Spring is near...


These lovely tulips were the center piece from the Autism Project of Rhode Island Bittersweet Fundraiser where my sister-in-law Roberta received the Alice Oster Award. The award is given to one organization each year and a parent/professional who do exceptional work for our community. Atta'gril Bert!

Socks!

I am using the Plain Old Ragg Socks pattern from the book, Never knit your man a sweater unless you've got the ring, I do have to ring but...plus ten years of marriage...I guess I'm a little behind, huh? SHHHH, don't tell him!

Socks for my Sweet...
I have turned the heel! Now it's time for the gusset, I am not sure I can hold my breath that long! I caught myself holding my breath the other day when I was working on the cable row of a scarf, it's not conscious, it's the fear of dropping a stitch!

Fenway Park, static electricity and crafts...

Remembering the good old days, on top of the Citgo sign...





We actually powered our laptop for two hours with all this electricity!!!!


Scrapbook for school...

And a hat for Bert, I blacked out her eyes to conceal her secret identity and her mouth for various other reasons...for those who know her , you know why....LOL!!!

I have more to post, so stay tuned, until tomorrow...

Valentines with Gracie..

After...


My niece feels it is important to be prepared, I could use some of that...



One of these things just doesn't belong here, one of things just isn't the same...which one do you think? (hint: look closely at the pen, you may have to click the picture to see it, you wouldn't guess I was a photography major, huh?)
