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?

Weaving project in the sun

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

Thoughts of family

Here is a picture of Princess S at her 1st Birthday. The lovely auntie holding her is my sister the Artist. The Artist and I have a lot in common. We both love museums, traveling, and exploring the city. We are peas in the pod. My other sisters are terrific as is my brother, Dad to Princess S. We are a pretty tight group. My mom taught me how to crochet when I was a tiny thing...I think she taught me so I would stay out of her hair for a while...poor mom! Mom was a master at creating Halloween costumes out of ordinary things. No plastic masks for us. I remember being a gypsy, a country singer, a 50s style girl and my favorite a flamenco dancer. In the summer we spent a lot of time in the library and the zoo. We spent so much time at the Bklyn. Botanical Gardens we knew the security guards by name. The Brooklyn Museum was our home away from home. So many great memories. With that Happy Mother's day to all of you out there. Spend time with your children and give them

Progress!!!!

You all were right! The fuzzy funky picture was of the Empire State Building from the West side of the city, around 28th street and 9th Avenue. Look at Chocolate!! I buckled down and worked on this all weekend..well I did stop to take a ride with Mister Hubby out to Ikea to see if we could find something to keep my linen in. No luck! It was very crowded and full of screaming kids. Poor kiddies! I did find this cool basket to keep my current work in process in. I normally use a small shopping bag, but the yarn would tangle. This is much nicer. I also reorganized my craft corner. My books and yarn were getting out of control! Lola's room is finished! A little house I made. It didn't come out too great..the next one will be better. This is the very first embroidery I made and kept for myself when I was about 13. I always gave away everything I made to my aunts and stuff. My mom taught me to sew when I was really little. Whenever someone would give me cast off clothing I would
