room.

This is a Queen Ann's Lace shawl.  I pick up this yarn along with

the sock yarn for my birthday.

This is Rachel's little dog, Grizz.  He is my ever present

helper when I'm trying to crochet.  He gets his tail (that curls

over his back) tangled in my yarn and then walks away.

I yell, and he looks at me like, "What!  Did I do something.

I think he just loves my attention.

Edgar Allan Poe

El Dorado
by Edgar Allan Poe
Gaily bedight, A gallant knight, In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, In search of Eldorado. But he grew old, This knight so bold, And o'er his heart a shadow Fell as he found No spot of ground That looked like Eldorado. And, as his strength Failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow; "Shadow," said he, "Where can it be, This land of Eldorado?" "Over the mountains Of the moon, Down the valley of the shadow, Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied,-- "If you seek for Eldorado!" This is my favorite poem.  It was quoted in the movie "Eldorado" staring John Wayne, Robert Mitcham and James Caan.

Work on UFO's

I have spent the last week working on UFO's.

There are still a bunch of them in the basement.

But this was a start.

I started this sweater about 6 months ago.  It's a big round doily that became a sweater vest.

I think it turned out cute.

This is a baby afghan and hat for the U of U Medical Center

newborn intensive care unit.  I'll make some more to go with them.

I started this back in April.

This is a hanging towel, coaster set and dish clothes.

I forgot to put the one that is alone in the picture.

This is a couple of coasters and a bunch of dish clothes.

These are some doilies I sent to a friend.

The rest of these were just for fun.  I love to make doilies

between bigger projects.

I love the colors the thread comes in.

I had a very productive week.

Life is good here in Utah.  It's been hot, but today is just another beautiful summer day.

A trip to the zoo

This is Lexi and MaKenna.  Chris and I were their "Adult"

guides.   We went with The Dancing Moose school.

I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would.

We liked the elephants

This is the Polar Bear.  He was loving the swim.

This was the seal, but the picture didn't turn out very well.

It was a lovely day in June.  We got to ride a bus and everything.

Chris and I went to lunch afterwards.

Is it hot enough for you?

OMG!  Utah is on fire.  With the wind, and the hot tempretures, and the dry winter Fires are all over the state.  There were 6 new ones just this morning.  This is one thing about Summer that I don't like.
