Easter Bunny

Happy Easter! Nothing better than bunnies made of chocolate :)

Squirrel

My favorite squirrel, Silver.
She's gone now, and was too quick for me to get a good photo. This photo is of her child, Tippy.

Good Friday

Bad day for Jesus; good day for all of us.

Daffodil

Today my family is visiting a daffodil ranch out in the foothills.

Full Moon

Tonight is the full moon. If you look closely at my knitting, you can see part of the Man-in-the-Moon's face.
The background yarn is a beautiful color called Plum Perfect, but it doesn't show up well in my photo.

Daughter's Room

One wall in my daughter's bedroom.

Cookie Jar

Mmm, cookies. The cookie jar is from World Market. I thought that the pink looked delicious!

Palm Sunday

Bible story of Jesus getting heralded with palm branches as he enters town.

Cigar

My husband likes a good cigar and a glass of port wine to start off his weekend.

Topiary

This silk topiary bush is in my house's entryway. I love all topiary; real or not!

Basketball

March Madness begins! Basketball season is underway.

Spring

Today is the first day of Spring. This is my Aristocrat pear tree, in bloom. When the petals fall, we call it "California Snow".

Birthday Cupcake

Happy Birthday to all of the March birthdays in the family:

Patty,
Daniel,
Johnny,
Kathleen

Grape Hyacinth

These little purple flowers grow by my front walkway.

St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Pat's! Top O' the morn to you all. Be sure to wear green today.

Stay Tuned:

I'm switching my post times to the morning after I knit each patch. The daylight is better for taking photos, and then I can start a holiday with an appropriate patch, instead of posting at midnight (if it takes that long!) Can you guess what I'm knitting now that will be shown in tomorrow's post?


Meanwhile, I leave you with this photo for today:

Little scarf

I've completed 2 weeks of patches for my scarf now, so I'm celebrating by knitting a little scarf on my scarf!
It's also the end of the real mini-scarf. I was spending too much time knitting each day, so I decided to concentrate on the real scarf.

P.S. the colors are much better in person than they are in photos :(
Grey, pale pink, pale blue, & pale yellow all seem to fade out in the photos - sorry.

Pi Day

Happy Pi Day! March 14 is known as 3.14 (in America), which is the number for Pi.
The schools are starting to celebrate it as a "holiday", to encourage kids to have fun with math.

Walking

My weekly walk uphill, with a friend.

Knitting away:

I had to laugh at this cartoon my daughter showed me. It's almost true! I plan my designs out on my iPad, using a wonderful app called StitchSketchLE.

Mixing bowls

New mixing bowls!
Now on sale at Costco :)

Tablecloth
