Feet and Flowers


This is a Notecard from the Roman Holiday Series.  You can find it at the Ellie And Ada Etsy Shop.  I love my cat figurine.  It was a lucky find at a second hand shop a couple years back.  I actually got myself this print on a tote bag from my Society Six page.  I love it so much and use it everyday.



Was going to do a granny square with a lot of sock scraps.  I stopped here a long, long time ago.  Laziness and uncertainty got the best of me.  I don't know if I want to knit/crochet another wool blanket.  I do love the look of an auld granny square, not going to lie.  What do folks do with sock yarn scraps?  I've knitted log cabin blankets with mine.  I might make a Lifesavers Cardigan with some of the sock yarn leftovers.  It is another Tanis Fiber Arts cardigan.  I mostly knit worsted/Aran or 4 ply yarns.  In Ireland, you pretty much need some sort of sweater or cardigan all year round.



The flowers are my pansies from last year.  Hardy Soldiers, I think they're going to be just fine this Spring.

Going to work on some soup and finish off a present of socks.  If you are a sock knitter and want a really handy chart of all the shoe sizes.  This way, at least this is what I think, if you know their shoe size, you can figure out their foot in inches or centimetres.  In my experience, it is hard to get people to measure their feet.  Funny but true!

Sketchbook Page and Soup



It's lashing rain here.

I woke up at half 6 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep.  Went downstairs, made scrambled eggs with onions and spinach with some Cajun spice.  Had the scrambled eggs and a cup of coffee and watched some episodes of Cheers on the couch with Lexi.  Haven't had scrambled eggs in ages.  I am not really doing the Auto Immune Protocol Disease Diet at the moment.  We'll see what happens....



I spent the afternoon sewing a tote bag.  I used fabric that I bought in NYC a long, long time a go.  I am hoping to have enough to make a shirt for myself.  I'll have to take some photos.  I took it out for a test run - on a walk with Lexi and then to the shop.  It's now hanging up to dry.  We got drenched!  Poor Lexi didn't look impressed with rain but she is now almost dry and cozy after her dinner.  I need to make mine.  (I wonder did I write about all my other meals today because I was thinking of my own dinner!)

The above picture is an image from an old sketchbook.  I love line drawings the most.
