July Socks

Good grief and it isn’t even the 12th hour on the last day! I’m done! This pair is another from Charlene Schurch’s Sensational Knitted Socks. In fact it’s the same pattern I used for a pair a few months ago. My friend Joyce saw that pair and really wanted a pair of her own only in blue…


So there you have it…..the yarn is Fleece Artist again from Tidal Brook Yarns. The pattern is an openwork rib and if Joyce wasn’t my best friend I would keep these socks for myself….

Now to get ready for SAM4…..

Wow!!!

My secret pal Janette has spoiled me once again and in a major way. Just look at what was waiting for me when I came home last night.

Can you believe it? Look at all that yarn…..holy cow! And Burt’s Bee’s hand cream (one of my very favorites) as well as their yummy smelling lemon cuticle cream. Two bars of Lavender soap and this amazing soap called Dirty Girl….which I used this morning and is now my all time favorite!

And then there was this:

**big grin** my friend Diana also from Australia had tried her best to convince me to try some. But I resisted…..but guess what I had for breakfast this morning? Ok….I managed a half piece of toast….but I did try some. It packs a real punch but I understand why so many Australians swear by it. Heck it's nothing but Vitamin B….it’s (pungent) energy in a jar, and if Americans could just get past the strong and slightly bitter taste it would be very beneficial…..but boy that stuff is stiff!

Also along with the goodies came a lovely letter telling me about her home and her family….She really sounds wonderful.

Thank you so much Janette….you really did spoil me!
