Some of my many projects...




I've been trying to keep myself busy... Yes, I know that doesn't sound like much to some, but they aren't in my head either. I've been knitting this pair of socks for Bri. They are taking a little longer Than I expected. But I do like them. The Noro always has a great feel to it. These are with the Silk Garden Sock yarn. With a cabled pattern from Ravelry.
The other's are soon to be coffee cups. I'm making them for the knit shop here in Summerville. The Village Knittery. I've been having so much fun with them. I know we should be having our monthly knit-a-long soon. I've been trying to come up with some differnt ideas for her on the cups. Let me know what you think of them.
I've been thinking of making a couple of other little things to make some gift baskets with. I'll post it when I get it all figured out.
The lastest episod of our home is having squirles in our attic! Let me know if you have any idea's to remove them. We had a friend come over and check it out today. So I hope it helps.
We also found out this last week that my son will be going to Iraq in May. I pray the Lord has us ready for it. I know with His guidence and strength Tommy and the rest of us will be ok. Please keep all in your prayers.

The Flower Town Festival






Out town's festival was this week end. Lets say it was wet and crowded. But we still had a really good time. Our flowers are in full bloom, azalea's, wisteria, dogwoods, and so many more. (If you know the name of the pink tree please let me know it's my favorite).
We had two days of rain the day it started. so everyone was setting up in rain and mud...yuck! Then out came the sun. It was beautiful. Sunny warm breeze a perfect spring day. I even got sunburned. There was some wonderful art.(photography, watercolors,pottery). Alot of new people. I had a good time visiting with them.
We also had our ever faithful pipers, how I love to hear the drummers and pipers. They came marching up thru the pack of people. The kids were loving it.
The rain washed alot of the pollen out so that was a huge help. Then there was the smell, the wisteria was fantastic, then there was cotton candy, BBQ, hot dogs, lemonade, kettelcorn... need I go on? Lets just say you really want to eat alot of all of it.
