Summer Surprise Box Club is Here!

I have been so excited for this box from Twice Sheared Sheep to get here! The first picture was the box packed with all the “stuff”! I put pictures up of each thing so you could see them up close, starting with the card that came in it with a description of all the pretties! The next 2 pictures are the Project Journal Stationary Set. The plastic page is a needle and crochet sizer and a 4″ stitch gauge and ruler that fits in the knitting journal I got in the Spring, then there are two really cute sparkly pens :). The next picture is a beautiful octopus collectable tin and the tin dividers to seperate your stitch makers and progress keepers. Without the dividers you can put small scissors and a small tape measure in this large tin. I really love it. The next picture is an odd and even numbered stitch marker set, I am making a diagonal scarf and I only increase and decrease on one side so this will make it ease to see what side of the project I’m on because it’s a garter stitch project :), and with it is a cute set of sea creatures stitch markers :). Next to the last picture is some beautiful fingering weight yarn by Cornbread & Honey Yarn. It is so pretty and has 490 yds!!! Last, but hardly least, is a really cute sea creature project bag with a zippered pocket on the back side, it matches the set of sea creatures stitch markers :). I did forget to get a separate picture of the two cute stickers, but you can see them in the first picture of the box. Love this box. :). One more box for this year in the Fall. :). This has been fun!

I bought 2 sets of stitch markers from Adore Knit, but I have to take pictures of them, will try to get them up tomorrow :).

Memorial Day 2024

I give special reverence to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice, their lives, for what they loved, a free and safe country for their families and all of us. May we honor them in all we do and may we always remember that freedom has a price and keep this country free and safe in their honor. Prayers said for their families.

FO, The Winter Tree in Spring, and Hibiscus

I made two more dish cloths from the Hobby Lobby’s I Love this Yarn cotton. It’s a very soft cotton and I like it! These were a gift for a friend.

The 2nd picture is the Tree that I always show in the snow shots in the winter, so I thought I would show you it actually has a different life in the spring and summer :).

The 3rd picture is a braided Hibiscus tree. I love the flowers. It was a gift from my daughter for Mother’s Day, but she gave it to me early because she was afraid she would kill it before then, lol. I have small plants in my house but this is the first tree. I hope I don’t kill it either. I’ll set it outside for 6 hrs everyday when it warms up a bit and it’s not windy so it can get more sun than by my sliding glass door because it doesn’t get a lot of direct sunlight, tho it said it liked indirect sunlight too, maybe it’s not too picky!

Storms here today, tho so far they haven’t been too bad. But more storms tomorrow and Sunday. We will see what happens, we could use the rain.
