Making Monday


Nearly finished witch hat for daughter’s wedding reception costume in October. Much more to add to costume.
Nearly finished shortie socks for friend.

I may or may not have the chance to blog for the next couple days. I’m trying to be rugged and go camping. Close to home and family ready to come get us if it goes weird, or I’m too tired. My inner kid is excited.

Thus Thursday


Since it’s hot and I’m still having trouble getting up early enough to do the walk, I’m stationary biking and playing with gentle yogas

Yesterday’s bike brought these results

Today I yoga-ed to these

Since this morning it has been a knitting, game playing day. My newest addiction is

It’s gotten very hard!

We also binged on Wolf Pack and then School Spirit. Both on Paramount Plus.

Laundry Finally!


Nothing to wear. Wear something one more time. But no underwear motivated the chore I’d put off while in bed with fevers. Antibiotics are my friend right now. I finally felt I could do all my clothes! Yay! Still, this cartoon from Facebook cracked me up.

Finishing Friday


Well, look at that. Something besides knitting! LOL!

Then again, I did a bit of that, too.

Ready for the heel. Cotton. Of the cotton yarns, this has been nice.
Ready for heel. Fun on Flexee Fine-gauge looms.
These colors are more beautiful than the picture. And this is a wool mixture. But my hands aren’t happy with the fine yarn and skinny needles. So these might take a bit longer.
Decided to make a leftovers hat. I love this yarn. It feels like butter.
I have added and edited more. I’ve nearly met my goal. Yay!

I’d love to say I’d hit more piano than one song, but I still feel happy that I did what I did. Trying to keep it fun so I want to go back.

It’s soulful and pretty.

We just hit our 20th year married, 30 together. That should be considered an accomplishment! Still in love and laugh a lot!

We don’t wear rings, but love a good beach pic!

Finishing Friday


Oops! I was supposed to be finished with these  but I got distracted. Maybe by Sunday? I plan to make them low cuffs so about five rows of knitting, then five more of ribbing. Then I will give up on thinner yarns and needles. Oops! I still have the next pair. My fingers are saying, ‘Ugh!’
Still I love the colors!
This yarn is easier though a little boring. Still my allergic friends will like these better than the fun wools that I like. Getting ready to finish the heel. That’s the party I have to concentrate on. Lots of counting. I just admit the yarn and needles are much kinder to my hands.

I have a few other projects but the progress is even less than these. I’m wondering how summer will affect progress. With walks and biking indoors I’m moving more.

I am trying out my walking sticks. Who knew that could tire one out?

Simple Sunday


Velcro is too loud, but slip on Skechers do the job!

Thanks, Yvensong.

Thus Thursday


Though we got the indoor bike delivered late yesterday, we didn’t take it out of the box until today.

Outside of the moment it all went well. Then we couldn’t figure out why the seat had four holes for screws while the metal brace part had three holes. What? The four holes in the shape of a square did not line up with the three in the shape of a triangle.

I say ‘we,’ but Chris did the physical building, I just worried and supervised.

Then he saw the actual seat with the triangle holes and realized that other bit was the back rest. Whew!

All in all, it took a couple hours. Chris took his ride first. Then I did a couple miles in my living room. Since we didn’t take our walk today, I pictured our half mile turn around, so quickly arrived and repeated in my head. Imagine how far a mile would happen on a real bike!

When not in use it goes in my Dabbling Den. Yeah, another thing to block the piano. But on the right side the diamond painting area is not being used right now. The whole area needs a makeover.

Luckily, the wheels on the bike make it easy to move around.

I meant to mention that box of yarn tucked in under the keyboard of the piano.  Yay! Yarn!
From the driver’s seat, the front of the bike. Yes, that is Rosey’s food dish.

I’m happy to have the bike today. It was hot and humid. Then we had thunder storms. But that left a phenomenal sunset. Sorry it isn’t even close to what I saw.

Happy Thursday!

Usually when my long hair irritates me, I pull it back in a ponytail. Today it tickled me like I had spiders crawling on me. It was past my shoulders by 7 inches. I was trying to color it purple but the lower part just got dark brownish purplish muddy color. So it was time to cut it.

I was a cosmetologist in my late teens and early twenties. So cutting hair is fun. But it’d been a while. So I found a really fun YouTube video to get me started. Now I was unafraid to start.

Don’t mind all my projects behind me. Or all the wrinkles!

I like the light lavender. And I feel free! There are still a couple snips I need to do. And my husband has promised to shave the monkey strays on my neck tomorrow.

Undeniably I can say I’m ready for summer. But I will have to be diligent not to leave my newly exposed face, ears or neck parts uncovered. Sunscreen Unlimited!
