May Day!

 We were traveling on May Day...we managed to get a few May Baskets to the neighbors and to a little guy for his first May Day.   More baskets will be delivered on May 2nd....not quite as special but better than a kick in the butt.

We did May Day one day early with our "Greats" 

Baby K finally has some teeth and instead of Candy she got soft baby treats. 

Hope you all had a wonderful May Day!

May Baskets

 The May Baskets are pretty much set for delivery...they may be one day late for most folks..it all depends how I feel.  

They are supposed to be Hedgehogs...but might look more like Porcupines.

This pattern is the last of the Sack It creatures...I will have to start over again next year or find a new design.  I have seven different animals over the years...dog, pig, sheep, owl, fox, raccoon and hedgehog. 

May Day 1954 that was my dog Frosty in the background...he was a gift from my Maternal Grandparents.  They always saw that I had a dog when I was little.

Raiding the stash

 I raided my "stash" upstairs for the beginnings of a new crochet project.  

Not sure if this will be the final pick or not.   The dark burgundy in front may not make the cut.  Far Guy rolls all my yarn into balls for me...because I do not like yarn surprises like factory knots or thin spots. 

I am going back to a pattern that I used years ago...individual fancy granny squares....maybe... we shall see how it all works out. 

Quiet day on Wednesday.  Not much accomplished except a really long nap. 

Supper was eggs:)

Minnesota weather: High 45F  or 7C  Low was 29F or -2C.

Old

 Feeling a bit  a lot old this Spring.  Some good news is that all my biopsies at the dermatologist came back benign.  Nothing to worry about there! 

We had a quiet day...I had lots of RA pain so the couch and a hot rice bag were my best friends. The pain exhausts me so when I get comfortable I go to sleep.

Far Guy began a project.  He is taking all the old grout off from around the bathtub and redoing it...it is quite the project. 

Supper was Chicken Enchiladas and peaches...both from the freezer.

Minnesota weather:  High 46F or 8C  Low was 28F or -2C.

Remember this?

 

Well it is now a ugly looking blanket...back in the day I would have called it fugly ucking :)

Lots of small balls of yarn used up.  This was a project I started and only worked on in the afternoons while we watch Grey's Anatomy.  We are in Season six now and I will need to figure out another project.  

I have a couple of ideas for the next project.  Might be time to revisit one of my previous projects:) 

We had a quiet day, it rained just about an inch according to the neighbors. 

Minnesota weather: High 41F or 5C  Low was 29F or -2C.  Rainy and the grass is turning green.
