Spring!
This is a picture filled post--so hold onto your hats dear readers. Yes I finally got off my lazy butt and uploaded bunches of pictures from my Bert.
Happy Spring!! Thanks to all the rain--our blue bonnets are blooming better and we even have some in are yard. The mating trees have yet to cause me problems, but I know it's all a matter of time before my head explodes with goop. For now, I can enjoy the lovely bluebonnets.
I've been cleaning in preparation for my Mom and sister coming in a week and a half (gasp!)--but I have also been bad and spent a lot of time knitting. I finished a S.P.E.W. hat and started another (a yellow beehive for a preemie about 12 inches in circ.). My mom crocheted the rainbow beret (yeap that is supposed to be a beret) and the green one is my creation. The bumps are knit stitches knitted three more times through the back and the knot on top is an I-cord tied in well a knot. I think they're definitely wacky enough to qualify as S.P.E.W. worthy.
For those who care: It was knitted on size 6 needles and it was my own pattern knit with Red Yarn line green acrylic yarn.
My socks are going along well. I am actually three inches more along than the picture shows...I have got to a weird pooling section, but it adds interest I think...I want funky socks. BUT the weird pooling section is in the bit of the sock I knitted AFTER I took it's picture. Anyway--I am quite proud of my sock--even though I have no idea when it's supposed to end--I still have plenty of yarn left.
That's my knitting pics--I still need to take decent pics of my Dad's finished scarf, but I need the right light and a model. I should get both this Saturday. I have also been working on a lace scarf and a present for a Phisto that is still very very late and might have to be used next winter. SIGH. I suck as a friend.
Now if you tire of endless kid pics, leave now, because I have 5 coming up...I am loving on Lorelei--so no new pics of Micci. BUT I do have a funny Micci story--just for my sister, who thrives on silly kid stories. Micci always reminds me to make sure I remember to fill up his and Lorelei's morning milk cups. If perchance I forget--he gets very disappointed in my "behaviour" and shakes his head (he'll be a great parent). Anyway, last night Micci drew me a picture on his magnetic sketch board of me pouring milk into two empty sippy cups, with the lids off to the side. Funny though the cups were bigger than me. It was a cute picture, but I forgot to snap a picture of it before Lorelei erased it this morning. Now onward with the gratuitous pictures of Lorelei flying and blowing on grass.

Did I mention there are 121 more days till the new Harry Potter book? I have been spending so much time on the Harry Potter forums, I have begun to dream about Snape. I have been reading a very good discussion pondering Snape's loyalties. Thankfully Phisto is coming to my rescue and is sending me books to give me something else to read and focus on. I finished listen to the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince CD and yeah I still sobbed at the end.

Okay. That's it. I need grandkids. To hug, to say how cute they are, to knit cute stuff for. Since my oldest and her husband are planning on adopting, I may get a phone call any time saying, Hey Grandma, you're a grandma! Or it may be awhile, I just don't know. But thank you for letting me borrow a moment with your kids and your flowers and your knitting, and for the smile they put on my face. Happy spring!
