Strawberry's & Fru Rosenlund

Yummy Strawberry's My mother-in-law bought some of these babies. First crop we have had from Cal. They were really tasty and juicy. II never really made anything with them cuz we kept just eating them up.

Fru Rosenlund has arrived. She is so cute. Yes I bought one all the way from Norway , from Ravenhill . I wish I could have gotten one of her birds too. They are so springy also. I was thrilled. Do ya like the purple fabric?? I think I am going to make bathroom curtains with it. Maybe I will crochet a edge at the bottom of the curtain. That is the plan. We will see.


Granny Squares, Granny Squares
To me they are very relaxing to crochet. Plus bright and cheery. what to do with them????I always seem to use cotton yarn when i make them. I think I am a Cotton holic.
Have A Great Day!!!!

Drop Stitch Scarf

Last year i went to the knitter's fantasy near where i live. Had a Great time. Well i bought this pattern. Well it came in a kit with different yarn.

Fell in love with the pattern. The yarn I used this time is Royal Bamboo from Plymouth yarn company. It is 100% Bamboo. SOOOOO VERRRRY soft. Slippery a bit. but really nice for this type of scarf.

Oh did ya see the fabric for the background???????

Amy Butler's Love design. LOVVE this fabric. What to make with it I don't know.

See my pretty babies.... Jewel is my Bichon Frise. She had a spring hair cut cuz well she loves to be outside . So hard to keep a proper cut Bichon in the spring and summer. But they have cute t-shirts on.

See the glass bowl to the left. That has their favorite treats in it. They were being so nice and patient, just waiting for a treat.

HAHAHA When are dogs patient for treats??????

BLOGS and DOLLS

I really think I spend way too much time visiting blogs. I usually don't post much. But what fun it is to step into someone else's world.

I just keep adding to my blog roll. So many wonderfully talented people.

Check out her site for these dolls. Okay so I am drooling. I love the fresh colors.

This women is very talented.

Have you ever seen these dolls???? My mother-in-law has a few sets of the stacking dolls. I have always wanted some.



My new book. I can't help it if I forgot to flip the picture. Oh well.
Very cool flowers. I would like to make some. But it calls for double sided fuseable webbing and also wadding. What the heck is wadding???? I have Webbing but it is only bondable on one side.
So what's a girl to do????
Make another trip to the fabric shoppe.
I hope everyone is safe and well. Stay dry for all those people getting dumped with a ton of snow.
