Random Newsy Stuff

Spring is here. Yay! My flowering Cherry is in bloom. It has 4 small bunches of flowers on it. Not as good as last year, but I'm not complaining. At least it's blooming. My daffodils are in full form too. These ones were planted the year we moved here. We had a huge bulb garden. Unfortunately, the deer thought it was their personal smorgasbord. The only thing they didn't eat was these daffs. We planted grass and turned the bed into part of the lawn. The daffs survived and are 25 years old now. I admire their persistence. This past week I've been working on a baby cardigan for the next layette set. I got an idea to make it look like a lettermans jacket. It requires knitting in Intarsia if I want to knit from the top down and have no seams to sew. Haven't done Intarsia since I had my shop. I'm happy with how it's going so far. I had intended to do a Caturday post yesterday, but my plans were altered. So I'll post the pics of my kitties now instead. Chenil...

You know, shower curtain, window valance, towels, rug. Got rid of the pink now that the youngest is off to college. I decided I needed a navy blue rose bud toilet tissue cover. It required I use my crochet skills. Pattern : Tissue Cover from Annie's Crochet Newsletter Jan/Feb 1992 Made For : My house.
