Living and crafting between the hot flashes

WIP Wednesday

Pictureless post.

I ripped out the Fetching mitts a few weeks ago when I ran out of yarn and started them on Monday.  I’m ready to bind off the first one then start the second one.

I figured out why I ran out of yarn even though I had more then the recommended amount.  I repeated a cable section.  Yep, that would do it.

I’m not going to promise pictures as I don’t always come through.

Speaking of which…I did repair and finally finish the dresses for E&Z while I was at their house last week.  I did not get pictures of the dresses, E&Z, or E&Z modeling said dresses.  By the time everything fell into place, it was too late for a photo shoot.  I had to leave early the next morning for the second part of my trip to Zanesville.  Perhaps my daughter will take some pictures for me.

And there was knitting in Zanesville!

Roll call

Hey, I’m back!  More on my week off later.  I wanted to share this with you today.

I received these from my sister last week.  Not sure where they traveled to as she mailed them on July 1.  They arrived at my house on July 12 which is only 185 miles away.

This is what I was using for double points and regular straight needles:

Pitiful.

Do I have the BEST sister?!

Thank you, Jude!

Mint Juleps

Some friends stayed at our house a few weeks ago to attend a wedding.  They “thank-you” gifted us for our hospitality with a bottle of Mint Julep and some fabulous cheese knives.

We treated ourselves to mint juleps after dinner last night using this wonderful concoction, fresh mint, crushed ice and bourbon.

Utterly refreshing.  So elegant even in regular glassware.  With grocery-store-bought mint.

I really needed to feel refreshed and elegant after the week I had.

We sipped our mint juleps on the front porch as the pinkness of the day turned into the dusky evening.  We watched the lightning bugs and the fog appear.

Thank you, Leah!

Have a fabulous weekend!
