Describe Normal

Would someone explain to me why two normal people, produce a crazy, wild child? I wanted a nice picture of the beautiful flowers MDH surprised me with. No such luck. Oldest daughter thought it was a chance to show her true colors. I guess she is like her mom.....SO says gramma. In any event, the flowers were, rather are, for my birthday Tuesday. Very pretty. Very much a surprise.   




SO, I tried another shot. 
Can you see her. She is hiding. LOL.
Well this is it. This is the best shot I can get of the flowers. And that is that. See if I rush to get her purse done. 


Getting to more serious stuff....My knitting. Slow knitting this week. Don't know why. I even went to Bloomin yarns yesterday...............................                              
and bought.......NOTHING!!!! What is wrong with me! I did like a model, I came home and ordered the pattern. Once I get it I will head back over and get the yarn for it.
Presently I am working on the baby sweater. It is almost at the bottom rib. It is so sweet. I will say this. The yarn is very hard on your hands. Its blue skies colored cotton. The designer has you knit on a 7. It hurts your hands. Well, It hurts my hands.
I do like the final results. It is going to be a cute spring sweater for the baby boy that will be born in April.   


And finally, I ordered this book. I was so excited.  We camp and I knit while we camp! I thought it would be full of cool camping patterns and stuff. Not so. Not so great. I am a little disappointed. Maybe I will write my own.

Hope you have a great week. Get lots of knitting done. Start a new project, or finish one that has been in the UFO pile! It will get you motivated, I promise! Here's to crazy kids and snow days yet to come!
