This and that

Peek a Boo!!


So here is little Mimi..that kid won't stay still long enough for her Meema to snap a picture...I'd forgotten how wiggily babies are!

So am working on my weaving. Am almost done with my bus knitting, a shippo scarf. I tidied up my corner in the basement and found loads of yarn I'd had totally forgotten about!

Last weekend hubby and I took a walk through the city. We passed by the Museum of Art and Design. We didn't go in...we did go into the American Folk Art museum. They had a few quilts that were very nice. One in particular made me laugh out loud..it was made out of coin condoms...very funny. They also had a nice collection of old 1900s carousel horses.

Here is a cool building...


The exhibit at the Museum of Art and Design.

We ended our night with a meal at the Lederhosen. A pretty decent german restaurant on Grove street.

My son Chef came down from Boston. Here he is meeting his niece...


well..that is pretty much it for now...am just busy busy at work. Am hoping to steal time to work on more projects.

Until next time...Enjoy!

Boy I never took pictures of my grandkids when they were babies ... probably because I was too busy holding them. lol.

She's so pretty. Are you having fun with her? Did you ever think you could love someone as much as a grandchild?

Can you Habu?

Image
isn't it pretty?? A-129 in Ice Blue...the only thing that I don't like about Habu Yarns is the yarns don't have names...just numbers. It is a nice combo of 90% wool and 10% nylon. Am using honking big needles and will make a cool wrap/scarf. I love the color...very pretty blue. I am feeling better a little tired. All results are in...everything was benign (sp? can't spell right now) Am taking iron pills and vitamin c to help my body absorb the iron. Have gotten lots of rest. I've been a total slacker at work. I still get in at 6:00 a.m. but I leave between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. I started weight watchers yesterday. I just need to lose a little weight and am looking into the New York Health and Raquet club for exercise. Lola bird will be going for nice walks with me. What is up with the weather in NY lately? It is cold out. I put a jacket on to go to the Dr. I was cold! Have a great day! Enjoy! Marie

Oh Yes Mr. Postman!!

Finally Friday...It is really Friday! This was the longest day in my life. Oh hecky yes I really didn't think I'd get through the week. Enough moaning! Mr. Postman, my favorite man in the world, brought some beautiful yarn to the cottage on S.I. I think I will set myself up with some delish Margaritas and start working on a new shawl. Is it for me or maybe a Christmas present...well time will tell! Here is the very delicate icy yarn draped over my dining room chair waiting to be rolled up. The yarn is so soft I can not wait to start in...oh boy! Good thing the Lola Monster isn't around...she loves to snatch yarn and run around like a maniac. There she is looking to see what to grab..hmm cake? Bag of yarn or finished shawl.. Enjoy the weekend! Marie

Weaving project in the sun

Image
Hello! It was a wacky crazy horrific week at work! There wasn't too much time to work on projects. I am working on one new baby blanket and of course my Weaving II project. Here is the inspiration picture along with the work in progress. A sunny spot full of the yarn I am using. Light blues through black with a tiny touch of yellow as an accent color. The warp is a light grey tencel. The weft is a mix of yarns. I have yarn from Habu there as well. Thank you for the nice comments on Hubby's garden. It has come a long way since we moved in. Here is a close up of the Dogwood flowers on the west side of the house. Enjoy the great weather! Hugs, Marie
