Life Is Good!

Scott's MRI was GOOD!!! Praise God! We are so very thankful. My dad took us out to dinner at Cracker Barrel to celebrate last night and, knowing I like salt water taffy, he bought this box of candy for me when I wasn't looking. I love the vintage picture. When the yummy stuff is all eaten up I think I'll save the box to keep bits of ribbon or something stored in. And every time I look at it I will remember the Goodness of God.

Thank You All for your Prayers and Well Wishes! Now ~ it's on with the last minute wedding preparations for us.....   See you all next week sometime.

Happily Ever After

Though I have been under the weather the last couple of weeks I did make it to a gala event last  night with my family. The daughter of my husband's life long best friend got married, so I HAD to be there! It was beautiful and fun and it was good to be out of the house enjoying an afternoon and evening of laughter and good times with family and old friends. Just thought I would show a few photos.|

Just remember I am still looking a bit pastey! Still not up to snuff just yet. I have my daughter Hilary's bridal shower this afternoon at the local library. She is a librarian there and her coworkers are having the party for her today. It will be a lot of fun. There's always something deliciously exciting feeling about being in the library when it is closed to the public! Anyway, after that it will be back to my flannel jammies! Hope you are all have a wonderful ~ and healthy! ~ weekend!

And we all lived Happily Ever After!

I Must Crochet!

When I blogged the other day about the rose colored silk shawl I have started crocheting to wear to my daughter Hilary's wedding this coming April I was having camera issues. Those have since been resolved and I now have a picture of my simple beginning to share with anyone who might care for a glimpse. Today's post will be short & sweet because, well.... I must crochet!

*I discovered there are a couple of errors in this pattern as well as a few others in this beautiful book {Crochet So Fine by Kristen Omdahl} but the corrections can be found in errata online.

Silk Shawl

This is my first post and I am sorry that I am having camera issues and am therefore unable to post a picture of the shawl I am currently crocheting for myself to wear to my daughter Hilary's wedding coming up in April. I am using a gorgeous 100% mulberry silk in a beautiful shade of rose that simply glides through my fingers. Silk is my absolute favorite fiber to work with whenever I get the chance. I love the feel, the look, the drape and ~ yes ~ even that unmistakable fragrance! When my camera issue gets resolved I will show the beginning picture of this beautiful shawl. I just started it a few days ago. The pattern is from Kristin Omdahl's fabulous book "Crochet So Fine". Until then....Happy Hooking!
Oh ~ and have a nice cup of tea.
