Banana's and Granny

The House Smells Wonderful. Don't ya just love the smell of fresh baked bread?



I used good ole Betty Crocker's Banana Bread recipe. Plus I added some Chocolate Chips ( 1/2 Bag) and some raisins.
I just love a slice for breakfast. Would you like one???? Plus a cuppa tea???
Check out my granny square blanket i started 1 week ago. I am in love with it. So many colors. I am using alot of my left over yarns. Like Vanna Choice, Lion Brands yarn, Simply Soft, some wool, Cotton ( of Course) . I even threw in some mohair type yarn. Just a great mixture.

This is my older Violet. I have had this one for about 4 years. I really like the varigation in the flowers.

Knitter's Fantasy 2010

Yes I went to Knitter's Fantasy last Saturday. I stayed maybe 1 hour got sick and had to leave. But boy did I buy yarn. There is a company called Autumn House Farms they have a silk rayon blend that is to die for. $14.00 a skein. but ohhhhh i love it.

Check this one out. There is 12 different yarns . WOW!!!

Then I bought this little llama loofah that smells Divine.

Check out there site if ya have time. I would love to visit there farm someday. http://autumnhousefarms.com/ . This the yarn . So nice I already started knitting there shawl pattern that i got last year.

This one only has 2 different yarns. but very pretty i think. There are a few more yarns but well i am saving them for later.

I wish I could have stayed longer, but to be honest I ran out of money. So easy to do when you just love yarn. I had to feel every skein that I liked.

Then they had the http://bagsmith.com/ lady's there. I don't know why but this link is not working I know they also have a BagSmith you tube channel . Plus they are on http://ravelry.com. They are so friendly.It's all about the Big Stitch. Very Cool looking. I would love to try and do something with these.

Gonna Go for now

Have A Great Day!

HAPPY EASTER AND PEACE TO ALL

Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays. My first Daffodil. They really are very pretty flowers.

My mother in law bought me 3 new plants. I REALLY have a thing for VIOLETS. Plus she bought me a purple passion plant. I have the best mother-in-law.

Spring has arrived. The buds on trees and bushes are everywhere. I can't wait to start hearing the spring peepers around our little creek.

Have a Very Blessed Easter.

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!!!!

Marsala Chicken & Disney Fleece

Love Marsala Wine and Chicken and mushrooms and rice. YUMMMMMY!!! Very simple but soooooo good. Have ya ever tryed cooking with marsala wine. Strong smellin stuff. But I love the flavor when it cooks down. I am not much of a wine drinker, but I do like to cook with it sometimes.
We have had such lovely weather here in ohio. temp's in the 60's. I am so happy spring is this weekend.

I made my sister in law a little fleece blanket from the Disney characters . She just loves cuddling up in it.Sweetie Pie was being silly. I will have to take a picture of her in her new t-shirt next time.

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??????
