I finally finished the fabulous drop stitch scarf I started Easter weekend. I found the pattern on Ravelry.com and I am going to miss working with the yarn! So soft and pretty! Great American Yarns Superfine Merino/Silk. Way yum! I'm naming it the Nicki Scarf since about half way through I thought that it would make a terrific gift for my Aunt Nicki when we go to Santa Claus, Indiana to see them in June. I think the colors are perfect for her.
Now to think of something for Uncle Glen..... hmmmmm. Mich Ultra would probably do just fine :o)
I am also excited to report that the baby blanket I started making for a friend of mine out of Plymouth Jeannee yarn is confirmed, as of yesterday, to be the exact right colors!! Here's the link to when I blogged about it before. So thrilled!
Also, what a beautiful day here in Minnesota! Almost 70°! That's where the word glorious comes in today! Although I could do without the fuzzy stuff flying through the air and the box elder bugs who think my deck is a brothel! Oh, and Jesse (my son #5 or so) who lives across the street came home a couple of hours ago and I could also do without the thumping coming from his car in his driveway. We are not even that close and I can hear it from inside. Now I could text him and tell him to turn it down, but Jesse is one of my golden acquired children, so I'll let it slip this time.
Truly, I must be getting old when the base thump from across the street annoys my ear drums. Pretty sure that damage was done standing next to the stage at the Loverboy concert in Duluth when I was about 17 or so.
Yesterday was nice also, but I was working most all the day and then took my two youngest and the three neighbor kids over to Osceola to hike along the Cascade Falls path. What fun! So much blooming and growing along with some beautiful giant green leaf things and some type wildflower columbine that had tiny little flowers that looked a bit like fairies with dangly skirts. Going back up the stairs was still tough. I need to seriously work on that before the Warrior Dash in September!
It was fun to take the neighbor kids with. They hadn't been there before and thought it was fun exploring! On our way back, we took a great back road to Lindstrom that is like driving on a bit of a roller coaster. I asked the kids if they had ever heard of a Chinese fire drill. They hadn't, sooooo, at the next stop sign in the middle of nowhere, I introduced them to the drill! What fun! Of course, before we got to the golf course in Lindstrom to pick up Bryce, we had to do another one and one more in their driveway for good measure when we got home. Made me laugh!
Speaking of laughing, once we picked up Bryce we were talking about the nicknames Bryce comes up with for his brothers. Lately it's B-Nasty for Brock, whhaaaa???? We came up with B-Lo for Blake. Not sure it will stick. Bryce's nickname for Bradee is Latenight, 'nuf said there.
I asked the neighbor kids if their parents had any nicknames for them. As sweet as can be, from little Jesse who is in first grade and pretty much the cutest little girl I know, pipes up, "My mom calls me Stinky Butt!" I have to stop typing even now to laugh as it was so dang cute!
Gotta' run. I'm out of cold coffee concentrate and need to start another batch!
