A few finishes

I have a few finishes to show you, but I also have a few little gifts to show you too. I neglected to share the sweet things that Becky and Gracie shared with me when we met them for dinner last week.

First of all Gracie made me a beautiful purple washcloth and also gave me a skein of purple cotton yarn. We share a love of the color purple. That Easter card was very special to me. Thank you Gracie!

I have a confession to make about Becky’s gift. There were two delicious chocolate eggs in this basket but I neglected to take a picture of them. Dennis and I ate them while we were driving to the ocean on Sunday afternoon. They were delicious Becky. Thank you so much. She also gave me the sweetest little bunny lotion bar.

In the mail yesterday was this beautiful Easter card from Vicki who is “Stitchy McFloss” over on my side bar. I have no idea why it took so long to get here. Our mail seems to get slower all of the time. What a beautiful card, also in my favorite color of purple. Thank you for thinking of me Vicki.

I made two wash cloths while we were gone last week

I had both of the cuffs done on these two socks before we left on vacation and I actually managed to finish them as we drove home.  They haven’t been washed yet but I put them on the blockers to show you. They are made with Knit Picks Felici yarn, but I’m sorry, I forget the colorway and I threw the label out.

I started this crochet baby blanket on Sunday morning. I finished it on Tuesday! It is so fast. It is 33” x 33” square and it is called, “Call The Midwife Baby Blanket”. There is a YouTube tutorial online.  It is super easy to just add as many square motifs as you want to make the blanket any size.

A little closer look at the detail.

I thought I would share another picture of the beach with you. This was the day before we left, so it would have been last Thursday.  It was ridiculously windy that day. There was no one walking on the beach and while it wasn’t very cold, the wind made it impossible. You can see how it drifted the sand over even the little rocks on the beach. Look at that log! It had just come in on the tide that morning.

We had to go buy a new faucet for the bathroom sink in the trailer. Something happened to it over the winter. So Monday night we took another load in the truck up there and dropped it off and Dennis replaced the faucet. It works perfectly now. All that’s left for Dennis to haul up there is the grill and the cushions for our chairs. It’s a big job, closing up and opening up. But once it’s done it’s so easy to just go up there with the food and the clothes that you need.

Wishing you all a lovely Wednesday.

“Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfector of our faith. For the joy set before Him, he endured the cross, scorning it’s shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”  Hebrews 12:2
